Hey guys..
So this week was pretty fun. Alot of wierd things have happened this week. First of all there was an emergency transfer because our mission president needed my companion to go to another area to help out some elders so I got a new companion and he is from MEXICO! His name is E. Martinez and he is awesome. So this week we just worked like crazy and saw a ton of miracles. Lately we have been trying to follow the spirit a lot more and I have seen how when we actually look and listen it speaks to us. Also I have realized that 95% of the time it really is just thoughts that I have and I like how David A Bednar counciled us. He said too often we worry about wether its us or the spirit. If its something good just do it and dont worry about that. I have realized that I can recognize that it was the spirit after I have acted on that good impression. So we had a lot of examples like that this week where many of our appointments fell through and rather than being down we though well where does the Lord want us right now because this appointment fell through for a reason. Everytime we have found someone who needed us to come by and teach them. Its super cool! One lady we started to teach has a daughter who was in a lot of pain and super sore from something that happened earlier in the day and she was like practically crying and limping and so we followed our impression to give her a blessing and afterward she got up of the chair and walked without a limp or anything back to her room and the next day we went to her house and she came sprinting down the street to us to tell us that her mom wasn't there at that time. Crazy? I think not. We really have the authority to act in the name of the Savior! Its cool! Another cool thing was we had all of our plans fall through so we decided to visit one more person and when we parked the car we saw some random Mexicans, (They really are from mexico I am not stereotyping here) playing volleyball in the backyard of their trailer. hahaha they had made a homeade net and they were playing volleyball with a soccerball. So we walked over and there were probably 9 or 10 of them and they were all drinking beer and having a good time and they looked at us like "who are these guys." hahaha its like one of those awkward moments where noone really says anything and your all just looking at eachother and kinda wondering whats going on. hahaha so anyways we were like hey we are the missionaries and this is what we do..etc. and then we were like so can we play with you? hahaha They were playing 2 on 2 so it was perfect! At first they were like are you really going to play in your suits? There was no grass it was just dirt and yeah.. hahaha so we started playing and we totally beat them! hahaha it was so funny! hahaha they were like man we were the best players here and now we are humbled!! All of the other guys were like yelling at their friends, your not going to win, your playing against God hahaha it was so funny. hahaha so after they were like he you guys can come back and play with us again we do this everynight! hahaha We haven't gone back yet but we will probably see them again hahaha. Anyways that was my week. It was pretty funny and I had fun. I love you all! Keep being awesome!
