WHATS UP PEOPLE!
This week was very,
very different haha it’s not so different actually but it kinda was!
Tuesday we went and
met up with our new companions and got everything squared away and headed over
to Indiana! its great here, Clarksville is a little city smushed in between two
other cities, New Albany and Jeffersonville (or Jeff as everyone calls it here).
The City knew it would run out of space eventually so they invested in like
retail shopping centers so basically the city of Clarksville is a huge shopping
center haha we live like the other side of a mall parking lot. We also live
next to the 2nd biggest Bass Pro shop in the states (or so they say haha) but
it really is huge.
So they way they split
it up, we cover the city of Clarksville for the English work which would be a
good sized little bike area, but because I cover Spanish for several counties
we get a car.
Our first day on
Tuesday pretty much the first thing we did was go visit a former Investigator
named Danielle, she is awesome! She was introduced to the church by her
neighbors about three years ago who have since moved, but she is so open to
learn! She is very devote Christian and she is very active in another church,
which is our only hurdle, but she told us that she can feel the spirit more
when she reads the Book of Mormon than when she reads the bible haha so after
walking away from that lesson my eyes were 4 feet wide and i asked him if English
people were always like that haha and right after i said that we talked to a
lady on the street who told us to get the heck out of there haha so i came by
to earth after that.
We also had a funny
experience talking with people on the street, My new companion has a very
different style of missionary work than me and a few times he told me that i
should take it easy or go a little different approach haha but I walk up to
this lady in her car and said "hey we share a message about how Christ put
his church on the earth, then it was lost, than he put it back on the earth
through a prophet, can we share this message with you?" and I could see my
companion like role his eyes like Uhhh this Spanish missionary doesn’t know
what he's doing haha but then the lady just said "yeah, i think i can do
that." haha it was so funny because i sounded like a complete crazy person
and she was open to it haha
But things are going
really great here, the ward is absolutely amazing, we've been fed everyday and
the members are really excited to do missionary work which is great.
Also flash back to my
first transfer in the mission, this picture is of me and 2 sister missionaries
who both went to AF, the one on the right was in my woodshop class junior year
and now she is in my ward here and just had a baby haha crazy! she like moved
back and married a member here and now she’s in my ward haha nuts!
Anyway love you guys a
lot, hope you have a great week!
¡Para siempre Dios
esté con vos!
