If you could hie to varela in the twinkling of my comps eye

Its like a [bitter sweet] symphony, just keep listening. and pretty soon youll start, to figure out [that Im staying here in varela and gaining a new comp named Elder Choki? from peru that has one change more than me in the mission and that Ill meet him tomorrow and that elder sims is heading to morones and leaving me here.  sad day!!!! Im going to freakin miss that guy, but its okay, because we've already planned the Lord of the rings marathon and disney classics that I havent seen (such as the lion king) for marathon after the mission. Im super stoked to meet Elder Choki though.]

Im pretty sure thats how that song at the end of meet the mormons goes. Speaking of meet the mormons!!!!!! HOLY COW HAVE YALL SEEN THAT MOVIE!!!!!!! ITS SUPER FANTASTIC AND AMAZING AND FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Just saying, thats a super spiritual movie that you should share with others. It Is an amazing missionary tool. We're going to try in the coming weeks to have all the young single adults from our stake come to Varela, go out into the streets and just invite everyone to a fireside at the church and just show that movie. Im super stoked for that!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

 

Anyway, this week we had a few really cool moments. Haha one of which being that we were just walking in the streets, heading over to an investigators house monday night when this 16 year old kid ran up to us, started walking with us and just asking profound questions about repentance and doctrine. We answered his questions and he told us that he already has a book of mormon "with the prophets Alma and Nephi" and knows that it is true. He then asked us if we could teach him...... Yeah lets just say that Elder Sims and I were both like "TENDER MERCIES/MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!!":D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D after Paulo (the kid) left. He's super cool we've had a charla with him and have another tonight, in the last one, he asked some super interesting deep question, it was a fun charla explaining some things I never had to explain before. Oh ya, haha one of the other super cool parts of the contact was when we asked when we could teach him. After deciding on Wednesday at 8, he told us. yeah, that would be great. Every wednesday at 8. We were floored when he told us that. The only problem is that his parents hate us (I dont know why people do that), and dont want him to progress. In other words, we'll keep teaching him, once a week and try to talk to his parents, but if that doesnt work out, he'll get baptised and begin progressing in a year and a half.

 

Also super cool was this reference from a member we contacted. Her name is dorotea and is just a super nice old lady. she's kind of lonely and we quickly decided to try and get all the members involved in teaching her. For we did contact her on friday, but when saturday came upon us, she did not appear. The following day however told a differing tale. The hours of church had come to a close and the branch was about to head out, when Dorotea showed up at the entrance to the chapel. upon seeing her, We ran to greet her and see how she was doing. We talked a bit and she apologized for being absent the day prior. In a moment, Hermana Brenda was there at the door greeting her with a "hey, I know you!" For it came to pass that they had been friends for years, but had just failed to see each other. Then Norma came around the corner and there was another "Hey, I know you too." For it came to pass that they too had been friends for years. Dorotea ended up knowing many of the strongest members of the branch. Sooooooo great. We passed by that day and introduced her to one more (Javier), and have since taught her twice with Javier. Its been so cool!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
