Week 18: January 18, 2016

Good afternoon y'all,

          This past week has been interesting, really fun and amazing
experiences.  First off I hit my 4 month mark this last Saturday.  I
still can't believe I left beautiful Washington state 4months ago.
It's so weird to me just thinking about it, it doesn't feel like I
left home that long ago.  Another thing that was interesting from this
last week is I can't remember what I did.  I can barely remember what
I did yesterday.  So hat has made life interesting and hard but it is
still a ton of fun out here.  The weather is staying relatively cool
but we have had two crazy rain storms.  It just started pouring and it
was so wet and rainy.  But it was so fun to go out in it and get
soaked, the interesting thing is the drains always seem to be broken
because the roads are always flooded when it rains but it's fun to
ride a bike in.

        Here's one interesting thing we have two investigators who
have a baptismal date for February 6th.  One of those was supposed to
be baptized this Saturday but he needs more time to prepare for it.
But we were meeting with him this last week and he was trying to fix
the tv and was really stressed out so he asked us to say a prayer with
him.  So we started a prayer and in the middle of the prayer we heard
a loud clicking, it was a extension cord short circuiting.  So in the
middle of the prayer he yells "oh no!!!!" Flips the chair and finds
the extension cord that was starting to spark and make a little flame.
So he yelled "emergency, we have a code 4 evacuate the building".
Luckily he stopped the little flame from getting big, but it was an
interesting and funny experience.  I have learned that weird and funny
things happen on your mission.

        But that's about it for the week, I wish I could remember
more.  But do know this everything I experience out here is
strengthening my testimony.  The more things I go through gives me a
sure knowledge that this gospel is true.  There is nothing that can
prove it to be true or false.  But we have our own testimonies that
prove to us at this gospel is true.  I know that God has again called
a prophet to he earth and that he has been called to lead all of God's
children on the right path.  I am grateful for this gospel and the
many wonderful blessings that come as I keep the commandments that God
has put on this earth.

I hope y'all have a great week!!!!
