I learned a lot this week and had some pretty interesting experiences!!!
But sadly we didn't find many new families’ to teach!!!!
I’m going to write a little different this week I’m going to
tell you about our investigators!!
Joao and Zita: this family is our family closest to
baptism!!! We have been teaching them for a really long time like 9 weeks!! They
are a very poor family but some of the greatest faith I've seen!!! they have one daughter as well who will be baptized!!
They own a little shop and they sell stuff out of a shipping container!! They don’t
have like any money but they are getting married which cost a lot here!! Like
1000 MT but they should be opening up their marriage process this week so they
can sign the papers to get baptized!!!
Carlos and Joanna: this family is awesome we have been
teaching them for 3 weeks and we should be able to open up the marriage process
this week!!!! They are a young family with one extremely wild 1 1/2 year old
son named Wesley!!! He is the craziest kid ever, his hobbies are destroying
things!!! He runs around and flirts with little girls during church!!! This
family is a strong family and they have been to church 3 times and he brought
one of his friends this week because he said he knew the church was true!!
Calisto and Joanna: this family is also a really young
family! They live like 45 min away from the church but they still come!! He was
a reference from his brother who got baptized just like 1 moth ago!! His
brother lives in Beria which is in the top half of the country!! They have two
kids one who is 7 and a little girl named Ika!! We had a great lesson with them
about the law of chastity and that they need to get married so they can get
baptized and I told him I think your brother got married so he could be
baptized and he was like no he isn't married so he called him up and was like
WHAT you are married!!!! And then we here my wedding is going to be better than
yours was!!!!! hahaha Elder Robinson and
I just looked at each other and were like Yeah!!!!! This family is awesome!!
Alberto and Carolina: I love this family they have 4 kids 1
boy and 3 girls and their relationship isn't perfect but it’s getting better as
we help them get closer to Christ!!! They have a little boy named Wagoner which is a really weird name for here!!! But
he is understanding everything we teach him like a boss but his wife is a
little slower to understand!! It was really cool our last lesson with them he
bore his testimony to us and was like I know your church is true because I just
feel it and I don’t believe you would come from America to walk around every
day in the hot sun and through the sand to share this message if it wasn't
true!!! It was really awesome and you could feel the spirit way strong!!!! We have been teaching them for 4 weeks!!!!!!
Amerall and Enuice: this family is awesome he is one of the
top people in the military here!!! He lived for 5 years in Russia!!!! He can
speak fluent Russian!!! He and his wife had a drinking problem but as we have
been teaching them you can actually see the change in them he is way happier
and he has a strong testimony of the church already!!! Last time we went over
there they had a nice cake they bought and he said instead of drinking we eat
cake now!!! hahahah they have three boys!! He is the funniest guy I know here!! That's a little summary of our investigators!!
I have a few interesting stories this week!! First one
We went to a new investigators house and got inside and were
look at his walls and looking at all his
pictures he’s got pictures of Jesus and family all over his walls and then we
look on his other wall and there is a huge picture of a naked chick!!! and were
like crap!!! and he sits right
underneath it!! Needless to say we didn't stay very long!!! Yesterday I was
walking down the street and this random drunk guy runs across the road and
freaking shoulder checks me!!!! hahahah I didn't even see him coming but luckily
I’m a big guy because he hit me at like a sprint or as fast as a drunk guy can
run but he like bounces off of me and lands like 5 feet in front of me on the
road!!! I was confused on what just
happened and he gets right back up and starts running and goes up to another
person and scares the crap out of them and starts chasing people!!! hahah he
was an interesting guy!!! hahaha but the funniest thing was it was the zone leaders
birthday on Saturday so we all bought him stuff and made him a cake and we went
in to his room and barged in and he had no idea we were going to do this and no
one said anything to him all day so we get in there and sing to him and give
him all this stuff and he is like I’m very surprised hahahah thank you but it’s
not my B-Day and none of us believed him because he always does this
stuff!! So we just shrugged it off and
he is like no it’s not my birthday and pulls out his ID and shows us hahah and
his birthday turned out to be the next month!!!!! hahaha it was funny!!!! and that’s
about it this week!!I love you guys!!!
Tchau Elder Roberts!!
