Week 58 --- Miracles . . . kinda


SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would not believe the week we just had! Well actually you might. We found 10 new investigators, and set 4 new baptismal dates. So obviously I need to explain the title of this email. asi que the other day we met this guy Osario. and well he invited us in, and we had a little chat with him and his wife. So they are an elderly couple and they were super nice and funny, and then he started to tell us about what he does for a living. So he told us about this dude from Egypt, and that he had a book... a special book. This book contains sacred secrets concerning the healing of men, and our boy Osario said he ran into this guy from Egypt, and the man gave him the book, and now my boy Osario is known worldwide for healing people, from twisted ankles to blind or deaf people. He told us that to heal one must breathe in for as long as you can. The man from Egypt said if you can breathe in for 8 whole seconds that is where the real power comes, sadly our friend Osario in his old age, can only reach 7 seconds. He has people coming from Chile, Canada, and Spain to be healed. Obviously I´m a little skeptic about that but it was an interesting conversation.

Also recently we have found some of the nicest investigadores, I´m gonna talk about a family, and then this other lady. So we start with the Diaz family. So we met them 2 weeks ago, and they invited us to come back another day because they were busy, so we went back a few days later, and they are the sickest family. We went to teach them last night, and they had bought a bunch a food for us, we got there and the mom was already preparing something to drink for us. It was sick. Then we taught the restoration to the family, and it was awesome. They understood it sooooooo well. The lesson was soo good that even the son who was pretty much atheist told us that even he wanted to learn more, and he accepted a baptismal date. The spirit was so powerful with his family. They are seriously sooo cool. The other lady her name is Lorena. The first time we met her she rejected us like bad, but we left her a pamphlet about the plan of salvation, and we were bold and said we are gonna come back, and when we went back she had changed completely. She came out to greet us with a huge smile on her face, and had read the whole pamphlet, and had questions and comments written all over the pamphlet, and we had a very good discussion. Then she just started chatting with us, like asking about our lives, and the mission, and all that good stuff, and know we are like best friends, so she lives really close to us, and yesterday she sent us a text asking if we were home because she wanted to bring over some leftover food from her kid´s birthday saturday, so she came over with a LOT  of food, and I included a picture of all the food she gave us. She also asked for our facebooks because she didn´t wanna lose contact with us, because she said our discussions have helped her a lot.

We also got to do some service the other day, we built a roof, it was sick, and it was raining, and I got electrocuted plugging in the cement mixer, ya know cuz it was raining and all, and me and Elder Ransil were playing catch with bricks on the roof, it was pretty swell.​​

Also the look on the door to our apartment broke, and so we were locked inside, and we had to leave for an appointment, and soo we thought maybe it would work from the outside, so we decided we should get to the front door, but we are on the second floor, sooo it was a little tricky, I had to climb over a little railing, and walk along the window frames and jump to the stairs that lead to our front door, I sent a pic of the area where it happened, but it didn't work from the outside, soooo I said a little prayer outside, and then we both remembered about another door in the pension with a key that looked similar sooo we thought we would try that, and it worked, which was weird because it wasn't the same key, but now it´s quite the challenge to leave and enter our apartment every day.

Well that´s all I got to share today so I will talk to y'all next week bye!
