FUN FACTS FROM MY LIFE THESE DAYS:
-
I am reading the New Testament still and am finding some cool
scriptures. They are some burried gems here. Also, lots of really funn
scriptures. Like Romans Chapter 14 verse 20 that says (I´m translating
so the wording might be a bit different), "No destruyas la obra del
Señor por causa de la comida." which is really really funny and actually
has some uses, which is fun.
- We were standing outside yesterday waiting for a bus to come by
and a dog urinated on one of our companions which was just about the
funniest thing that has happened in my life.
- As
missionaries, we have some rules like we can´t hug people (well women)
and stuff like that and you know what, I think that is an absolutely
great rule (especially when there are crazy ladies in your ward who come
all up in your grill and you need an excuse to get them off and run
away). That said, who doesn´t like a little hug now and then? SOLUTION:
dogs. not the crazy dogs in the street, but the dogs of nice members of
the ward and investigators who are little and nice and sit on your lap
while you pet them and yeah. there are some precious little dogs here in
San Luis and it is just great. And yes, you all have permission to
laugh at me becuase I am also laughing at myself.
- speaking of dogs, wow there are so many dogs here. Like maybe
more dogs than people. and everywhere. and they are annoying sometimes
and do sketchy stuff. One bit my comp the other day (just a tiny tiny
bit calm down mom) and the next day we went by there again and it came
up to my comp so he kicked it in the face (and softly calm down
everyone) and it hasnt bothered us since. Nor its buddies. sounds like
they learned a lesson to not mess with the dudes in suits. Problem
solved.
I feel bad for not having sent pics
and you guys have no idea of what my life looks like here(well mostly
because we took some wicked awesome pics that I am super proud of and
well I want to brag). But today we finally found internet with a working
USB port and I will be send some your way promptly. You´re welcome.
SCRIPTURE STORY FOR THE WEEK:
so lets all turn in our Book of Mormons- wait no its Books of Mormon- wait no its ummmmmmmmmmm
so
lets all turn in our copies of the Book of Mormon to Moroni 7. Please
read this chapter (whith special emphasis on the back half) placing
special attention to the words Faith, Hope, Charity. These are 3 very
special attributes of Christ (please see Preach My Gospel Chapter 6 for
more info). Analyze these three attributes. Pay close attention to how
we need to have these more in our lives, following the example of
Christ. It is pretty crazy. Like we can do everything perfect, but if we
don´t have charity, it doesn´t do us much good. Think of three ways in
your life your are charitable. Keep it up. Think of three things (and
specific things) that you could do to be a bit more charitable. Make
plans to accomplish this goal. Do it. Pay attention to how good you feel
after. Yeah. That´s right. It´s kinda hard to describe but you feel
really good, huh? Wash, rinse, repeat, and pass it on. Make it a weekly
process, this self-analyzation. Watch the blessings flow to you and
others (maybe even to others through you).
I love you all and hope your lives are wonderful!!

members tell everyone that I am Elmer Praff and its just easier, they
understand better so I let it go)
