also BENJI CAME TO CHURCH AGAIN! BENJIIIIIIII. HES THE BEST. and we didnt even remind him. he just showed up! and OK so we had a lesson with him and jorma and obispo cruz and benji was like "i have to get married to be baptized right?" and we were like yeaaahhhh and obispo cruz was like "i can marry you! for free!" and benji was SO DOWN he was just like "jorma will you marry me right now?" and it was super funny and she was like mmmmm hahah. but jorma gave us a ride home and she was saying how SHE was the one who wanted to get married and benji didnt. but it looks like benji wants to get married. SO. if she wants to get married, and he wants to get married, i dont know what the problem is! so MAYBE we'll be having a wedding soon. YESSSSS. ive always wanted to go to a mission on my wedding. wooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one night this week all of our plans fell through (literally everything) so we decided to contact in this neighborhood. and literally NO ONE wanted to listen to us. for like two hours. we DID talk to a testigo de jeovah, who only came outside because she thought that WE were her fellow testigos. but i asked her questions about what they believed because i was curious HAHAH. but she didnt accept a return appointment :'( but anyways. it was like 8:54 and we were walking back to the car to go home and we saw two ladies walking around and i was like "hey! lets talk to them!" and so we did and turns out that one of them is moving and needed help getting her stuff from her old house to her new house. so we offered to help and went back on saturday to help her move. and after that we had a lesson with her and it turns out that she actually has a lot of biblical knowledge and understands a lot. she asked us a lot of deep doctrinal questions (for example. if Judas iscariot needed to betray Jesus because it was necesary for him to die, why was he punished so bad? deep) and we read 3 nephi 11 with her and she was like "hey. this is NOT how i was baptized in the catholic church! they just sprinkled some water on my head!" and we were like "well do you want to be baptized like Jesus was?" and she was like "well yeah, its necesary! what do i need to do to be baptized?" so shes on date now! wooop woop! for the 7th of april. we'll see what happens. shes named carmen. classic. but shes cool and it was a cool experience.
today we went to the mall and this old guy called us over and i was like "hey! an old man that wants to hear the gospel!" and he was like "son de la iglesia presbitiriana?" and we were like "no, somos misioneras de la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias!" and he was confused so i was like "los mormones" and then he was like :0 "los mormones van al infierno. no son hijos de dios. no tienen el espiritu santo. son hijos de satanas" and just going on and on and on. LOL so that was fun. all of our faces were just like *upsidedown smiley face* and i didnt know what to say without being offensive so i just said "have a good day" and we just walked away HAHAHA. it was funny. some people are just so confused :-)
WEEKLY EPIPHANY. so i was studying in preach my gospel about the spirits role in conversion. and i was doing one of the study boxes and it said to read some chapters about people's conversions in the book of mormon. so i read alma 36 and some other GOOD chapters and i had an epiphany. the gospel makes us HAPPY when we are truly converted, so as we teach our investigators, we should see them becoming happier. because if they're not, they're not feeling the spirit and not becoming converted. so if they're not becoming converted, we either have to teach better lessons or they're not keeping commitments or SOMETHING is not happening and they are not progressing. idk. it was MIND BLOWING. if we arent seeing them become happier then somethings gotta change. it was a solid study. also i gave a 15 minute talk on this yesterday in church.
