Tuesday we had a soccer activity in the morning because July 9th is their independence day here and nobody had school! And then there was also a ward activity at night that we went to as well. We ate some good food and played soccer with the Youth. One of the youth brought his friend “Nacho” who we are gonna start teaching today! We actually invited them to our p-day later to play some more soccer and then we are gonna have a lesson in the church with him. It should be awesome!
We had like 3 different miracles this week of people coming up to us and asking if we can pass by their house. It was so awesome! 1 of them was a 19 year old kid named MartÃn that knew missionaries a while back and practiced english with them. So we went to his house to practice english and shared a lesson with him. We explained that every time we go over we are gonna practice english and then share a spiritual thought or lesson and he was super cool with it. I think he will get baptized here in a few weeks! And then that same thing happened with 2 other people but we haven't had the first lesson with them yet. But this week we are gonna have them so i'm really excited!
I'm finishing up the Book of Mormon for the 5th time in my mission! I just started Moroni. And I want to testify that IT IS TRUE!! I have never felt so much peace and happiness as I do when I read that book. I love it! I know that it can help us learn more and come closer to Christ than any other book. If you haven't read it, DO IT! Read it everyday and your life will be so much easier. It's literally the armor of God.
I can't and don't want to believe that I only have a couple more weeks left in the mission.. It's been such an amazing experience to come and preach the gospel to everyone! I have learned so much and I'm so grateful for all the amazing people I've met here! Im looking forward to making these next 2 weeks some of the best and most memorable!!
Love you all! Read your Scriptures and say your prayers!! Have a great week!
Funny Story:
That Tuesday morning soccer activity that I said we set up in the morning was more than just an activity… we invited like 6 kids to play soccer and we said invite your friends to come play too! Turns out the word spreads quick (everyone loves using the churches soccer cement court) because like 45 or 50 kids showed up… and we had a full on tournament it was crazyyyy! I was like a flyer party that gets out of control haha We couldn't believe it. We showed up at like 10:30 and there was like 20 kids there and they just kept coming. We invited them to church and got a few of their addresses and stuff so it was good!
