Hola good people. I'm pretty low energy right now but I'll do my best
2. Second time we almost got in a fight
3. "Where were you when we were sacrificing this family?"
1. There's this lady we've done service for up in spring valley with our district. She's a super nice non-member and we pulled some cactus bushes, and other things. The reason for Baby Godzillas is that there are a bunch of lizards in her backyard that freak her out and that's what she calls them. It was super cool just because she was so grateful for all the service we did to the point of tears. She also talked about how there's a light in us and we said a prayer with her. She said next time she wants to hear all our testimonies. It would be really cool to see her progress.
2. Quick story was one morning as we were walking to the gym in our complex there was this mid 20s guy walking and shouting from a distance. I debated whether or not we should walk past him, because he looked a little crazy. That's something you would see a lot in my last area, but less here because it's more wealthy. I was also kind of surprised he was here because it's a really nice complex. He wasn't homeless though. Anyway, as we walked up to him he was crying and he looked at us asking us if we had a problem while we were just trying to walk past in peace. He then started calling us the n word and we just kinda walked away saying we didn't have a problem. He dared us to look back while he was walking away, but we didn't. We had hydro flasks in our hands and I would have given it to him if he tried.
3. Funny quote from this week was "Where were you when we were sacrificing this family?". We played this game called Sacrifice at a member lesson. It was actually the Bahr Family who are my relatives we found out a couple weeks ago. Anyway, the game basically gives you 3 cards with a bunch of stuff like "beauty", "church", etc. and the cards gradually get more important and gospel related. And the family has to decide on one card to give up. It goes all the way up to the Atonement. Well, at one point the family had to decide between "Family", "Prophets and Apostles" and the last one might have been scriptures. Anyway, they decided to get rid of the family but the dad wasn't paying attention. He later pointed out that scriptures maybe could've gone since scriptures are kind of the teachings of prophets and apostles. The mom was upset in a funny way realizing they gave up their family a little soon. It was funny. But the last cards are normally the Atonement and Family. The point of the game is to point out that everything goes back to the Atonement. I'm currently working on an essay about the Atonement that I might include next week. It's been a really cool assignment from President.
Love you all! Hope you're doing well and I would love to hear from you!
