Conference was awesome! Probably the most I have ever enjoyed it in my life! It blows my mind that our prophet and apostles can receive revelation directly from Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. Just knowing that made conference so much cooler. I got to watch all of the sessions in ENGLISH! The american missionaries were allowed to meet in the ´´ bunker´´(clerks office) of the church and watch conference in english! With air conditioning too so I was really happy. Although I do have a cold again right now so maybe I took too much advantage of the AC! But we ended up having 8 investigators from 3 different families come to at least one session! Two of which are young men (12 and 15) and afterwards said they want to serve missions. okay then lets go take a dip in the font real quick! hahah jokes!
Speaking of baptisms we have 3 lined up for this saturday. One is the 9 year old sister of Monique who we baptized in February. The other two are 9 and 10 year old boys from less active families that didn't get baptized yet. So booya! It will be fun to have a baptismal service just for little kids!
I may be leaving when the other investigators get baptized but i am totally okay with that. I just hope they keep on keeping on, ya know?
I was teaching a not-so-sober man on the side of the street but didn't realize he was probably under the influence at the time. I used an example about authority, trying to explain priesthood authority, and asked if he would let a stranger or a drunk come into his house without a warrant. He went off about how you cant trust those people and that strangers can do bad things and that they will steal from you and kill you or something! Then i asked him if he would allow the police to come in if they did have a warrant to search your house. Then he went off about how the police here would just walk in no matter what anyway. ... Welp... failed attempt...that example usually goes really well!
It wasn't until afterwards my companion told me he was drunk! But he was super nice and agreed with everything at least!
He isn't even the only weird person we talked to that days. SOO many people tell us their dreams that they have as if we are supposed to interpret them. Its fun though!
We had a really good lesson about temples with the mother of Monique, Jessica, the other night. I have been wanting to teach it so bad to her but the situation hasn't allowed it recently. She really understood it and was in tears talking about her mother and what she could do for her. Slowly but surely she´ll come around!
We went to Copan RUINS again today. It was cool, we brought a football to play in the giant field but they didn't let us for some reason! I was super bummed! its all good, we still had a good time!
PS. People are way too chill with the giant spiders here. Normal spiders are GIANT. Like 2 inches or more accross. Not happy with that at all!
Toodles!!
