Dear Family, My week went alright i had a few embarrasing situations and we now think our zone leaders think we are apostate.. We had an investigator (adam) show us this amazing freestytle rap by this man who spent some time in jail. Thing is he didnt have any beats or anything and he was just rhyming, but the rap was incredible iwish you could here it. It was all about the savior and god and his decision to follow chirst. How we cant let satan have any power over us and i cant quote very well because i have only heard it twice but at one point he said sometinhg about god haveing one vision and i was like uh yeah!! .. its called the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, the best part about it was that mutiple times as i was listening i could feel the spirit testifying of the truths that were in his rap. I want to rename it to his testimonial rap becuase thats exactly what it was, anyways he showed us this rap and we got to aarons how and we thought how awesome would it be for him to hear this to know that there is better type of music to listen to than just a bunch of songs with swearing in it, so i have my comp text adam to find out what the name of the rap and rapper was, but she accidentally sent it to the Zone leaders.. she freaked out when they texted us back and said i dont know im not well versed in rap sisters... we almost peed our pants, and of course i got to clean up the mess when they called us 2 seconds later and all of this is happening during our lesson mind you, so not only are we embarressed because the whole situtaiton could have been avoided but we are also getting into "trouble" in fron tof our investigator and member. we assured them that we felt the spirit from it and it didnt draw our thoughts away from our purpose but in fact added on to it and if i had the chance i would recommend it to the mission president to listen to. they hung up and then sent us another reminder via text. so it kind of was resolved but we still arent comfortable to see them during skills and interviews this thursday. so it kind of was resolved but we still arent comfortable to see them during skills and interviews this thursday becuase they dont know the whole part about adam and wanting to share it with aaron and they havent listened to it so we feel like they dont completely trust us as much as they say they do.haha what a wonderful experience, right? Other than that we are still looking for people to teach, we actually have been meeting with this less active member for over 11 weeks now and just building a realation ship of love by serving and teaching her, and just when everyone kept telling us that we were wasting our time and that nothing would come of it, she had an entire week off wrok so her inlaws came and soent the week with her. we've met them beofre and shared the book of mormon and restoration messgae with them one day and then the restoation video the next. but this week we got to talk to them more in depth amonst the times we were serving this LA, and they are incredible people i just love them so much! The husband asks question syou didnt even think were possible and the wife not as interested in the church seems to just let him be interested and not keeping him from asking which is just as good, and last night we had dinner with them so we shared a message about the plan of salvation and as we were testifying of it you could see his eyes getting teary eyed! we invited him to read the pamphlet to find out more for himself and if reallys wants to know more we are willlingly to meet with him to talk more about it with him. BEST DAY EVER. so i got a picture with them so that i never forget them becuase im oretty sure i wont last another transfer. Still Looking for people to teach and thankfully we have a few names to work with, we will see how it goes this week.
