Sorry, I have NO time to write today. We spent like four and a
half hours washing our clothes today because we don´t have anyone around to use
a good washing machine. We walk like a mile or two to use someone´s machine but
then we have to pull buckets of water out of a tank to fill the machine to
wash, then wait, and fill it again to rinse, then hang it and do it for a total
of 4 loads. Takes forever.
I put smile because in 2 Nephi 9:39 it talks about
being spiritually minded. Spirtually Minded Is Life Eternal. I was
thinking about it and it isn´t coincidence that it comes out like that. To
really be focused on the spiritual things is what really makes us happy, or
SMILE. Little things that God does to make the life better.... it´s amazing.
Silvia is an investigator that has been going to church for
months and knows a member and really likes it all but hasn´t wanted to get
baptized. We showed up to our appt on Tuesday and we started talking. She
starts saying that she wants to buy her own scriptures and everything and then
asks about the burning in the bosom thing. We explain it and then she told
us why. Last week in the English class we talked baout how to bear your
testimony in English. She kind of did it in the class but never said that
"I believe this church is true" phrase. She just talked about prayer
and general things. I left them the homework to translate their testimony and
while she was translating her testimony into Englsih, she said that she felt
the burning in the bosom and knew that the church was true. She talked to her
mom about getting baptized and just told us that she´s waiting on her mom to be
able to put the date, so that her mom can attend. It was really cool.
I did exchanges this week and while I was on exchanges, Elder
Lamping and Elder Bautista taught Bety. She´s going to get baptized on October
12th, that is if her baby isn´t born before. She has been feeling a little sick
lately and they gave her a blessing. When they finished giving the blessing she
looked around and asked, "How many hands were on my head?" and they
respond that just four. However, she responded saying that she felt more hands
on her head and somebody with their hands on her shoulders, too. It was a
pretty neat experience and she says that she´ll never forget it.
Yesterday we got called over to a group of drunk guys while we
were walking. It happens a lot when one of them just wants to speak english.
So, this guy just asked us if we wanted to drink, and of course we said no, but
that we were looking for people to be taught. He replied, "I´m too drunk
to be teached, but maybe next week!" I wanted to reply to him, "Maybe
your just too drinked to be taught!" and see if he noticed, but I thought
I´d better not. :) Where would the comedy come from without drunk people?
Anyway, love you all but I gotta go. No time left. We hope to
find somehwere wlse to wash this week, but we´ll see about that.
Loves!
Elder Hill
