well it sounds like your week was
fun! Those swag drinks looked pretty good if you ask me! Mommy, the
ocean looked beautiful! im glad you had fun with grandma and grandpa
too! they are just the best and so cute! I hope you keep having fun in
Vegas too! but go home to my dad soon! Dad sounds like you had a fun
week but a little bit lonely, i don't blame you! i don't like being home
alone...
okay well this week was crazy!! and so much happened! im excited to tell you all about it :)
well
so first off our apartment stinks! just like a smoker, its bad. so we
had been telling our bishop about it and he told us he had something
that would take away the smell! its called an ozone machine and what you
do is you just plug it in, turn it on, and leave the apartment for like
6 hours then it will turn off by itself and you just have to wait an
hour from when it was off to occupy the space again. so what happens is
that this machine puts out ozone or something and it basically sucks ups
all the bad smell. well so we did it and we came back at 9 and the
smell was pretty strong. and so then we got nervous because we thought
we were going to get like ozone toxins inside us and die so we kind of
panicked and we called president asking him what we should do... haha he
said that would should be fine and not too worry about it... well the
good news is, we woke up in the morning and we didn't die! haha i guess
the side affects from the machine aren't anything serious just like
respiratory irritation and mucus membrane build up? But now, our
apartment doesn't even smell that bad anymore! so we are so happy :)
next
story happened on saturday... so we decided to walk to some of our
appointments and as we were walking we had to text one of our members
who was going to pick us up. so we were walking down the road and this
road isn't a super busy road but there are always a couple of cars on it.
well so we stopped and i hear this dog barking and i don't think much of
it until i hear hermana torres start screaming and yelling crazy words
in spanish, i turn around and this dog is just bolting towards us! it wasn't a huge dog, but it was a little rat either and it was showing
teeth like it was going to bite us. so i turn around trying to protect
myself and start swinging my bag at the dog because i don't want to run
away and have it start chasing us. well at this point we are like it in
the road and all these cars are just honking at us, but this dog just
keeps barking and trying to get us! then another dog comes out! i am
freaking out just like screaming "no! no stop!!!" then finally the owner
calls for it and they go back inside.... it was the worst! then this
other car pulls over and gets out to make sure we are okay, but yes,
that is the story of our crazy dog encounter... haha dogs are the
worst... and everyone in Tennessee has one and they are never on leashes
either.... the worst!
Okay and now here is the
miracle! so my ward is having a special convert baptism on the 22nd of
February and so we are all trying to have one of our investigators to be
baptized then, so we have just been praying so hard to know who could
be ready for baptism this date.. well last week i told you all about
Narsico. the 14 year we met who is just plain awesome! well we had
another really really great lesson with him last night! and we got him
to commit to baptism on the 22!!!!! MIRACLES so we started the lesson
out just answering some questions he had. then we invited him to prepare
for baptism and he said he would like to, but he just doesn't feel like
he is worthy cause he sins and stuff, so we talked about the atonement.
the spirit was so strong. he said that about a month ago he had prayed
to God to help him go back to church and to have someone help him out
with going. then 2 weeks later we knocked on his door, he was so
surprised. We told him our we felt inspired to go to his door. We then
asked him to prepare for baptism and he said he would! YAY!!! Please
please please pray for him. He hasn't been to church once yet, and he
needs to come the next 3 weeks in a row in order to be baptized on the
22nd so if you all could please pray for him? he is amazing!
I
truly just have such a strong testimony of this work. I truly know that
the Lord's hand is in this work. I just have such a strong testimony of
following the promptings of the spirit. I just am so thankful that i
get to be out here serving the lord and building up his kingdom here in
middle Tennessee!
I hope y'all have a great week! love you tons!
