Hey Y'all,
Well, this week was a heck of a week with all we've done lately. I swear I've worked more this week on people's houses than I have in the last 2 years of living at home. ;) No, but the week went like this:
First of all, we went and helped Eduardo, an investigator, move a bunch of sand and rocks into his back patio. It was good physical labor that wiped me out for the rest of the day. Eduardo and his family our so awesome that they gave us lunch that day, too. It was fun working with him on his house. Today we're going to help him take down a pared (wall). :)
Apart from that, we also helped demolish/clean up an old lot of land that a member owns. He's thinking of remodeling it to become a car wash. So, we took down the one building on the lot and sorted out the wood from the rest of the garbage in the wreckage. We hauled a good ton or so of wood between the four missionaries. The member's son helped us out and we're going to try working with him and his wife who live nearby. The son is a member, but inactive, and his wife isn't a member. So, we want both of them to start coming to church and understand the blessings that come from the Gospel. :)
As for the teaching side of things, we taught a "prophetess" inside her own church. It was a little funny to me because we were talking to her outside her house and she stopped us to ask, You guys believe in Christ, right? And in God? You know that Christ suffered for ALL of us and that we need to worship them? We answered, "yeah". Her tone completely changed when she replied, "Ok, were in agreement, then." We then started to talk about the book of Mormon and the restoration of the gospel when she invited us inside and we discovered we had knocked the door of a small church house complete with pulpit and microphones. She then told us that she was a prophetess. We explained the concept of a prophet and what role they play in the gospel. It was kind of funny, actually.
We also talked with a drunk and we got creative with him. He talked to us in the street and we asked if we could use his bathroom. Sure enough, he led us a couple of blocks to his house and let us in. We then started to talk about his family and how we could help him out. We'll see if he's there when we go by this week.
We also discovered in our garage that we can scare the cats that walk on the roof. If you wait for them to walk across the roof of the garage, you can smack the ceiling in the garage and they go running. Fun times, right?
That's about it for this week. Remember to keep reading the Book of Mormon, The key of our religion and the key to finding the truth about all the things God wants us to know. :)
