this week was so good, but literally so sad. but were good, lemme tell you what happened.
so last week that family that i talked about in the voice recording, they were so awesome and we were so stoked. we went by, went by again, and again. and they werent home, went by with members and nothing. last night were walking back from a just devistating experience that ill tell you about in a sec. and we find them!! and were like hey how are you all?? when can we come visit you?? they looked us dead in the eyes and said yeah sorry look we already listened and were catholic, dont come back. BROKE MY HEART. but hey these things happen. anyways the other sad part was that 20 mins before that we were coming back from an appt and ran into a brother of one of our converts. totally drunk, i went and gave him a hug and was like hey man lets go home huh? (again looks me dead in the eyes) and says "look elder, why dont you visit us anymore? its been 3 weeks, were lost without you guys. look at me elder, look at me, were lost" i just lost it. i felt so much love for him in that moment. we finished the conversation and kept walking. passed a park and i just lost it, i was so sad and so angry at the same time. i wanted to cry, but at the same time i wanted to like punch something. i felt like neither of those wouldve been a a good choice so i just started repping out a bunch of pushups until i could calm dowm. i was just heart broken for this guy. anyways what i learned from it was love, like i imagine how much the savior loves us. ah man just crazy stuff on the mission i love it, literally the mission is the most incredible thing ever. if you have the chance to do it... dont miss out, go for it its incredible take my word for it.
anyways guys have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
