This week has
been pretty normal. We are having a baptism this friday with our
investigator and her daughter. I am super stoked for that! And we have
a new family that is amazing and so ready. This was basically my
highlight of the week, meeting with this family. And here is the story.
So we were contacting the week before and knocked on this
door, and a woman answered and invited us in. That alone was awesome!
That never happens. So we taught her and went back and taught her and
her husband Tuesday, almost a week ago. We taught them and the husband
was way receptive. He had a brother that had a book of mormon and his
brother was reading it, but he passed away I don't know how long ago. So
the husband said that he would go look for the book so that he could
read it. Then the wife told us, the woman that we talked to the first
day, that she had had a dream 2 days before we knocked on her door. She
said that in her dream, her husband's dead brother had appeared to her
and told her that everything was alright and that things would all be
good. She also said that she saw 2 men in white come to her. That was
her dream. When I heard that, wow. It was awesome. And she read the
Introduction, the testimonies and the first 13 chapters of the BOM in 5
days. She said that she reads every morning. I was blown away. It was
amazing :) And that is my awesome experience of the week :)
It has been normal this week. To answer questions
about our P-days, it just depends on the week. We have activities as a
zone where we play games and sports and stuff like that. Then sometimes
we go to the offices which is like an hour away by bus to pick up mail
(when we have it) and to get more supplies like BOM's and cards or what
not, the pamphlets and stuff. And yeah, we haven't gone site seeing or
anything yet, but I think in 2 weeks we will. Either the Mitad del
Mundo or Teleferico. We don't know yet.
For my health, all is well. I am healthy and yes, I
am sure my leg muscles are stronger. The only thing I have right now is a
gnarly infection in my arm from a cut or something. I don't even know.
hah I just kept picking the scab. But don't worry. Our investigator with
a baptism this friday is a nurse and she looked at it last night and
cleaned it. She said the same thing you would say mom. She asked me,
why didn't you tell me this when it was small? haha But she cleaned it
good and I talked to the mission nurse today at the offices and she
gave me antibiotic and stuff. So yeah, that should get better, if not, I
might lose a lot of weight , like however much an arm weighs haha. But
there is a pic of my arm.
A question. You know the mini BOM's in english? Are there minis in spanish? And how is the ward doing and all that?
And I read DyC 35 this week and love it. I love the promise at the end from verses 24 to the end. How awesome is that!!
I love you all and miss you!
Love,
Elder Parker
