A new year is always a fun thing. Especially in this country. We were told to be in the house at 8pm on Saturday night and last night for safety reasons. So we did as we were told and got home around 8. The night was pretty normal and I went off to bed around 9:30 which was nice. I drink a lot of water so I often wake up in the middle of the night having to pee like a race horse. (which by the way if you've seen it..WOW) The time I woke was 5:21 AM, and there were still people outside blasting their music and drinking. They must have had a great day yesterday lol.
As for the work this week, it was pretty slow. We were asked to do service on Saturday and after waiting for 2 hours she told us that she didn't need us anymore. So that was super not awesome. We found some people this week that seem like they have potential. One of them is named Milagros which means Miracle in Spanish which is kinda lit, but she didn't come to church cause she told us she already has one. We are gonna work on that with her.
Maria is still a golden investigator. Her baptism is this Saturday so we are praying everything goes smoothly. One funny thing from her this week was we asked her what the "Word of Wisdom" is, her response "That's easy, reading the scriptures" I can see why she was confused. But don't worry she now knows what it actually is.
We had a member meal last night and it was pretty fun. The member asked us "What more do you guys know about the pre earth life cause I'm very curious." I don't think she liked my response but what I told her was a lot of people are inactive in the church because they want answers to questions that we just don't need to know. She later said how she watched a movie about it and thought it was weird. I then asked if the movie was made by the church. She said no. So then I said something that my Dad taught me. If we have a question to something we are gonna find it through 3 things. The Scriptures, Prayer, and the Prophet and Apostles. Kinda a fun convo haha.
I hope you all had a great holiday season! I love you and miss you all every single day. Remember to read the Book of Mormon.
