| Plan of Salvation lesson we drew on a wall |
So this week me and my companions decided that we are going to
get huge so we contacted a guy in our ward, Hermano Colon, because he is ripped
and in the army. So in the end he wrote
us a body weight work out and he gave us his old Boflex. And since my comp is an assistant, we got
keys to an extra apartment and we put the Boflex in it. He also has a speed bike that he is going to
give us after he fixes it. So we will be
getting huge!
And we taught Amairani the plan of salvation in depth and drew
it on her wall cuz she is about to repaint anyways. She wanted to know everything about the
"three worlds" so we taught it super detailed. Then the next morning, she found out her
friend in Argentina died of bone cancer. She was super sad, but it was cool how we
focused on death and the life hereafter right before she actually needed it!
And I don’t know if I have told you about the Sierra
family. They are from Honduras and are a
family of 8. We went to surprise them at
the Buddhist temple. Well its super hard
for them to have time for lessons so all we do is serve them cuz they are super
ready for the gospel. Like in between conference
we mowed their lawn. But this week, we
went and pulled out a bush she wanted removed. No one was home but the dad left some tools
out so we just started. Within 10 minutes,
we broke his hedge clippers so we went to Home Depot and bought new ones. Then we finished the job and used a shovel to
get the roots out but we realized his old clippers were a lot more sophisticated
then our new ones so we went back to Home Depot and returned the old ones to
get newer nice ones. Then we came back to their house and left him the new
super nice ones. So the whole deal took
about two hours, haha!. But we did have
some great contacts at Home Depot with the worker and the cashier. And the family liked that the bush was gone
and the new clippers so now we just have to get them to church so they know
what they are missing.
And do you know how everything is bigger in Texas? Well the allergies here are killer! You walk around and the cars and the ground
is just covered in yellow pollen. I’ve never
really had allergies but I’m dying! My
nose is always running, I sneeze like 80 times a day, my eyes half the time are
just blood shot! It’s crazy but I guess
all the missionaries get it their first time cuz no one is used to it. And then I got a gnarly cough so my voice has
been so classic for the past week! It’s
deep and raspy and it cracks all the time. It’s so funny.
And I’ve gotten super into listening to old talks like
conferences, firesides, and BYU devotionals.
My comp has an iPod full of them so I listen to them in the
morning. I would suggest you try them
for your drives cuz I know you like your podcasts. You can download them off lds.org I think.
Also, I would recommend the song “Come Unto Christ” from lds.org cuz we
listen to it on repeat and me and my Samoan are making a missionary version of
the song so maybe next week you will get some lyrics.
Loves,
Elder Lund
