Week 14 - Thunderstruck

Hey everyone, hope everything is going great back in the states!  Everything is good here except that its been raining everyday for a week or two!  It´s raining season!  But its alright, we just put on boots and go.

So everyday for the past week or two, along with the rain, I have been waking up to this dog that lives with the owners of the building we live in.  She just recently had puppies and is now super annoying.  But a couple nights ago she finally didn´t bark!  But I still woke up.  This time it was to thunder!

I would try to close my eyes and sleep again but I could still see a flash and a couple seconds later, I would hear the loudest thunder ever.  It got super close too.  It was the loudest thunder I have ever heard.  I thought about getting up and recording it, but I was too tired to do anything. Eventually I did get back to sleep.

So the guy that used to be a drunk that we are now teaching is our leading investigator!  He is also the most responsible.  We have taught him a lot because he keeps asking questions which is really good.  He also came to church yesterday!  He is always on time and always fulfills commitments.  He is reading in the Book of Mormon everyday.  We had a cita with him yesterday and we got there and he was about 10 minutes late.  He said sorry and everything, but when we got back to our room, he had left a message for us saying that he would be 10 minutes late.  Nobody here does that!!  He also officially accepted baptism for the 14th of February.

We had a zone conference this past week as well so President Harbertson came and talked to us along with Hermana Harbertson.  It was a good conference and I was able to take some things out of it.  I also really like this video that you can all go watch.  I believe its on lds.org, not exactly sure where.  It´s called, The Refiners Fire.  It is a really good message that everyone can learn from.

Other than that it was a pretty normal week.  We did some service helping someone paint, we have some more service tomorrow.  The life of a missionary.  But it is surprising that they are actually letting us do service!  But its good!  We really do want to do service.  But that´s about it.  Thanks for everything!  Hope everything is good!  Love you all!
