Okay so response first to all of your questions.
Today for pday we went to the church and played ping pong. I'm getting pretty good
at that. Tired of winning ha. We just try to find whatever to do. We clean
stuff like the pench, but that's usually just me cleaning haha. But hey bugs, our
penchion has cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes. That's about it. But
lots. To dry our clothes we just take them out of the washer and
hang them on the rack to dry. Then they go all hard and stuff and you
shake them and stretch them to make them a little softer haha. It's not
terrible but makes me sad not having comfy socks. And yes until transfers in
about 3 weeks I'll be with Elder O´Hanley.
So story of this week. Or should I say MILAGRO!! So that kid that I said
did lots of drugs and when we went to pick him up last Sunday and he said he
couldn't cause he slept with a lady that night? Yeah well anyways, we passed by
his house Saturday to ask him to go to church. Well turns out that one of his
drugy buddies that morning had been going around the town and stealing stuff and
bringing it to hide in his house. Like a freaking moped! But anyways he
brought some clothes and tried burning all these clothes and stuff just cause he
is a punk. Anyways he got caught and got sent to prison. He was 18! But
that's just the friend of our investigator. When we got to his house we were talking to
him and he told us that his buddy did that and was in prison.
When we were getting ready to leave he called over his neighbor to come talk
to us about what had happened and she flipped out on him and said he is a terrible guy and wont change. She asked what was he doing
when all that happened and he said sleeping. She left and then came back
with like 4 little kids that said his friend stole stuff from them. She
was like do you have the stuff of these kids in your house? He said he didn't
know. So she just walked into the house and she found a backpack and some
clothes of the kids and then they walked out back and found like a bunch of
clothes that he had tried to burn but didn't burn all the way. I guess it
was there Christmas clothes and stuff. This is all what his friend did ha
ANYWAYS! that was just back ground. After all of this commotion of people cussing
him out and stuff I was like, hey Julio, bro this ain't you. We know you're a good
guy and can change. You just got to change your friends and stuff right? We said we would go and pick him up from church at 8:45 for church the next day
and he said okay. (we were fasting to have people in the church btw)
So we were
heading to go pick him up and we get a call saying we have an investigator in
church. So we turned around and went to the church and lo and behold Julio was in
church!! He came like 20 minutes early too. So That was freaking awesome! He
plays soccer with us too on Thursdsays and is the first person we have had in
church since I got here. So that was awesome! We have lots of work with
him still. He is 29 but I thought he was like 25 and his brain works like a 10
year old's. He is fried but I feel bad cause both his parents died and he lives
alone. So yeah, pretty cool kid.
Hey how bout that story? Hey love you all and
hope the Basin doesn't freeze out. Ha it's cooking here.
Love you and cho
Elder Lindsay
