Hey Yall,
So, we had a very interesting experience last night. Elder Arjona and Elder Westbrook, the elders in another city, stayed at our house last night so they could travel to Concepcion today. Anyway, while they were at our house last night Elder Brann and I began wrestling. Now, Elder Brann is a little bugger, but he's fast and flexible. Not to mention he has the advantage of knowing wrestling moves like my Dad does (That's the only reason my dad can still beat me in wrestling). So, we began wrestling and neither one of us could get the other one down. Every time we hit the ground the one other would just flip over and we would soon be back on our feet trying to get each other's legs again. I think we would have gone all night long had Elder Brann not put me into a choke hold and cut off my air supply. As I was about to pass out, I figured living was more important than beating someone in wrestling. haha, don't worry, it wasn't that serious. He did get a good choke hold on me, but I wasn't actually that close to passing out. He beat me fair and square. :)
We've also had an interesting week with contacting people in the street. We've had people ask about UFOs, the end of the world and the economic status in the USA. The three topics that I personally don't really care about and don't know a whole lot about in the first place. It is a good time to talk to people in the street, though. We find questions we've never found before and how to answer them. Like one guy who told us that Baptizing in the Name of the father, in the name of the son and in the name of the Holy Ghost is incorrect. He showed a scripture that said something along the lines of baptizing in the name of Christ. However, we explained to him that the scripture he showed was Pablo talking and that Jesus Christ himself taught to baptize in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy Ghost. It was really interesting because there's almost no one we've talked to that questions that. But we learned more about why baptism is done like that. The conversation about Extra Terrestrials was even better. :)
We're working with the Branch President's brother and his Girlfriend because he's trying to come back to the church after 15 years of inactivity and she wants to know more. So we visit them a lot and share about the book of Mormon mostly. It's a good time. :)
That about sums up the week for us. Talking to lots, learning lots and experiencing the things that lots of people never even dream of seeing/experiencing. Keep reading the book of Mormon. Study it hard and pray about it. There lies the answer to any question you could ever want to know.
