January 20, 2019 "Such a buena onda"

Hey, guys today I don't have my super nice magic typy thing so this is gonna be a very condensed rundown of the week.

On Wednesday I did divisions with Chiantla, a little pueblo outside of HH. It was pretty cool because I did divisions last year in February. Like one time we were riding on the bus and we passed a house. Without even thinking, a memory popped into my head from like a year ago when I was in that house. It was super weird haha. I interviewed one of their investigadores for baptism last week but she said some things that were a bit out of my authority so President came to do it again on Wednesday. She was all good and then she asked if I could baptize her. It was pretty funny cuz I like never even taught her and I could tell my comp was kinda sad. But we were able to convince her to choose someone else haha.

We did divisions with quilinco on Friday. Elder Funk came down with me and we had a blast. Such a buena onda. We came up with a new horror video game that takes place in quilinco and its gonna be sick and we're actually gonna make it when we get home. We met a couple on the street that used to be members, sealed in the temple, but turned into evangelicals. I kinda not try to touch touchy subjects on the street so I tried to set a cita but they said no because they were happy in their religion. So then I got kinda touchy. I told them that they were also happy at our church but then they changed so like why? They said we only read the Book of Mormon and think Jose smith is more important than Christ. Trying to answer that I heard them mention that christ was a spirit. And I was like Hold up now, what did you say?? and he was like yea Christ doesn't have a body. I told them about when christ appeared to the apostles and had them feel the prints and they said that was before the resurrection. I was appalled. I went straight to the end of Lucas 24 and then we dipped. 

Sometimes I feel like the prophets of old when they describe how sad they are for the sins of the world. For me, it's more like I feel sad for the apostasy of the world more than the sins. Like I find so many people like that this week. It literally makes me sad like I get a little depressed after talking t them. Like I don't understand how one, someone can get to the celestial room with his whole family and not know christ has a body. Two, how can you turn your back after making covenants with God. I can't comprehend how people can negar basic truths.

But then you go with people like Edvin and it makes me feel good. We taught him the word of wisdom and sabbath day and he loved it and we so willing to stop drinking coffee. He always hyped up how we're such good teachers and we never really teach the lessons were supposed to. We kinda just jump from question to another and talk about everything it's awesome haha. He came to church on Sunday and said he could only go for the first hour but then he stayed for the second too and loved it.

Today we moved. From the first floor to the second. There's a viajita that lives above us that cant go up and downstairs. They've been begging us fr the past week to switch them. The house is amazing though. Its like twice the size of the one we had before but were gonna pay the same. It was crazy because there were a million old ladies running around our house today. Calling us hermanitos and marveling at how tall we are. It was pretty rough. we had to lower ovens and fridges down by ropes and despite the super high voices of the old ladies, we were able to do it. Now we're sitting pretty.
