This week was flipping crazy! I got my new comp Elder Pelsue
coming from Colorado but originally from Mesa, AZ. Also I don't have my
Koreans in my district anymore which I'm not very happy about that but
my new district is cool. I feel like I'm a relief society teacher now. I
have 4 sisters and 2 elders! But I made it fun we played some
basketball game I made up and I was just teasing everybody on there
shooting it was fun. Thursday was pretty crazy. It was our walking day
and since there is so much snow the side walks are covered. So we walked
over to a less active named Sandy who owns the deli and we have to walk
up a main highway to get there. And we had to walk in the road cause we
didn't have side walks it was pretty sketchy. We would run down the
high way then jump into a drive way and let cars fly by. Friday was
pretty boring nothing to big. But Saturday was way cool. We had
breakfast at our ward mission leaders place. Then after we took our
piece of a Toyota into STS for a oil change and while we were there me and Pelsue
were zoned in on sports magazines and a guy walked in and started
talking to us, he went to Utah for school and he was nice but not a huge
fan of religion. So after he left there was a lady sitting next to him
while we were talking and she started asked us what we did again. So we
talked to her about what we do and she asked if it was hard being away
from our families and we said ohh ya but
its worth it by helping other people. Then it got intense she opened up
big time and started talking how she has been going through hard times
lately. She just got a divorce and lost her brother 4 months ago and she
started to cry. So I went over and sat by her and we started teaching
her about the Book of Mormon and the plan of salvation and every time me
or elder Pelsue would testify to her she
would start crying harder. ha She put her sunglasses on cause she
didn't want anyone to see but it was way cool. We gave her a Book of
Mormon and our number and when we were leaving she gave us a big hug and
said I knew there was something special about you guys.ha I mean ya
were good looking and stuff but we got that Jesus light to us haha.
It was really cool though makes it easier to stay out cause sometimes
you feel like no ones is listening to you anymore. But after that we
went over and taught our investigator Babby and her fam with a member, Then we went over to a less actives house for lunch. She made us a huge bowl of safichay, which is a Spanish dish. It's like salsa with shrimp in it, and she said we couldn't leave till it was gone so me and Pelsue
hammered down 4 bowls of it. I was soo full, Then I played a game of
chess with her husband who isn't a member and he destroyed me! Then we
went right over to another members house and had dinner, I was gonna
throw the flip up!! But I didn't so no worries. And yesterday Greg the
guy I played chess with came to church so that was good. But that was my
week peeps!
love Trevor
