well another week by haha and this
one went by faster than the last one!
monday.
we had a couple lessons planned but
no one was thier but we did get to teach felipe and we are hoping to see him
progres this week also. we then had a FHE with the bishop who we havent been
able to visit in a while so that was way fun and we also are going to have a
FHE with them today with the bernal family and little elias. so that is goint
to be awesome!
Tuesday.
so i went on splits with an elder
from oregon and we were able to do 20 contacts with people in the street and it
pretty exciting because its hard for me to do that a lot. haha so i feel pretty
good to be ablet ot do that. haha the elder from oregon has actually been to
Bend Oregon where we went for Senior Trip and so that was fun to. and we got to
teach 2 people that are going to get baptized this week and then we taught
thier investigator who doesnt believe in God and so that was fun to and he is
reading the book of mormon in 30 days so in 30 day we are going to have a
athiest get baptized. haha
Wednesday.
well we ate beans for lunch and it
was about 500 degrees outside so that was pretty NEAT! haha we found a new
investigator who is a school teacher and she accepted to get baptized on the 9th
of november but she didnt come to church and we werent able to find her the
rest of the week. haha and we talked to a reference, finally, that we have had
for almost 4 months and he accepted a baptism date in the contact adn
said we were sent from god so that was super awesome because we are
hahaa!
Thursday.
we ate beans again for lunch . so we
found a catholic lady and we were able to teach her and she agreed to get
baptized but didnt accept a bap date but we are getting there! and then we had
a member who is super funny and he came with us the whole and we just laughed
and laughed. haha he is in his 70s actually looks inda like grandpa ethington
but he is way funny and we were able to teach Agusto and the became friends
right off the bat adn that was awesome! and then we taught felipe and that was
super good beacuse hno Medalla was a alchoholic and then converted to the
gospel and so he was able to share his testimony about the word of wisdom. and
it was kinda funny also because he use to drink with felipes dad. felipes dad
also died drunk. kinda sad. and then we taught a less active.
Friday.
it was about 1000 degrees outside
that day. haha and i got sunburtn on my arms face and scalp. (thats a first) we
did the stand thing and found a few people for the zone to teach so hopefully
they are new investigators soon and then we ate completos for lunch and then we
did the stand again and then i had and interview with and investigator for one
of the DL in our zone. that was cool to beacuse he has the same amount of time
as Josh brough does in the mission and has only baptized 2 people so it was
cool to help him baptize someone. the guy that got bpatized had killed someone
as a police officer.... haha he told me the story during hte interview and it
was pretty nuts and sweet.
Sabado.
so we walked around a ton in the
morning and then we almost ate beans again for lunch but a return missionary in
the ward saved us and had his mom cook rice instead. haha so that was awesome.
and then we found a new investigator who believes in God but not Jesus so we
are going to teach her quickly before she dies haha...... and then we taught a
less active guy and he came to church!
Domingo.
Agusto came to church!!1 haha and so
we are going to get him baptized reall soon! haha hopefully he doesnt go to
work in the north!! hah and we had a FHE wiht solange and alex and helped them
with there family history. and solange gave a talk in sacrament meeting and it
was sweet!!!!!! haha its the coolest thing to see poeple progress in the
gospel! haha the gospel is so sweet.
love you all!!!
pray for agusto and felipe and that
we can find a new family of 4 to baptize!
Elder Ethington
