Hello friends and family
I feel like I just emailed y'all not too long ago, but that's just fine with me.
A lot can happen in half a week.
Well, I got even more sick. And so did Elder Spataro. And Elder Nielsen. We are all sick. We have plenty of drugs to help us get over it, but it still isn't pleasant. I've been coughing and sneezing all morning, but I think I am getting better. I've been taking night meds that knock me out too, so that's fun. Sleeping is great!
We met this guy Javier who is reading the Book of Mormon and came to church. He was funny because he was so nervous. He was red-faced the whole time and sweating profusely. He seemed to enjoy it... but it was funny. The members noticed too. We ended up referring him to Spanish, so hopefully he doesn't freak out with the Spanish Elders.
My birthday was on Friday by the way. I guess I am 20 years old now. To celebrate my birthday, I bought a pack of bratwursts and I cooked all of them. Just for me (my companions didn't want them, but I probably wasn't going to share anyways). My companions put candles in my bratwursts and sang to me. Well, I had to scrape off the melted wax, but I must say... bratwursts are amazing. Especially when filled with cheddar cheese. Good times... good times indeed.
We also have a Baptism coming up this Saturday. It was another part-member family, but with some unique circumstances. Basically one of the kids in the ward turned 9 and so we got to teach him the Gospel and the commandments so he could be Baptized. Good times. I'll tell you more about it next week.
We also had a pretty awesome experience recently. There is one lady we are working with that lives in a trailer park, and she has been in a tough spot. She is finally away from a pretty bad former life but she has been wanting direction from God. One night, in the dark of her trailer she was praying to God asking him, even pleading, for some guidance. She was literally crying and begging for direction in her life when she heard a knock at her little trailer door. As you probably guessed, it was us. She has been thanking us ever since, because now she knows that God is looking out for her. I'll continue telling you more about this lady another time though... suffice it to say, she is progressing in the Gospel and gaining a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ.
Well, that is all for now. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and that whoever exercise faith unto repentance and follows Jesus Christ will be happy in this life and prepared to meet God in the next.
