up with my new comp from Idaho who's name is Elder Pitman. So after
the hour train ride and then a short five minute wait it was off to
the chapel where we wrote! And shot some hoops because they have a
small basketball court here so that's super awesome! And they even
have voltage Mountain Dew! Well after pday was over it was to do some
pass bys and make a ton of phone calls to get some lessons set up
which was good! Then back to the piso for the night!
Tuesday: Well today we had a lesson with this man who has been
investigating the church for about five years so we are just helping
him clear up a few doubts that he might have still and then hopefully
we can get him a baptismal date soon! Then later we were out
contacting in the street when nothing seemed to be working. Then I
remember what president pack said about finding creative ways to
contact. So here there are a ton of basketball courts so I saw a twenty
year old man shooting some hoops so we went over and talked about
basketball for a couple minutes which was good and then we invited him
to our bball activity but he had work but wants to play on Monday. So
that will be awesome and then we got to meet with the branch mission leader
which was great with some tortilla de patata!
Wednesday:well today we had lunch with the jobreos which was really
good. And kind of funny because they were giving my comp a really bad
time on his accent so my comp was freaking out haha. Then we talked
about the branch and a few other things with them. Then later we went
over to M_ house to meet with him and his ten year old son. He is
baptized but the son is not but wants to get baptized. So we should be
able to get him on a baptismal date soon so that will be cool. Then we
found a young man from the Dominican Republic that we are hopefully
going to be able to play a little soccer with him in a couple weeks.
So that should be great! And the we mainly contacted for the night.
Thursday: well it went something like this. It first started off with
some contacting until it was time to head over to the branch
presidents house for lunch where we had some very delicious spaghetti.
Then we decided to go contacting and do some pass bys when we found an
old investigator named Jose. He recently had to have a surgery for
some really bad digestive problems and other things so he had a super
cool story well he really wants to get baptized so that was cool to
here his story but he said he wants his wife to be supportive of the
decision before he gets baptized. Then we headed over to Hermano
juanjos house for lunch where we had some pasta with meatballs and
Carmel ice cream for desert so that was awesome! Then later we were in
the bus and my comp said I'm going to talk to these two girls who were
sitting in front of us. So he just asked them where the bus stopped so
then I came in for the save asking them if they knew English so they
said a little and I invited them to English class. And they said they
would try to be there so that was super cool!
Friday: today we saw a huge miracle well I did at least. Today started
off with having lunch with a less active family and the guy is a huge
volleyball fan and his job is helping with different professional
volleyball teams. Then later it was time for English class we were
able to have a lesson with M_one of our investigators she is
getting really close it seems like to be getting baptized we just need
to get her to start coming to church. Then we had English class when
this woman came in the door that is 90% blind asking if she could
learn English so I quickly volunteered to give her a private lesson
while the other missionaries where teaching every one else. So we were
talking for a little bit and talked about Jesus Christ. And then
started talking about her favorite things to do and she said it was to
listen to books and to my great surprise she said her favorite book is
the Book of Mormon. Then we went on talking about how she wanted to
become a nurse but can't with her situation but still gives thanks to
God every day! We all must remember to be like this great example
although life gets rough give thanks to God for all the blessings that
you have.
Saturday: well the day started off with some contacting and then a
basketball activity which was a whole lot of fun. We actually have a
basketball court inside the church which is super legit! While at
basketball we played 3 on 3 and had some fun and then everyone was
tired so I told elder pitman my comp and elder ward we should play two
verse one still managed to win but it was a very close game! Then we
had lunch and taught the restoration to Marion family which went
really well the son wants to get baptized but the mom isn't to sure!
And then to end the day we had a lesson with hermana pepa about our
true identity as children of God!
Sunday: well today was filled with quite a few super awesome miracles
which first started by two of our investigators coming to church and
then two other people came to church just because and now we are going
to start teaching them later this week. Then a menos activo came to
church just cause after five years and we can hopefully start meeting
with him soon! So after lunch we had a great lesson with Jesus about
the restoration which went really well he even accepted our invitation
to read the Book of Mormon! Well that was are great week here in Spain
love u all have a great week.
Love Elder Fuerte!
