a perfect morning, a testimony builder & people pointing fingers‏

Happy Valentine's Day, Elder Goodell!!

This week we had alot of fun on the weekend!  Sunday we taught a friend of the kid that we're working with to go on a mission. So we bore testimony to him and told him our stories of before the mission and it really got to him I think. My companion had been inactive for 5 years before the mission. He told his story of how he never even asked God if he needed to go on a mission. He said that it would be dumb to ask a question if you already know that answer. haha! The mission is an obligation for every young man. If you're in the stage where you've repented and everything seems new in the church, (that was our experience) then it's time to GO! 

 On Friday, I also had an interchange with Elder Cedeño! from Ecuador! It was super sweet, he is really new and so he would go up to people in the street and introduce us as missionaries and then go absolutely quiet!  It was funny, so I did alot, alot of talking that day! We had a perfect morning I think. We went out and gave a ton of books and talked to really good people. It was a testimony builder to me that there really are alot of people just waiting for us. 

 So we're workin as 4 missionaries in one ward! It's crazy, we're finding alot more people because now we can stay and work in smaller areas.  Yesterday we knocked a door and started talking with a woman and I noticed a big group of people coming towards us laughing. So I turned and looked and they were pointing fingers and everything, ha, so we ended the contact and we got a cita with her and then the group approached us.  The woman at the door, it was her friends, and they were like "does your boyfriend know that you're talking to the missionaries?" ha! So someone in the group was like "hey if you wanna talk to me I live on the second floor!" So my comp said "what's your name?" and she told us and we're totally going to pass by this week, so it turned out good. 

I have a companion that's more crazy than I am!!  We have fun! Today imma make horchata and paint my bathroom! dope! and then we have a noche de hogar (family night) with the bishop and imma show um all my picture album..sweet!! 









D&C 81:5-7

 5 Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; ^asuccor the ^bweak, lift up the hands which hang down, and ^cstrengthen the^dfeeble knees.

 6 And if thou art ^afaithful unto the end thou shalt have a ^bcrown of ^cimmortality, and eternal life in the ^dmansions which I have prepared in the house of my Father.

 7 Behold, and lo, these are the words of Alpha and Omega, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
