| Juan Carlos took us to Cheesecake Factory He is nominated for a Grammy! |
This has been an awesome week! We grinding super hard down here in the Indy area. Elder Lindstrom and i have some good things going and the work is really picking up.
We are almost too busy to keep up with it. BLESSINGS.
QUOTES
*talking with the hermanas on the phone about their week* and right before I hang up I hit them with the "BYE IDIOT" 5 seconds later we get a text saying "bye idiot?" and we respond "idk what ur talking about" then they respond "oh nvm we thought we heard something different. Have a good night" hahaha classic
I know Elder Lindstrom had some bomb quotes this week but I didn't write them down so I forgot them.
Currently he is jamming to "how great thou art" in the shower
Okay back to the important things. This week JUAN CARLOS (a member up in elkhart (my last area)) CAME AND VISITED ME. I told him he needs to be better spiritually so he needs to go to the temple. So he did. Then he came and took us to THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY. Hahaha I love good ol Juan. It was good to catch up and gossip about the missionaries and just share some stories... As I'm ordering my chicken Alfredo the lady asks "do you want the lunch or the dinner plate?" Juan quickly interrupts and says "it's bulking season baby, give him the dinner" then after we eat the lady says "it's bulking season, so are you guys getting cheesecake?" Juan looks at us and then looks back at the lady and says "of course, this place is literally Called the cheesecake factory. We aren't going to come here and not get cheesecake"
Also this week, we had interviews with pres dawg. This interview was probably the shortest interview I have ever had. I love that dude. He told me some juicy things in the interview. (mostly we just talked about Elder Bearnson in my interview)
Also this week. EVERY LESSON that we had with someone. We were able TO BRING A MEMBER. It was pretty sweet. The members in this branch are so willing to go out with us and give us rides and give our people rides. And man they can testify.
But I'll share a cool story real quick. So we have someone named Gilberto. And Gilberto moved here from Mexico. And his family in Mexico are recent converts and before he moved here he had taken the missionary lessons and he has even gone to church... But he worked a ton in Mexico for his family so he couldn't be baptized. But he has been here for 8 months and these last 2 weeks he has been praying to find the church here... He didn't know where the Spanish branch was.... But the English missionaries knocked on his door last week and he knew enough English to say "I know about Joseph Smith" and then the missionaries sent us and turns out he knows a lot more than just Joseph Smith. So basically we don't teach him, we just go over the lessons and he teaches us... And this week a member took him to church and he loves it here. He has a date to be baptized the 26 of January... We are sooo excited.
Also I love being in this area because I know so many people in Indianapolis. And people love serving the missionaries. Haha so our p-days are super fun because people are always letting us do stuff for free.. For example, we have someone taking us to the zoo in the future for free... And then I know someone that used to be the weather lady here so she is giving us a tour of fox news so that'll be hype.
I honestly really love the new program with the church. Elder Lindstrom and I sat down and studied it together and when we went to church we were so prepared. I loved it. It is definitely a blessing, if we use it correctly. Church simply was not just shortened. We need to take the time in our homes to study together as a family. I challenge all you guys to study it in the home. There is power to it. We have been asked by a prophet of the lord to do this... So it's probably important!
Love,
Your favorite missionary
(oh my grandma tricked me on my Christmas presents, She said "to my favorite missionary" in my head I was like "YES I'M THE FAVORITE" then I began to realize I'm the only missionary out from the family right now. Pranked)
