Stories!
We were walking down the street and two poliece stopped us and we knew one of them from before so we started to chat and it came up that i have a girl friend and so they started asking questions about that. we were able to talk a little about our beliefs about not having sexual realtions before marriage. they started say that was so bad. they said we could get hit by a car and die that day and not have lived anything. but we were able to testify about the after life and how if we dont obey here we will suffer there! it was very spirtual and turned out to be great!! they then recieved a call about a calling and had to go!
We were teaching our recent convert matias about temples and my comp with his limited spanish tryed to explain that we get baptised in behalf of the dead and matias said ok but i dont want to die yet. haha very funny! a little bit of a misunderstanding!! after the lesson he expressed his feelings toward us of gratitude. he is so so so so so so shy... but the gosple is changing him!! he said that he is so much happier now!!
Last night we had dinner i the house of a very humble family. They made burgers for us!! they are so awesome!! people like them have changed me!! The walls in their house are ply wood nailed together in a random pattern to make it fit. the floor is dirt. they have one hall way and one room. and an out house. in the hall way is the kitchen. the four of them 2 daughter sleep on two beds!! and yet they give to us all that they can!! with a good attitude!! How christ like! what an example!!
