HELLO EVERYONE
Boy oh boy this week was pretty fantastic. I think I say something like that every week, but that's because it's true. There's nothing quite as rewarding as being a missionary.
Anyway, update on the Peña Family. So we went over on Tuesday and we finally got to teach their daughter, Desteny. We were casually talking about their baptism on the 20th and Desteny said, "Oh yeah, I was going to tell you, I want to get baptized with my family, I've prayed about it and it feels right for me." HA man we were so stoked, she's super awesome. We hadn't even really talked about baptism with her or invited her to be baptized, but she just took that step on her own to find out the truth. We moved their date to the 27th so they can all be ready together.
We were calling members the other day and I called one Hermana, but her 4 yr old grandson answered. I knew that he loved Spiderman, so I told him that it was Elder Peter Parker and he went nuts. We set up a lesson with his grandma and when we went to their house, he said, "Hi Peter Parker, I'm so happy you're here." He then proceeded to bust out some spiderman/breakdance moves, then asked me to show him my spiderman moves. I told him I could only do it in my spiderman suit haha. In Spanish, spiderman is "hombre araña," but my companion got confused and said, "hombre naranja," which means "orange man." It was quite funny.
Something cool about being a missionary is that everyone watches you, literally everyone. We stand out. There's a verse in 3 Nephi 18 that I really like that helps us know how we should be. It says, "Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do." Just be like Jesus. Easy as that.
I've really slacked on my journal writing this week, so I don't really remember a ton from this week. Major bummer.
Hope you are all thriving, read the scriptures.
Love and miss you all!
