so the first thing was that my pen died and i couldnt find the one my good buddy eric made for me. i thought i left it at home but after just one simple prayer i found it in my scripture bag of all places lol. it was very sweet.
we also started teaching a new person, her name is eloisa and shes very sweet, were working hard to be able to get her to progress.
all of the new elders came this week. and 2 of them are in our room they are awesome and have such strong testimonies of the attonement its awesome.
i started the book of mormon over when i got here and im just about finished with it, its been such a blessing to go through and read everything.
i got sick this week, our whole district did but were alll just about over it.
on sunday i gave a talk in sacrament, did a musical #, and gave the priesthood lesson, it was a lot for one day but it really was a great experience
the natives are so nice, they all love talking to us and helping us out with spanish and we love teaching them a little bit of english haha its great!
THIS WAS SO AWESOME one night i was feeling really discouraged and sad, and i just was having a hard day. i was studying late at night by the window that looks out to the city kinda. and was just a little sad, when one elder, elder rodriguez came and sat by me. and with what i could pick up (cuz it was spanish) he began to tell me all about his life. it made us both cry, after about 30 mins he asked me why is life so hard? in that moment, i felt like i needed to bear my testimony in spanish and i did, the words that came from my mouth, were not mine, they were gods and we both cried cuz the spirit was so strong.
i came to know from this special moment that this mission is not for me at all. not even a little bit, this mission is for god and his son, its for all of you, its to be an example to others, its for the people that i will serve with, and its for the people i will serve. it was an amazing thing. love you all.
we are going out to the city this week to teach i cant wait!!
my companions are so awesome!! we get along great which is a huge blessing, love those elders!!
love you all so much!! thanks for listening lol hope you all have a great week! talk to ya in 7 days haha
love always,
elder allred
