September 11, 2017

Ok, just like I have read with other missionaries, we too are expanding our resource pool and recieving the ability to use facebook. I thought we would be using our wierd area specific emails for this, but we will be using our old Facebook accounts so that'll be interesting for sure. They asked us to send this out so that if you ever end up seeing that I am on Facebook or messenger I'm not being a scemo missionary, I should actually be doing good missionary things (I don't really know what yet, since we havent had our training yet, but you'll see.

Ok a cool experience we had during the week was seeing two times we were guided to do certain things or extend certain invites. For example one time during a lesson we brought out the talk to investigators and friends of the church or something like that and in it it referenced a scripture Alma 42 that must have hit this person we were shoeing the video to since she asked for my Book of Mormon and searched it up and read most of the chapter right then and there then asked some great some great thoughts showing she had had her own learning experience in that moment.
Also during that lesson we gave them two chapters to read since we didn't know which to give them in that moment, but when we saw them the next day she asked a question near the end of the lesson and expressed doubt in her faith in Christ and we taked for a little and gently led her back to one of the invite scriptures Mormon 9 which addresses this specifially, so I hope she can once again have her own experience and grow her testimony on the things that she has learned personally through the spirit.

There was also a grand festa in our little city called Santa Maria, this city is usually dead as a doornail but for these last three days it was the place to be. There were games, food, rides, a roller coaster, and a concert stage. There were preformances like a talent showing singing thing the first night, modern dance the second, and a band came and played the third night. These were especially crazy since each of these events went for more than 3-4 hours each. We don't know exactly how long they went but the last night we were awaken by one of the loudest firework shows ever at almost 1 in the morning.


Oh yah transfer calls were this week, I stayed in Catanzaro with Anziano Haws. yeah let's gooo!!
