Week of Awesomeness YEHOOOOOO (Week 55)

Sup yous. How's it goin. This week was an absolute blast off level ten party ahahah Elder West and I are ripping this area to pieces house by house. Some of the people that reject us I'm just not even worried about. We're chewing through the area book trying to find new people and sometimes it feels like we're eating a bowl of nails, may I add without any milk, but it's all part of the Celestial plan to enter into the heavenly salty splatoon.

We were walking to a service project one day that ended up falling through hahah and here in mother Brasil people have like these weird metal trash things where you put your trash in that like stick way out into the sidewalk. I'll attach a photo. But West and I were walking and I was like looking at him talking and all the sudden I get Samurai warrior saber chopped right in the middle of my left peck by this stupid metal thing and it hurt like Poseidon. It left me quite puzzled.

On Sunday at lunch I kid you not there was just a nice NFL game on and the last football game I watched was last freaking year's Super Bowl literally like 1 year and 8 months ago holy nuts. But I was trying to get the best bang for my buck so I ate 6 plates of food, and you think I'm kidding, as slow as I possibly could without looking like I was stalling hahah. I also drank 3 liters of water so after we left lunch a couple hours passed and I was peeing like every 10 minutes hahah. I posted up to take care of business by a tree and then Elder West was like bro I gotta pee too but I hate peeing in public hahah so I gave him a motivational speech and he starts peeing by this tree hahah then a car turns in right where we were and he peed all over his hands hahaha so we had to go home and he took a shower hahaah it was sooooo funny.

This week I really learned a special lesson about just hard work and being consistent. Everything that we had planned this week went wrong basically the whole entire week, but as we just kids to the wall the Lord blessed us with energy and happiness. On Friday afternoon we got a call and a member wanted us to give her friend's mom a blessing. We got there and I was just praying for help and the faith to help this lady be healed. We asked the lady if she had faith to be healed and she said yes and so we gave her a blessing and the Spirit was so so strong. I felt as we were leaving that a miracle had happened. Two days in the future we were coming back from lunch on Sunday and we randomly just passed in front of that specific family's house and I felt we should go visit them. We told the Uber driver he could just let us out there on the corner and we went back to the house and they were home so we went in and started talking to them. They were just so grateful to see us again and she started telling us how much better she has gotten these last 48 hours. I went to the bathroom to spring a leak and found myself begging God to help us with the lesson. To guide our words and help us take advantage of this miracle to bring the gospel to this family. As I left the bathroom their daughter showed up and was so so happy to see us. We started teaching the 3 of them about the Restoration and really focused on the priesthood and authority and power of God, and how that stuff is so freaking real. The Spirit testified of everything we said and I cannot explain how softened their hearts were through the entire lesson. As we finished up the lesson the daughter pointed out something that I hadn't even noticed. She pulled me aside and was like just look at my mom. Her whole self seems to be lighter. It was true, as I looked at this 80 year old woman, her eyes seemed to be opened brighter, her wrinkles seemed to be fewer, her smile seemed to be elevated, and the way she carried herself was completely different. It almost seemed as if her spirit was showing through her face with more vibrance. It was incredible. I just don't see a logical way to explain the things of God, nor will I even try. I just gotta bear my testimony that God's power to perform miracles is on this earth. That through our faith and through His will, miracles will and are happening daily. I know that Jesus lives, truly.

So this week I just took very few photos I'm sorry.

We had a nerf gun fight at District Counsel and a dart got caught up in the roof so I climbed into the roof and tried to dislodge it but it didn't work
