YES just scored a 15 minute extension on the library computer sweet! I
hope I can use it well. Anyways, it is now Tuesday, and I am emailing.
As you can probably guess, the library was closed yesterday on account
of Labor Day, the most fictional holiday of all time. I don't
understand it. Anyways, last night was crazy. I had a big time Holy
Ghost protection moment. Last night, I was totally knocked out, just
sleeping away, when all of the sudden my eyes just popped open and I
had the strangest impression to walk into the kitchen. I did and I
walked in to see that Elder Walker had left the oven on at 350 and it
was still going hard at 2:30 AM. So I shut that thing off real fast. I
don't know if its super dangerous to leave the oven on all night, but
I know that its probably not a good thing, so I was glad that I had
that weird impression. Kind of an interesting experience at the least.
Well this last week was pretty OK. We slogged our way to 20 lessons
on the week. I don't know how, because we were constantly feeling
super tired and hot. We are going to try a new strategy. Instead of
riding all over the town and getting sweaty, tired and disgusting, we
are just going to put all our eggs in our progressing investigator's
basket. Juan is the man. He is so funny. He is super old and is always
interrupting our lessons just to tell us a story about the time he got
ran over by a bus or something like that ha ha so weird. But he
understands everything and really wants to give us a fair look. He
came to church with us on Sunday and he was just the absolute star of
our Sunday school class. He was telling stories, cracking jokes,
standing up, providing visual aids with the use of hand motions, the
works. It was a riot. He really enjoyed himself (obviously) and I
think he might just get baptized in a couple of weeks. Maybe even this
week, who knows? That would be crazy. I hope it all works out. But
anyways, time is almost up. That's pretty much it for me this week. I
love you all have a great week!
