I`m such a bad child.
Anyways I got your packages last week. Thank Gma And Gpa for all the goods (Especially all the beef jerky). All the candy is gone now though, but that`s what you get for sharing, oh well. I really liked Job 34:31 and the Chastisemints. The satan heads really creeped me out. To every time there is a "seasoning" was really funny. You put 3 Nephi 27:14, but I think you meant 13, I really liked the mini preach my gospel. I still have no Idea how D&C 88:124 connects with now and laters. Mosiah 4:16 was funny, ha ha succor. I liked everything, but those are the ones I remembered most. The music you sent doesn`t work with my music player by the way, I`ll have to find a way to change the format.
On to the week!
Tuesday the bus left early, so we had to wait 30 minutes for the next one to Coronel Oviedo. Then once we got there we waited 45 minuted for a bus to take us to the capilla for district meeting. It was frustrating. Got my packages though. We taught a guy we randomly found in the street named Carlos Andino, the first thing he asked is "why don`t you guys believe in Maria?" He is just crazy enough to become a member. Later we taught Victor his sister Mirian Medina and invited them to pray to find the truth and see if they should get baptized. Victor says he doesn't like to be obligated to do things and he has very little faith, but he said he would try it. What surprised me was when Mirian said "I`m fine how I am. We explained to her authority again, and she said she would pray, but it didn't seem like she even cared. I`m not sure what will happen.
Wednesday was depressing because we taught a guy and he accepted a baptismal date, but he lives in the other elders area. Thursday I learned a new word Bochorno or Bochornoso. While we were eating at Flia Gomez`s they got into a huge fight and afterwards my comp taught me that new word. It basically means Embarrassing. That day we taught Lorenzo after not being able to teach him for a long time. Lorenzo told us a bunch of crazy Catholic church stories. I`m not sure if he will change, but I can`t believe how gullible and blind this people are. If people get possessed every time you go to a Catholic activity ¿Doesn't that mean that Satan is constantly present? Isn`t that the logical explanation? To me it seems so obvious, but I also have the spirit of discernment with me, so I guess I can`t blame them. But I will anyways ¡Que Bochornoso!
Friday we taught 7 lessons. It was Virgin Maria day or whatever, so we taught a bunch of random people who were at home. The first lesson was at 11am to a drunk guy (Drunk at 11am?). I showed him Galatians 5 were it says that Drunks can`t go to heaven and he cried. Then we gave him a Word of Wisdom and a lesson 3 pamphlet, because it talks about repentance. I`m pretty sure his entire family was drunk. He kissed our hands goodbye Eww! Later we taught a guy who believes in the book of mormon and Joseph Smith, but it doesn't matter, he is still catholic. Ugh! Third random guy started out as a contact, but by the end he wanted to read Joseph Smith History to learn more about him. The fourth random guy was a drunk who contacted us outside the church. He wanted us to "cure" him of his Alcoholic ways, so we did a kneeling prayer on the sidewalk and gave him a Word of Wisdom pamphlet. Problem is he doesn't want to choose to give it up, he just wants a quick and permanent fix.
After English class, with only one student, we went and taught Victor again. He actually read the part we left him and more, so he had some questions for us. I talked too much, but besides that the lesson went really well and he says he will read the Book and Pray. On the way to the house we contacted a guy named Carlos Faraone. He asked me (In poor English) "Would you like to drink water with me in my House?" So he took us to his house (Chuchi) and bought us Sprite and Empenadas and he let me hold his pet monkey. ¡¡AWESOME!! Then we taught him and he accepted a baptismal invitation. ¡¡Double AWESOME!! Turns out he is friends with our lawyer member Hno Mercado, so he already has a good connection with the church.
Saturday we talked to Carlos Andino again and all I can say is he watches TV too much. Sunday a bunch of random people came to church including Jose (Who is gay) with a "friend". Later we taught Lorenzo again. He almost dropped us, but I`m to smart. He also told us more crazy Catholic stories. We gave a blessing to a dying lady, who is mother of an investigator, and we taught her entire family The Plan of Salvation. They didn't listen very well, but at least we are on the good side of our investigators. Alcidez Brisuela dropped us after a very long explanation of why. He says he wants to search for the truth on his own and not be influence by anybody. 20 lessons this week ¡¡WOO!!
LOVE YA,
Elder Zachary James Singson
