Cats and Snakes?
I am so happy!!!! So, there’s
that!
Josue was supposed to
get baptized this week. But he drank on Thursday instead of going to his interview. Pray
for the little sweetie.
We found this family
who had been getting taught in Talara (of course!) like years back. And
he was so excited to see us, and he wanted our help. The dad is so
sincere, and really wants help for his kids. Wilfredo is his name, and his
children are Guadalupe, 15, Fatima, 12, Elías, 10, and Benjamín, 8. They
all came to church yesterday. What a huge miracle! The mom is
scisophrinic (spelling in English is hard). So pray for them.
Funny things from this
week:
We were running one
morning, and there is this crazy street-cleaning lady who is just, crazy.
But very friendly. And so she is our friend. So anyway, this
morning, we were running by, and she just yelled, LOOK! at us, and we
stopped and turned, and she held up a dead, petrified cat, and started cracking
up.
Also, we just did a
presentation of the Tree of Life in English for this meeting, and I was one of
the hecklers in the large and spacious building (fitting). So we were
helping the missionaries with phrases to yell to convince them to come over on
our side and leave the iron rod. One of the Elders yelled over and over
again “WE HAVE SNAKES!!!” Priceless.
Also, there’s this
place near Talara that is called Negritos. Hna Harrison asked me, very
sweetly and in all seriousness, if that’s where all the black people live.
I love this area, and
I love my companion. She is the greatest. I love who God has made
me, even though I was difficult. He is so unceasingly good to me.
Challenge this week:
to ask God if He loves you and wait and listen. I do it every day. It’s
the best.
Love you!!!!!
