In other words...... Im just going to start telling stories and see where this leads.
First
off. Last Monday after a leaders meeting (my comp is district leader),
we were walking away from the stake center down a way we dont normally
head when this lady ran out of nowhere and Shouted ELDERS!!!!! She ran
over to us and began explaining how her husband and son were sick and
needed blessings. We brought her back to the church where all the other
elders were (she didnt live in our area and we wanted her to meet her
elders). As it turns out, she had just moved to the area with her
family. they didnt know how to find the church here or the missionaries
and had been looking and praying for both for over a week. Seeing us
walking down the street was an answer to her prayers. That was a really
cool experience. Especially having 4 elders give a blessing (her husband
was with her). First Miracle of the week
Another Miracle: We
were late getting out of a lesson with Gabriela (an investigator). We
quickly ran over to the bus stop across the street (our house was a half
hour away and it was 9:15)
This was a bus stop we had never used before (oh, all of uruguay runs on buses, everyone uses them) and we didnt know what time the next pone
would pass. We said a prayer that it would come soon so that we could be
home in time. The bus should up at 9:23. We entered our house at exactly 9:30.
Friday!!!!
This day was one of the best of my mission. We had a Zone conference
down in Montevideo. What did this mean? Well first off, I was able to
have a one on one interview with President Cook. Who pretty much is one
of the wisest man I know. That was really cool. After that we were able
to watch the rest of Meet the Mormons!!!!:D and to top it off, We each
had the opportunity to take a name all the way through the temple (minus
sealings). That was super spiritual I was able to give 3 of my name to
other Elders. As such, we were able to do 4 complete names. I love the
Temple. All of you that live close, go. It will bring you so much peace
and happiness. More than anything else you can be doing right now. El
Polvo del mundo descansa en el templo.
Last thing about Friday
that was really cool. That night we got out of a charla with Gabriela
(this time earlier:)) and headed over to the bus stop. As we were
waiting for the bus, we started talking with a lady there just about
trivial things (I think we were talking about the weird frogs they have
here that sound like cats.......). anyways, as we were talking another
lady showed up and joined into our conversation. After a bit, she looked
at us and told us that flat out she was evangelican, but that she
thought that what we do is the best thing in the world. Not only this,
but her entire family fasts and prays that we will have success in
spreading the word of christ. That completely took elder Cervantes and I
by surprise, and left us in awe. That was cool too.
Ummmmm.... Oh ya, the Chucura lady. Saturday
night we were walking home (once again, a different way that I had
never taken before) when we passes a house that said milagros (houses
here dont really have numbers most of the time. People like to put signs
outside that have words instead). After we had passes it, I stopped,
thought for a sec, and turned around. Upon returning to the house, we
clapped and began talking to a middle age woman. After a while of
talking, she invited us inside (her husband was in the other room). As
it turns out, she's an instructor of yoga, so we ended up sitting cross-legged on mats. We talked for a while and had a super spiritual
charla where she told us her life story and how this member who lived
across the street had always helped her through all her struggles (her
life was pretty rough at times). After a long time of talking and
teaching, she made the comment that everyone you meet is for a reason,
and that she thinks thats why we were there. Man it was a really cool
charla. After we had finished teaching (looking back, I dont remember
how we got on the topic), she began telling us some of the tings she
teaches her students. I dont know if this is part of yoga (i dont
believe so), but she also teaches some methods of relaxing that come
from india and deal with universal energy. Yes, she taught us the 7
chucuras of the body (yes, the same as in Avatar the Last Airbender
Episode: Crossroads of destiny (i think)). Apparently that actually a
real thing. It was really cool. And she taught us how to relax through
breathing techniques. We left there feeling super tranquilo. Haha, Im
excited to go back and teach her.
Ummm, I also have a miracle
of Gabriela coming to church, but I think this is enough for today.
Hope yall have a great week. Love you tons!!!!! Write ME:D
