Sooo....uhhh....i´uhh i think the monotony of the mission may have gotten to
me for a few seconds this week. But i´m also not quite sure creating a bug
spray fire was the best way to forget about it, lol. Actually in all honesty
the whole thing was my comps fault (naturally) Cause it al started when he
found 3 full bottles of the stuff in our house....then things slowly got out
of had until we realize that below in the street everyone had stopped and was
looking up at our house- which just happened to be puring out smoke...oops.
But luckily the only thing that got burned other than the spray was a palm
sized piece of card board. No harm No foul
Everyone else good?
In speaking of burned i got a little sun in the all day VolleyBall
tournament i organized in a 4 zone ´´win it or lose it´´ nMaceió JamFest!?
(yeah how about that for a title) Unfortunately we got a little split as
paint ball fell on the same day and some people are allergic to light rain
showers. But for those that went it was a blast, and me and e Silva are a
solid team. However as great as it was nothing topped off the ending of
Silva going to wash his feet in the sink when all of a sudden the entire
ceramic basin fell throw the counter top as he placed his foot on it...just
his luck. Another missionary came running to the seen going, ´´Typical
E Silva, the only elder in charge of all house and furniture on the mission,
is breaking things!´´
Remember that crazy scrabble phase me and trav went threw right before
i left? Gz Scrabble Worlds Series...who watches that?
In other board game news- Its official- I´m pretty much really good at
War (that's risk in America)
Man, i felt broken this week after placing tile in a members house. But
it was a great time. i truly think service is one of the greatest was to
get to know ppl, which just so happens to be important as a missionary-
especially when you and your comp get in the area together. The entire
project to a while but the end reasult will be great. I think we´re gunna
go back to finish so time this week.
Now, are we ready for 2 crazy tracting stories from this week? The first
came went we went to watch Finding Faith in Christ at a Lady´s house. As
we pulled out the film she goes ´´Ohh i´ve already seen this´´ What? like
as in with other missionaries?
-´´No i rented it at the movie place a few months ago´´ (funny than
this is the fact that you can by a pirated version in the Center if you
want assuming a Free Original copy doesn´t fit your taste)
But nothing shocked me as much as yesterday. In our district this
transfer we´ve been doing this fun thing were all the missionaries go to
won area and basically destroy it and then to they others doing the same.
So yesterday i was in another area with E Farmer (has about the same time
as me and together we D-stroy!) Well as we´re talking to this lady through
her window and realize things are going anywhere he starts to wrap it up
as i unfortunately drift off. There was a nice rainbow going on (i´ve been
getting entirely to much rain). then i figured i should toon back in and
as i did i got immediately distracted again be a map on the lady´s wall.
It was a map of maceió. then i took a closer look and it was really just
a map of all the areas near mine. Then! i took an even closer look and
read the title (which was in ingles) ´´Brasil Maceió Litoral Stake´´ n
Looking down at the corner there was a pass-along card. What? Figure
that out? i tapped elder farmer and was like...Woah check that out....
different. (The lady when asked had no family church members nor friends
that she new of....NOR friends of friends...)
Anyways the moral of the story is that i love talking to everyone i get
the chance to. I also like talking in church, even when i´m asked to talk
1 1/2 minutes before it starts- as was the case this past Sunday. But some
house i still managed to talk long enough that i actually got tapped out.
Wrapping it after having gone threw most of my favorite scriptures and
such i bore my testimony that i know those members who give there all in
missionary work truly will be blessed. After that i had to give my training
in district meeting were i talked about faith. But i decided to take it
from a different side, seeing as how we all know faith. I wanted to truly
show the importance of help others recognize there faith threw ares. As is
written in Romans 10:14-19 truly as missionaries we have a special calling
and a privilege of arousing the spirit and faith of others threw letting
them here the Gospel.
I bear my testimony that filling by such faith will always be living
without regrets.
