Hello Everyone,
This week was.....not as good as the last. We talked to a lot of people but all of our appointments fell through and just a lot of things didn't really "work out" this week. We go out and do work but unfortunately numbers didn't show it this week. We taught a couple lessons but nothing out of the ordinary. I can't believe we are already entering week 5 of this transfer. Time flies when....you're doing the work of the Lord.
I finally acquired something to do exercise with other than pushups and situps. We were teaching one of our investigators who lives with a member and had lunch after. We walked out to the backyard (which was just riddled with all kinds of junk), and I saw a set of 60lb dumbbells on the ground. I asked the Hermano if he was using them, he said no, and he gave them to me. Exercise with dumbbells is limited, but I try to get creative.
Yesterday, for the first time in my mission, did I mix up two Spanish words ending up saying a curse word. Rats. We were visiting a less active, who has a couple of dogs and I was petting one of them and I noticed that the tail had a little nick in it. So I asked, "Como se quebro el culo?" The Spanish word for tail is cola.....not culo. Culo is a word that may or may not mean the vulgar way of saying rump....it was embarrassing but my companion (the native Spanish speaker), and the member laughed ridiculously...I guess it's kinda funny.
I love this work and I know this gospel is the TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. We were listening to a talk from Hyrum W. Smith who defined a couple words. The definition of humility is the realization of our dependance on God. I liked that a lot. It is so true how little we are and how God uses us as instruments.
