What a week it has been super-fast! I feel
like we just talked yesterday! I guess that’s a good thing, right? everything
here is going really well! we’re learning more and more every day! I’ve been
trying to talk totally in Spanish every day! which is hard because I live in a
house with a bunch of white people. so, I do really well during the day but at
night it’s like we threw the baby out with the bath water. ha-ha! does anyone
my age actually use that saying?
this last fast Sunday as a mission
we fasted to be consecrated in the work of the lord. it was really powerful and
I think that a lot of good will come from it.
So, about the title of this email, we were
looking for this man, we had his address so we go to his house and we knock on
his door and no one’s there. so, we walk away and this guy happened to be
walking by the house and he kind of hesitates and I asked him if he was Orlando.
he said no, then he walked a bit out of the view of the house and like motioned
for us to come talk to him. so, we go over there and he whispers to us " i
am Orlando Castillo he started telling us that he couldn’t meet in front of his
house because the other people that live there are some other religion and they’re
crazy or something. but then he said, " you are Testigos are you"? (Jehovah
Witness´) and we told him no. and he started going off about how this guy that
was a Testigo started taking his wife to church and now his wife lives with
this Testigo guy and he was just going off and quite frankly i found out a
little too much of this guy’s life. well we gave him a little card with times
of our church meetings on it and he asked " okay, is there a secret entrance
to the building, and do I need to show this card to someone"? I held back
my laughter and just told him to walk through the front door and not to worry
about the card. it’s funny what some people think our church building is. we
had one lady tell us that our church was owned by the CIA. and they’re trying
the get information on the world. and we had another lady tell us that she
heard we get paid for every baptism we have! ha-ha, we get a lot of weird
thing! but all and all its really fun!
these pics are from
today! we went bowling and then I attempted to walk on my hands, I was about as
good as I am walking on my feet (not too good) lo! love you guys have a great
week!
