This week has been really slow and not much has happened, we had 1 lesson fall through this week after having around 10 appointments. The work here is really really slow and not much is happening but hopefully itll start picking up soon.
Crazy encounter!
My comp got bit by a massive pitbull and he's doing good now but he had to limp around for a day or two. We had knocked at this ladies house for a lesson and someone was coming to the door when this pit bull slowly walked up toward the fence and he looked pretty friendly but as soon as he got to the fence he shot his head through one of the gaps and bit my comp in the knee, i pulled him backwards and away for the dog so the damage wasnt too bad and hes almost back to 100%.
On saturday night after the pitbull incident we went to check on this last lady and see if she would still like to have a lesson. She didnt answer so we walked back to the house feeling pretty defeated because all of our lessons had fallen through all week, but my comp wanted ice cream so we walked to get ice cream and on our way back a guy (named jesus) stopped us and asked if we believed in the bible and we said yes and taught him about the book of mormon. He was really interested and now we have a lesson with him this week, that same night we got a Facebook reference and my comp gave the guy a call(ironically his name was also jesus so we met two Jesus's in the same night) it turns out that he had taken lessons from the missionaries in mexico city but had to leave back to a small town close to san filipe for work. He was getting ready to be baptized when he had to leave so we will pick up where the other missionaries left off and hopefully have a baptism soon!
Nothing else eventful happened this week, mostly just walking and trying to set up appointments and things so i hope that it is way better this coming week haha! Also my spanish is still terrible sooo yeah havent had much success in the language area as of late but its okay itll come eventually haha!
Spiritual thought:
Ive come up with a saying in the last few months that has helped me recently, "i dont believe in coincidences, only miracles" basically what this means to me is that every little coincidence, every little slimmer of hope is a miracle. We are surrounded by miracles every day in our lives and often we just write them off as coincidences. I challenge all of you to look for the miracles in your lives and not just think of them as coincidence, or events happening by chance. Theyre miracles and we need to always look for them in our lives because they are there!
Love you all hope you have a great week and please send me an email! It makes my day to hear from all of you!! Also to all of the ute fans, 5-2 isnt bad, but
