"I Am God"

 Ok this week took forever but at least its p day now so that's good. This week we had a zone wide blitz in san felipe (my area) with 20 missionaries down here all just contacting and teaching the whole day. It was so awesome! Towards the end of the day we were knocking a few doors of people in teaching and somehow there was a mix up and 5 elders ended up in this one guys house.(i have no idea how 5 of us ended up there) we started teaching about baptism and this man started asking questions about the plan of salvation so we changed topics and started talking about the plan of salvation and the importance of agency, the spirit was strong and it was a really good lesson and as we finished and started to leave the man turns to us and said "i am god" we started laughing a little bit but this man was completely serious. We asked him if he was joking but he said no i am god again and we asked him why do you think that and he said because i am all powerful and a perfect person and created the world. We left and wondered what on earth this guy was on because i need what he's taking haha. Anyways theres 2 hours of my life im never going to get back😂

This week was pretty boring other thank the blitz, just same old contacting getting rejected and having no one show up to church. My spanish still has a long way to go but its coming along 😅(kinda) i ate way too many eggs and chicken this week so hopefully when i get back home i wont look like a stick(probably wont happen haha) ive been learning the guitar and im horrendous at it haha but we will get there eventually! If you have any tips or things that could help me learn spanish or the guitar haha those would be appreciated! 

Spiritual thought:

"The other prodigal" president holland,

This talk is amazing and you guys should all give it a read! This talks about the parable of the prodigal son, only from the perspective of the brother! This talk is an amazing reminder about how blessed we are by being in the church and just because someone else is blessed, doesn't mean that our blessings are any less significant! This gospel is amazing and i invite you all to not take it for granted because the suffering that comes from not feeling gods love is worse that you can ever imagine!

Love you all hope you guys have a great week! If you guys have time an email would make my day! Even if i cant respond to all of them i read them all and they're amazing!
