ANother week come and gone. I can´t believe that we´re already in the end of January!! AHHH! Ok I have so much to share this week but so little time. I´m going to share just a little bit of everything.
Before I start, I have a new obsession. Monkey´s. I think they´ve made it to 2nd behind Dolphin´s. Haha we´re teaching somebody that has a monkey. It´s the cutest thing ever! We were trying to teach English and the whole time the Monkey was reaching out of his cage to pull my hair and hold my hand. Aww they´re the cutest!
Anyway, no for the crazy things that happened this week. Thursday it rained SOO much. We made it to an appointment just before the it started crashing down. We thought that that was the end of it, but right when we left it started pouring again. We got drenched. We started running to catch the bus and Hermana Diaz lost her shoe. Quite the experience. Then these guys on the bus asked me if I wanted to go drink at the train station. Haha too bad I didn´t have the word of wisdom pamphlet. Anyway, we got out of our last appointment of the day and the roads were flooded!! The Elders have a picture literally swimming in the streets because they got soaked trying to pedal there bikes through it. Lucky enough we were at bishop´s house and he gave us a ride home... but it was insane!
I had a neat experience with one of our investigator´s (Gaston). One of my weeknesses that I feel I have is my knowledge of the Book of Mormon. Well, thrusday we had a lesson to try and help our investigator have more of a desire and it was amazing. We taught completely with the Book of Mormon. I don´t even know where the scriptures came from, but they ended up being perfect. It was the most amazing feeling ever. We taught with so much unity and he was asking so many amazing questions. He actually had the desire. Even better, he ended up coming to church yesterday!! The Book of Mormon answers all the questions of the soul!!
Wow, so yesterday was absolutely CRAZY!!! Bishop texted us an hour before church started to see if we could teach gospel principles class. It was the Elders week, but we quickly put together a fun little object lesson to teach the war in the premortal life. (The class ended up being excellent!) About 2 minutes before Sacrament meeting started I asked to give a talk because they were short a speaker. Ayy ayy ayy... a talk with no notice whatsoever?! Luckily I still had my outline of quotes from President Monson´s talk, so I used that and gave a talk about the obstacles we face in this life. I stuttered a thousand times, but it didn´t go over too terribly. You know me and talks. I´m getting better... but I´m not the best speaker.
That was a lowsy explanation of this week, but I wanted to get a little email off to a few others this week. It ended up being an excellent week. We had investigators come!!! Yipee :) That´s the best part ever! We taught the most amazing lesson last night to a 15 year old girl that has sooo many obstacles in her life. She lost her sister and a few others in her family, and her family really needs this message right now. We didn´t have a lesson lesson, but we were able to introduce our purpose as missionaries. I kid you not, every single word came directly from the spirit. I´m so so so excited to teach their family and let them know about this message of hope. It´s going to change their lives! I´ll keep you posted on how it goes.
Love you all so very much! Have an amazing week. Don´t ever forget the very must important things in life. ALWAYS put them first. LOVE YOU!!!
COn MUCHO AMOR,
Hermana Wright
