Hello Friends and Family
Well transfers happened. Me and my companion got thrown a curve ball, but an exciting one. We are staying together in the same area, but we are getting a third companion... and we are both training him. So, Elder Spataro and I are trainers now. This will be interesting for sure, especially since I have never trained before...
We had a lot of funny things happen this week. We were tracting way passed what most people would consider polite, and we knocked on a man's door. He stepped out onto the balcony, and with the utmost urgency and disdain I think I have ever heard in my life, the man let forth a river of profanity in which I will never forget. Please allow me to quote him... "This is terrible. This is very bad. I can't believe you would do this. Shoo! Go away!"
I made sure not to add exclamation points at the end of the other sentences because it was so... flat. It was super hilarious, and I had a very hard time not laughing at this guy while he was telling us to leave. But... in such a... lame way. It was pretty funny, so now Elder Spataro and I will sometimes look at each other and say "This is very bad. This Is terrible. I can't believe you would do this."
We had a lot of good first lessons this week with some cool people. It's been fun!
We got a ride from one of our district councils from the Assistants to the President. That was fun. Especially since they both are only a month or two older than I am, mission timewise. It's weird to be considered older in the mission. I don't recognize the mission anymore though. All these new faces keep coming in!
It's also finally cooling down. We are in the late 50s to late 60s as far as temperature goes. So... I broke out my sweater. Biking downhill with a cold front blowing in the opposite direction can be... chilling. I think the summer made me less... acclimated to the cold. I can only imagine what Idaho feels like right now.
Here is a scripture:
Mosiah 16
7 And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no resurrection.
8 But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.
9 He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death
I read that recently, and it is true and good. Jesus Christ is the light, and the Truth of His life and Work will never be darkened.
That will be all for now. Talk to y'all later!!!
