Hopefully you all had a great week. This week was kinda strange again, but we got some good success at the end!
Probably the best news of the whole week: WE HAVE NEW BIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best bikes in the entire mission, and they are super nice, with shocks and everything. We have been SO blessed.
Second big news, is that Elder Long got a special transfer, so he left, and it is just Elder Sorenson and I kickin it in Colonia Bombal.
Anyways, got to go to the hospital another two times this week, and one of them was finally for me! It is about time haha.
On Pday, we were playing soccer, and Elder Sorenson and Elder Williams kicked each other, and Elder Sorenson took it pretty bad and messed up his foot, so we sat in the pension for a few hours and went to the hospital on tuesday to get it X-Rayed. Luckily, he is OK.
On Wednesday, we were getting ready to leave, and I decided to pray specifically that we would be able to see a miracle in the day.
Later on, we were riding, and we passed a house that we pass all the time, but I just felt like we should stop. I had a little battle in my head saying that we could pass by the next day or whatnot, but the Spirit finally won and we went over to the house.
Right when we got there, the mom and the kids got home, who are super nice, and explained that they know a member of the church, who they just love! They are christians, and some of them are practicing, but they said we can come back this next week!
This week we also got to teach a less active woman, named Hermana Villegas who has not gone to church in 8 months, and has no way to get to church because she is about 80 and has a hard time moving around. We had a great time reading the scriptures to her, and then we worked with the ward mission leader to get someone to pick her up before church to take her, and she came! Then, during sunday school, they talked about the same chapter in the Book of Mormon that we had been reading with her. The smile and joy on her face were priceless. She then asked us to please keep coming by and to ¨not abandon her.¨ It was a great experience and we were blessed to be a part of it.
On Friday, we had interviews, which were perfect, and I basically got the PERFECT counsel that I could have, and it made me feel so good, and then when we got back to the pension, I was in our garage and I ran into a little rusty pole, which really hurt, and the nurse told me to go to the hospital to get another Tetnus shot. Oh so fun. And then I cut my finger pretty bad the next day. Woo!
Anyways, to finish off the week, we were blessed with 4 awesome new investigators from 2 different families. The Lord really blessed us so much this last week, and we are getting ready for a long, hard, AWESOME, tiring week of work, so we can bring this area back to life after about a month of not being in the area.
Funny:
First off, let me present one of the rules in the missionary manuel:
¨Be aware that you have a responsibility to protect your companion from physical and spiritual danger. If you do not fulfill this responsibility and your companion engages in serious misconduct, you may be subject to Church disiplinary action¨ (Page 32).
Now that we have that established, I'm gonna talk about what happened yesterday.
We were riding to a far area, and we have noticed there is a posse of dogs at one house that HATES us and always comes after us. This time, I came prepared with a handful of good sized rocks. As we passed the house, Elder Sorenson was leading, and the leader dog went after him, and Elder Sorenson was trying to fight him off. I, remembering the above stated rule from the mission manuel, came flying in like a valient knight on my trusty steed, ammo in hand, and oh so skillfully pasted that dog with a rock, forcing a nice squeal from his vocal cords as we made our get away.
But oh, that is not all......we taught our lesson, and then we had to return.
As we came back, I made sure I still had rocks, and I whistled as we rode to make sure the dogs didn't come on us out of no where. As we approached, the posse came out in full force, but this time, a HUGE dog that was not there before led the pack, straight at me. I took my aim, and fired, beaning the dog, and got a pretty good yelp, and made it stumble a little, which allowed me to make my get away. Unfortunately, I was in a low gear, so my feet moved quickly, and my bike not so much....so I popped it into gear and barely got away with the dog right behind me, trying to kill me! Haha
Love you all!
