Then, FLASHBOOM! A flash of light and half a second later a GIGANTIC BOOM. I almost fell down. Turns out we were like 40 yards from a lightning rod! AAAH. We later visited a family and told them the story and the mother told us that her mom was killed by lightning. Oh. Crazy stuff!
Another crazy story is that our investigator Manuel, the one with the scar on his face from a bottle, saved a teenager the other day. The kid got stabbed or something and he gave him CPR and drove him to San Pedro Sula. He told us the story way too casually. Like it was nothing! That stuff is crazy!
We gave a member a blessing this week. He disappeared on Tuesday and got drunk and left his wife and daughter without telling them. We shared the parable of the lost sheep the day after and assured him that there is hope and he just has to repent. It was a heavy lesson. But they asked for a Priesthood Blessing and it was a real good experience. They all came to church on Sunday, the first time I have seen them attend since I've arrived. It really surprised me cause we eat there on Tuesdays and he's super nice and I would have never guessed he had a problem. They're doing much better though.
I realize this email is a bit depressing so far so here's the good news!
We had an amazing multizone conference on Tuesday! 3 zones met together with President, his wife, and the assistants and we had several workshops and lectures. It was a powerful experience. It's President Desters last one and he was so sincere in everything. We learned about how important it is for investigators to read the Book of Mormon. Also the character of our Heavenly father and other things.
We taught temples and temple work several times this week and it was a really great experience. The spirit was with us during those lessons for sure.
We did splits yesterday with two young men who are filling out their mission papers. It was fun and a cool experience. They already know how to teach the lessons so it was super easy.
We found a cool family yesterday! The only reason we stopped to talk to them was cause they had a super cool little motorcycle and I wanted to know more. We ended up talking for about an hour with them! I knew my addiction to motorcycles would help me at some point! haha
Side note: Don't do squats in the gym on days that you are going to walk up and down a bunch of hills.
Woooh. That's all folks! I will upload pics and send the link in another email! Dallin
