Hello Friends,
HAPPY
MEMORIAL DAY! Wow we are just so blessed to live in this amazing place we
call 'MURICA. Today, the Georgians are firing up their grills and having some
nice "Barbecurrrrr." There's nothing like a patriotic holiday in the
South!
I'm sorry
I don't have much time today, but I'll do my best to share some of the best
experiences we've had this week! Gosh, I just love the South so much.
To start
off the week I went on exchange with a Spanish Elder in his area. I always
love/hate these exchanges because the experiences are always great but God
hasn't given me the gift of tongues yet. So, I literally don't understand
anything that's going on which means my mind just wanders off into no man's land.
The exchange was... interesting. We went to a really humble apartment complex
to pop in on their investigators and let me just say, the place was very, very
run down. We were teaching this lady and a random cat came and sat on her lap
and this cat did NOTTT look muy bueno so I said, “Maám is that your cat?"
and she replied, "No. This is stray. Me don’t know where cat from."
You know how I just adore cats. NOT. So, I’m thinking, “Ahhh LORRRD help us
all. Then the cat tried to come cuddle with me and I was thinking,
“NOOPPPEEEE!” That poor cat probably never felt less loved, but Roddy wasn't
about to let that fly.
We had an
interesting lesson this week with some Jehovah’s Witnesses that we met! One
thing that I respect about them is they are very passionate about what they
believe and do their best to share it with everyone like we do! We usually
don't like to meet with Jehovah’s Witnesses because discussions can get pretty
contentious, but the wife of the couple had just read the entire Book of Mormon
and she had some questions, so we agreed to meet. Our discussion was worth our
time because as we taught them, the husband tried to bring up scriptures and
argue but we finally stopped and said, “Listen We're just going to bare you our
testimony." So, Elder Flake and I started testifying and we looked over at
the wife and she was wiping away tears! She had to hurry and get herself
together so that her husband didn't see, but it was really cool to see how the
Holy Spirit touched her! There is nothing more powerful than a firm testimony
of the gospel!
Everything
else is going great! I love and miss you guys so much!! Thank you for
everything you do to support me.
