Hello everybody! And welcome back to the spectacular reading of
other Snell's letters!! Today we are going to learn many great things!
Let us begin.
So this week who is super awesome! We had a lot of success and a
lot of trying times. I think that everyone just decided that Friday
was going to be yellow the missionaries day! We didn't really approve
of that that happened anyway. We had so many people yell out of their
cars at us. Many things that were yelled were the nicest things to say
to even regular people. I don't know what we did, but maybe I had a
"yell at me if you think I am awesome" tag on my back, so a lot of
people must think I am really awesome. At least eight or nine people
yelled at us from the cars, and then to end it all, someone at the
doorstep yelled some pretty colorful language us! All we were doing
was checking to see if they were still interested in learning about
the gospel. We took that as a no. He almost sic'd his dog on us! The
poor guy was probably having a rough day. We were sure to include him
in our evening prayers.
So, on Tuesday, we found somebody new to teach! His name is
Hector. He is from Guatemala and has lived in the states for about 43
years. He was referred to us by a member in the Manassas 1st Ward. The
zone leaders called us and told us to get over to the library ASAP for
a lesson with Hector. We sat next to him on the bench at the library
and we talk to him about the gospel! He absolutely loved it! He speaks
pretty good English, but we still had a Spanish translator just in
case. Ha ha. Just a side note, Elder Kings bike was taken away by the
office because he had a loaner bike. So, that leaves us without a
bike. We are now back on foot! Ever since that lesson with Hector, he
has called us every morning, asked us excellent questions, and has
come to church! He absolutely loved it! Thanks to our awesome ward
members, he has tons of friends now. He agreed to be baptized and has
a scheduled date for August 8th! We are so stoked for him!
We had an awesome lesson with all of the prospective 8 year olds
who are going to be baptized soon. We were asked to come and teach
them and their families about baptism. I ought we would be really cool
and do the Soap and Pepper object lesson. This is when you dump pepper
in a bowl of water and you use soap to clear the pepper out of the
middle of the bowl. Turns out, you need the right kind of soap in
order for it to work. So, when we did it he kids became super excited
to see it and when we tried, nothing happened..... "Try using more
soap," one of the adults said. I took the soap bottle and dumped soap
in the middle and it still didn't work. Epic failure.... Elder King,
being the funny guy he is, quickly added. "They had the wrong
authority." *facepalm* Good one... Haha! I will include a picture of
what the object lesson looked like. It was a great humbling
experience.
Well, that's all folks! Thanks for tuning in! Just a heads up, I
will be switching my preparation day next week to Tuesday due to a
zone service project we will be doing. So, I will catch you on
Tuesday! Love you all! Have an epic week!
