This
week has been pretty cool.
Monday

| Sweet bouncy house |
Not
much happened this day. We just sorta had our regular P-Day. We played some
Phase 10
Tuesday
September 24th:
There
was an Hermana in our district who went on exchanges with the Sister Training
Leader, and so we got to see the iPads in action. It is pretty cool to have
your whole area book, every Mormon message/video on LDS.org, and all of the
scriptures all on one device. I am pretty excited for when we get to use them.
Wednesday
September 25th:
We
went to a stake talent show, and that was pretty fun to see the stake come
together, both English and Spanish, to have a good time. The Gospel of Jesus
Christ is what brings people together.

Thursday
September 26th:
We taught an
investigator. She has been taught by the missionaries before,
but for whatever reason she wasn't baptized. We taught the first half of Lesson
1 (because we ran out of time) and she liked it a lot. She gave the
closing prayer and she started crying during it. I think It's just a matter of
time until she fully accepts the Gospel into her life.
Friday
September 27th:
This was a
funny day. Elder Hernandez was hit by a car. Not only a car, a cop car. And not
only a cop car, but a cop car pulling out of a police station. It was
pretty funny to be honest. The reason I say it is funny is because
he wasn't hurt at all from the hit. We were biking on
the sidewalk in front of the station and there was a cop who was
slowly pulling out of the station. I was leading and so I rode in front of him
and the cop must not have seen me and so he kept inching out and he inched out
enough to hit Elder Hernandez and popped his front tire. The police officer got
him a new tire from Wal-Mart but it was a cheap one. Then later that same day
we went over to a part member family's house and I invited a non member of the
house (the father) to be baptized on October 26th and he said yes! So I am
pretty excited.
Saturday
September 28th:
Not a ton
happened on this day either, but we biked 12 miles, so that was a pain.
Sunday
September 29th:
Sunday was an
amazing day. It was Fast and Testimony meeting because of General Conference
(which I am beyond excited for, words cannot even begin to describe) and there
were some great testimonies born. Then after church we went to Montana del
Sur's old bishops hospital room. He trims palm trees for a living and he was up
in one one day and he fell from about 20+ feet. He only broke his ankle and
fractured a vertebrae in his back. The Doctors said he is really
lucky that that's all that happened. Then later that night we had a Fireside at
the chapel and it was amazing. Simply amazing. We asked our recent
convert to bare her testimony and she started crying while she talked about
how much the Gospel has blessed her. Then her daughters just randomly got up
and decided to bear their testimonies too. They're 9 and 11 and they are not
members because their dad thinks that they don't understand what they
would be getting into if they were baptized. I wish he was there last
night to hear them say what they said. They were so heart-felt and emotional.
It was amazing. I teared up!
I love this
work. It is the work of God, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I hope you
all are doing well, (Shout out to Grandma Weight for her Birthday today!) and I
love you all so much!
Elder Allen
