Qué onda dudes! Slow and hot week with some interesting stuff. But the best part was remaking one of my tiktoks with a family and it was so terribly made but at the same time my favorite thing ever haha. The work was real slow this week because every lesson fell, literally it was bad. But I learned lots of stuff from it so let me tell ya.
So last week we killed it with numbers, found a lot of people and put a lot on date. Maybe I got too cocky but this week was rough. We still managed to find 5 people which isn't terrible, definitely better than 0 so I should be grateful. We had so many appointments set up and when it was a phone call they didn't answer and when it was in person they weren't home. BUT I still managed to learn some stuff.
First lesson learned, don't be discouraged when something doesn't go right. This week I read a little bit about Alma getting roasted by the people of Ammonihah and he left the city pretty depressed but then the angel pulled up and told him he needed to go back. Sure enough he did and found Amulek. Similar thing happened with us. On Monday night we went to a lesson and the people said "don't come back here we don't want to learn" and so I left pretty bummed but then we met a sick family and they invited us in and we talked about the Book of Mormon. We found them because they shouted "hello brother how are you?" And I always use English as an opportunity to contact someone. Well it worked and we set up an appointment with them.
We pulled up to the appointment the next day and homie weren't there, so we left to the next one and luckily found one of the kids in the street with 3 of his friends and he hyped us up saying how cool our "Mormon Book" was. Well we set up the appointment for another day and that fell as well.
The other lesson I learned was to never take the First Vision for granted. We taught a lady who was baptized a few years ago but honestly she doesn't remember anything that was taught. It was so fun to visit her because she's just this nice old lady who loves the bible. Anyways, we taught the restoration to her and when we explained the First Vision she said "that is an incredible experience! How did a 14 year old boy have that much faith? We are so blessed to have him in our life!" I was like you tell them Yolanda, she was spitting straight facts! Man am I so grateful for that experience in my life!
Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ. He translated the Book of Mormon. It is so true. I love this gospel it's the best!
Love you all!
