Transfers
Things are going great the baptism was successful!!! transfers were today but i'm still going to be in the same area. One has been here for nine months in the area and he just got transfered today but I don't know where he is going and he was our district leader. he has been out for a year and My companion has been out for nine months for his whole mission and Elder Olsen has been out three months so he is a transfer ahead of me. I have not learned any spanish, I have not met one spanish person because there is one to three spanish stakes and the spanish missionaries are there.
Trying to go to Jail and Getting Pulled Over by an Ice Cream Truck
we had a referral from mormon.org and we went to see this lady that has two daughters and she just believes weird things so we are trying to get everythign straight and her husband is in jail for another five years and she wanted us to go see him and we told her that we could send missionaries over there than we called the mission home than they told us that missionaries can not meet people in jail so maybe when he gets out some missionaries can meet him. we had three less actives to come to church this sunday and one investigator came also which was good. we were going to see the wallis's and the dad was not there so we said that we could come back another time to meet them, we were heading to there mom's house that lives behind them and we were on a dirt road than we heard sirens behind us and we were freaking out and was saying what did we do, so we pulled over to see what he wanted and it was a ice cream van!!! got pulled over by an ice cream van can you believe that. JK but that would be funny. it was a blue truck with sirens on top and it was the dad and he said that he just wanted to do it for fun. he is an voluntary fireman.
Blessings and Trials
we had an less active had fall down the stairs and her leg is all swollen and bruised and so she asked us to give her a piesthood blessing and she went to the doctor and they said it was not broken or anything and they said she needed to lay down for a couple days, so she wouldn't be able to come to church. But she said I am going to church no matter what, wow she has so much faith and determination. we had a member that is real good friends with her and he told her not to come and to get some wrest. We went to see this other less active and she had a disease or something in her leg and they had to amputated it just a half a foot or something below the knee and it was not healing so they said to her they would have to amputate it above the knee but she said no and they amputated two more inches and they said if its not going to heal then they have to amputate it above the knee. so we visit her every once awhile and she loves when we go and stop by.
