Villahermosa: Week 53

17 de novembre, 2014

My foot is fine. Don't worry. It just got super swollen and bruised so we went to the doctor and I just bruised it super bad. So he told me to take a day of rest and to take it easy. So I tried to. It is just not easy to stay in the house all day long. I cannot do it. So when we went to lunch, I told my comp that we could start working from there because I could not put up with being in the house all day. So when we left the food appointment, I stepped to go down a little set of stairs. I put pressure on my foot and it just doubled. And i fell. My companion just laughed and helped me get back to the house.... I took that as a sign that the doctor was inspired...

So anyway we had a lot of great experiences this week. One was when we visited Alfonso and María and they told us to go and visit Alfonso's sister. She is a 60 year old woman. Very nice and she looks just like Alfonso. Right off the bat, she told us she was not interested. But we kept on talking and she opened up a little bit. She talked a lot about Alfonso and how much he has changed. She told us a lot of very ugly stories about his past and how he is trying to fix his relationships with people. She actually started crying. It was very touching and it made me feel so good inside. That man has really changed a lot. He lived with another woman before and has 5 other kids with her, including a grandkid. He left them when they were just kids and it was just a bad situation. But he is fixing things now. That is why this gospel is so great. It changes lives. It makes people Want to be better. It puts righteous desires in our hearts. It gives us the guide of the Holy Ghost. It is just so great.

So yesterday, we went and visited Alfonso y María again and they had a question for us when we walked in the door. They asked if we believed in black magic and witchcraft. We were like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Why? So he explained that the house that they live in now(which is super creepy. It is like a house from a horror movie.) was abandoned for 4 years before they had moved in. And the people that lived there were super weird and practiced witchcraft and other stuff. So he also said that there is a room in their house that they do not even enter in because when they do, they have feelings of hate and things like that. He also said he wakes up a lot at night and he hears things and sees things. So we were like oh dang. What do we do. So my companion said that we were going to come by this week and clean that room really good and then we are going to dedicate the house with a prayer. So i will tell you how that goes next week.

Also, this next week are changes. Elder Orozco goes home on Sunday. Wow. That's crazy.

 

Well that is all. I love you all and i will fill you in with my crazy mission life next week!
