Happy Labor Day y'all!
first off, i totally forgot to say, Happy late anniversary to my mommy and daddy! :) sorry i forgot!
So this week has been an eventful one.
first off, last night had to be the WORST EVER!!!! So I'm getting in my bed, doing the nightly check. THERE WAS A SPIDER IN MY BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my conclusion of this is that they're climbing through the fan and the fan flips them onto my bed cuz its about under it to the side. Great! I just about died!!!!! Jump of just so mad at this point, go grab the handy Sister Taylor catcher, and its gone. Gone. No where! Heck to the no would i go to sleep now!!!! So Sis Bangs and I get up, take off the cover on my bed where it was on (our beds are like mini couches that turn into beds) and i finally take the matress off, and don't worry, under it is infested with SPIDER WEBS!! ....im really gona kill someone now. Completely disgusted, we see the scorpion as we moved a piece and it crawls under the bed/couch thingy...to hard to explain. So we lift it completely over and try to suction it but our vacuum doesn't work. So at midnight we text Bishop for some help. Of course he doesn't have a black light, but he brings us his vacuum and guess what? Still didn't get it!
No way am i sleeping on that thing again!!!!!!!!! So nope, didn't get it, i killed a whole family of spiders under my bed, and i slept on the couch, in the kitchen. You Betcha!
No sleep. I hate this!!!!!!!!
Anyways..... :p
To add on, this past week we almost died! But i wont tell the details, but when we got to our destination after our near-death experience, to Charlie's for an appt, he had a letter on the door addressed to us. Long letter short - he doesn't want any more to do with the church, he doesn't like the Mormons anymore, that Sister Taylor was the only one that actually would talk to him, tried to help him, and pretty much telling me that i was a waste of his life, and that he doesn't believe President Monson is a prophet and no longer believes Joseph Smith was or that the Book of Mormon is true either. Ok, he was drunk while writing this. So we kept knocking on his door, he was asleep at the time, but came out finally and started talking to us. He said that it wasn't for him and that he can still drink beer and live with God again. The alcohol has completely taken him over, aka satan. It made me want to just cry. All this work I've put in to him to help him, he almost has it, he just needs to endure it. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to meet him in the Spirit world asking me why I gave up on him. He's sooo close!!! But Sister Bangs doesn't want to try at all. I don't know where the line is and I'm really struggling on it. I just wish I knew what to do since my companion is not on the same level that I'm at concerning him. I'm just frustrated! He didn't come to church, we saw him once and he was at his friends drinking again and pretty much rubbing in my face. I love God's children...I have to keep telling myself this :p
Then Chuck also brought out that his faith is gone and he's trying to bring it back and doesn't know exactly how to do it. So we will be focusing on that for sure. He's close too, and I know he wants it, he's just having a hard time letting go of his Catholic church, even though he doesn't go to it :p
BUT!!!!!!!!!!! Here's our success this week though!!! So we met with Miguel, who is a member referral, and the lesson went amazing! He came to church, loved it, and we met with him after. He loved gospel principles class and loves the whole family centered everything. We talked to him about the Family Proclamation and he loved that! And after church we taught him the rest of the Plan of Salvation and he thought it was wonderful. He told us this is where he wants to be, he wants to be baptized but he just has to tell his wife (by common law - we have to get them married first) and she's Catholic but goes to Church of Christ and they kind of have their own beliefs and don't talk about it, which is really sad! But he committed to be baptized on Sept. 27th and hopes he can reach it. I have faith that he can! He just has to do his part and talk to his wife about this. This was a great joy for us! :)
We did also go to a SPANISH bible study for the Aguilars! It was so fun! I got to introduce myself in Spanish, woo hoo ;p and, get this! I thought i had the gift of tongues for a second! I understood what this guy was saying, and right when noticed, it went away...fail! The Aguilars are gona get there though!!! I have high hopes for them :)
Oh and we totally ran out of our miles so we totally biked. Oh so FUN! see pics!
ok! That's about it!
Have a great week! The gospel's awesome! Go share it! :)
