I left my notes in my other agenda in the house soooo I´m going to have to try to remember everything.
WE HAD TRANSFERSSSSSS and ............. NOTHING CHANGEDDDD Im still here in Suba with Elder Landa. we own this place.
SULMA GOT BAPTIZED and it was the best thing ever.
she shared her testimony at the end and MAN it was just crazy. she has
such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and her faith is amazing.
She is the bomb.
A NEW DRUNK GUY CAME UP TO ME on saturday and he,
with his crossed eyes, stared at me a long time without saying anything.
Then he looked at my nametag and tried to read my name but then he
confessed that he " couldn´t see so well." I tried to help him by saying
it, but he ended up hearing "Elber Praff". Then, recognizing my
gringo-features and getting to the conclusion that I spoke no spanish at
all, he put his hand on his chest like Tarzan and grunted out "John.
John. JOHN." I politely responded, "Good afternoon." He then continued
staring at my nametag and, with all of thhe focus that he could muster
out, he read the name of Christ. He then affirmed that he "liked that
church" and that he "was a big fan of the Bible." I congratulated and
tried to not pay attention to my laughing companion. I don´t know why
they all find me so interesting. I wish they wouldn´t ahha.
We have found some reallly good new investigadores
of late. As a mission we are really pushing the "talk with everyone"
thing right now and sometimes we find some pretty great people. We are
working right now with a man named Wilson who is from the Colombian
coast. He is super cool and a man of a lot of faith. the majority of the
men from the coastal areas (mostly people of African descendance) are
sooo great. They are really faithful and know that God is more important
that anything else. A lot of people here have a hard time making time
to talk to us, go to church, or even do the little things like praying
and reading. But Wilson has been a stud. he works like soooo many hours a
week (work hour laws here like dont matter) but he makes appointments
with us in his sleeping time so we can chat. Even though he has no time
hardly to think, he always makes time to do the reading assignments we
leave and not just reads them, but understands, ponders, and comes to
such great conclusions. He has a huge desire to put his life in order
and repent. It is amazing. Also, he is already married (one in a hundred
here)!!!! if he keeps goign how he is going right now, he is getting
baptized the 29th of march!!
THE MISSION IS COOL. If you haven´t done it, you
should try it sometime. If you ca´t go out full time, go out on visits
with the Sisters or Elders. It is a blast!
LOVE AND GREETINGS TO ALL
ELDER PRATT
