This week was a little weird...
since last week I saw all of the pictures of Austin´s heroic return, but
it was all good. I cant even imagine that he is REALLY home, but I am
proud of him and a little jealous of the missionaries in Irvine that
they have such a stud RM to go out with them.
But it was also a SUPER successful week!! We put down 2
baptismal dates, and also we had 6 investigators in church! And 2 less
actives. A missionary is always pretty happy to see people walk in the
door of the church. The Polanco Family came, all except for the oldest
daughter (that is including the Less active dad!!), Leidy and Antonio
(less active and investigator. The same family that had come last week)
and then Victiko (his real name is Victor Antonio). We also put down a
goal with the Polanco family so that they would read the Book of Mormon
daily to be able to come to know these things for themselves. And they
are pulling through!
umm.. Pedro Julio, the big man, could not come to
church because his feet are super swollen from the afterfects of
CHIKINGUYA. But we talked about the importance of going and he said that
he will go out and try to find a ride for next week. We talked and he
is loving the Book of Mormon. He says that he gets up at 4am
every morning to read!! HAHA I was super suprised, and he only has
Jacob-Words of Mormon, alma, and heleman before he finishes the book.
One question he had: if King Benjamin was so good and righteous, what in
the world happened with King Noah??? That guy was terrible!!. Sometimes
he teaches us about the Book of mormon!
Today we were able to go and help out with a move of
leidy and Antonio. They lived super super far away from the chapel, and
it was difficult to do anything from so far away, but now they live
like 1 minute walking distance from our house. They are in a pretty...
interesting situation right now with marriage, american visas, and
everything like that. It is a long story! But they moved from a house
with a bunch of fruit behind it (mango, coconut, orange, banana) and
before we did the move we drank some and ate some coconut which was
super good, and Elder Sanchez went crazy on those coconuts to cut it
open like the good Dominican that he is.
But yeah it was a super good week, but every week is
just an awesome week that I love. I feel so good here on the mission. I
got to have an interview with President Douglas and I cannot believe
that I already have a year on the mission and he is going to be
finishing with me. it is going to be so crazy. He is the man!!
But yeah, thanks for everything!! You all are great.
Elder Murphy
