This week was pretty great. Got some interesting things to tell, that's for sure! I'll jump right in.
Well there's like a 40 year old woman that we contacted that will not stop blowing up our phone. She has... ulterior motives... we'll say, so we don't reply anymore. Not cool though, she has a husband and kids and tries to hit on me. Maybe we`ll send the Sister Missionaries over there!!!
We were visiting a less active family and started talking about the Book of Mormon. The dad opened up to us and shared his testimony that the Book of Mormon is true. He said he used to hear voices telling him to kill his wife and kids. The missionaries gave him a Book or Mormon with the promise that if he read it, his problem would go away. He said that as he read the book the voices went away and haven't returned. Wow! He was almost in tears telling us and it was a powerful moment.
Well we are likely having another baptism on the 9th of April! Angelique, the younger sister of Monique whom we just baptized, wants to get baptized and the mom is cool with it! Only problem is that she is 9 years old and doesn't like waking up for church sometimes haha.
So I saw a tarantula, just in the street. It has begun. Hope I never have to deal with spiders out here. There's a ton of cockroaches all of a sudden! We also have really chill little lizards that are always crawling around the walls in the house. They eat bugs so we let them be.
We found the craziest old lady ever on Friday! We knock at the door and see her inside. She wakes up and says that she was praying but to come inside! okay cool. We enter and sit down. She says she is a 7th-day Adventist but thinks we should all love each other. Cool! maybe this will be a great visit! She then goes on to tell us that she lives in the states but comes down to Honduras a couple times a year to hike a certain mountain and read the scriptures and pray to God. She claims to have had visions and revelations. She told us that the animals teach her many lessons in the forest. She asked me to help her send a fax to the president of Honduras to protect her sacred spot on the mountain. She said that her husband left her for another man. She got waaaay too explicit with her medical conditions. She offered us a drink and it turned out to be a laxative when I read the bottle. Woohoo. Said that she went to the Los Angeles Temple and that Joseph Smith loves gold more than God. She kept speaking to me in broken english so I would understand, even though I could. She has been baptized 3 times. Baptist, Adventist, and then once in a river in Jerusalem. Said she traveled across all the United States of America and many other countries. All and all, I really do not know what happened in that house. Still really confused. But she gave us each a TON of ziplock bags because they're super useful!
I helped our new investigators get his motorcycle running! But then it stopped a couple minutes later and wouldn't go again. I'm thinking it's the carburetor! Maybe we'll do a `service project`` for a couple hours! They came to church this week so I am really excited about Josue and Bessy!
Hope you all have a great Semana Santa! (Holy Week)! Happy easter!
