| One of my fave families!! They left for vacation for two months... but the girl in black is our investigator. Candela. This is familia Gramajo.... LOVE THEM!! awwwww |
We were teaching a lesson this week to one of our investigators son. He's 30 years old and his mom was on vacation. So we were teaching him and he just said,
"Wait... that's not the Bible? Why hasn't anyone said anything about this before?!" hahahah His mom and his girlfriend have a Book of Mormon and his mom has a baptism date... Come on Jorge! hahahaha he's never in lessons. He's always there to socialize and then too busy to listen for a lesson! So SUCCESS! hahahah Gosh....He said that of course he'll read the Book of Mormon and he was going on and on and asking questions. It was so good, but so hilarious.

| This is one of my investigators drawings... wow huh... she gets baptized this Saturday!! Shes so cute! |
We were with one family and the hermano caught this GIANT FROG and was like do you want to hold it... eh why not? And the hermana was mumbling on and on about how if it came towards her she would kill it and me.... hahaha so what happens... it jumps from my hands towards her. hahahahahahah I cannot stop laughing about it. My companion flinched but this lady, she dove out of her lawn chair with pure terror.... I almost lost the frog again because I was laughing so hard. The hermano told me that in the United States, we lick the back of frogs to get high.... hahah I didn't know why did that... I learn something new about my life everyday. hahah so stay in school kids and stop licking frogs. He also told me to kiss the frog to find my prince... hahahahaha no. Not for a year and a half buddy. hahahah
This week has been hilarious and random... and I hope my life continues on like this. Hilarious, random, yet spiritual.
One thing I've learned this week is... Everyone talks of Christ like love and how that's important and how Christ loved everyone... and I've been striving towards this. But also... Having Christ like love is not just ignoring the bad things people do but loving them enough to help them. Christ was strong. He knew he was and where he was going... literally. And he loved everyone but he was also firm. There's no space for weak testimonies. This world is too crazy. Christ's foundation in God, and our foundation is in Christ. This week I've been learning so much about our brother Christ and how he really is the perfect example. I love him so much and I know he loves me. I've been trying to find the balance between love and strength and finding strength in my love for others. I don't know if this email even makes sense... my brain is kind of all over, but I know that Christ died for us and he lives for us. And this week, this month has been a trial of love and righteousness. Loving someone enough to bring them back to the right path. Jesus carved the path for us, all we need to do is walk as and where he walked. And lead his sheep down this path. Hold someones hand as you strive to do good.
I love you all mucho!!!
