Training sure is an interesting experience! I was blessed
with a Hondureñan 18 year old. In just this short week I have
experienced a little bit of what being a father is all about. I have to
teach him the language (Costa Rican Spanish), lend him money (until he
gets payed next month), teach him everything I know (about missionary
work), and make sure that he is happy at all times.
This week we
have had some pretty interesting experiences. Sadly last week many of
our investigators told us to never come back... so we have been forced
to knock doors once again... gross. But my companion has to learn that not
everything we do is fun sooner or later!!
This week I met a very nice
woman who had 666 tattooed on both arms and explained to me that Jesus
was a woman and lives today in Miami. I also had the experience of
talking to a man that explained that the United States has a secret time
machine that we used to make the trojan horse of Rome and ruin lots of
other important events. The city sure is an interesting place...
Well
now that January is almost over we have been trying as hard as we
possibly can so that M gets baptized. (an ex alcoholic that is
making huge life changes one step at a time) He now knows all the
lessons and has been going to church every week since I have been here
but for some reason still doesn't want to get baptized! We have done all
that we can, but he just doesn't think that it is time yet! It's
stressful... but the ward is supporting him 100% and sooner or later he
will be baptized.
Pray that I will be able to find prepared investigators this week please!!
Love you!
