this week was cool. things are going good here and we have found some sweet people so that´s awesome. We found one family this week and the whole family is pumped about the gospel. yeah! like we´ve only taught them two lessons so far, but we gave them a book of mormon, and then the following visit, the dad just starts talking to us about all these things that he read, and i was just thinking, "uuhhh....did he read the right part? we gave him 3 nephi 11, but he´s talking about abinadi and alma. we gave him a book mark and the reading wasn´t that hard to find." no. he just went on a crazy reading spree and that is awesome. and then the entire fam was at church and everyone made friends with members so that was cool.
That was good, but Jonathon´s baptizm fell sunday afternoon, which was dumb and sad. he is an awesome kid, but i swear his mom is the devil. we had all the papers signed by the dad who is really supportive of the church (but can´t come to church because he plays soccer every sunday morning instead), but the mom thinks that getting baptized is too big of a decision for someone and said that he has to wait till he´s 16 (he´s 12 right now). She can tell that to God, who says getting baptized at 8 is legit. We had everything all ready to go and stuff, and all week he was planning on it and then the mom.....well anyway.
But this saturday was cool. we woke up and headed on over to a members house and helped him mix cement the old-fasion-way, which is long and boring, and much more efficent with a cement truck. but basically, we just did that for 4 hours. mixing the sand with the cement mix. then puting the little rocks in with it and adding water. then mixing it all together and bucketing it on up to the roof. that´s what we did for 4 hours.
Also, funny story: this earlier this week we were at this one lady´s house teaching a lesson (it actually turned out to be a bible-bash) but we were teaching this lady and her husband. they were both very old. the lady was very crumpled over and her skin was extremely saggy. at one point, she streched her arms out and her skin was so baggy and falling off that it looked like she had bat-wings. you could see the bones, and then about 3-4 inches lower, the decayed muscle and skin was dangling. i almost laughed, but instead only looked at my comp.
well. hope you guys are doing good. thanks for everything and keep up the good work. love:
