Week 11: Food Poisoning, Miracle Prayers, and the Knight Bus

Hola Familia! 

 This week has been just a little bit crazy. After the week before of

being sick with the flu, my companion and I went to a family home

evening Monday night and ate a horrible chicken sandwich(it had bones

in it....We still have PTSD with that haha). So that night and the

next morning we totally got slammed again with stomach pains, Elder

McArthur got more sick then me, and Elder Heymeyer, another elder in

our piso, got sick from another thing too so our whole piso was sick.

Long story short we’re better now, but Elder McArthur and I learned to

always check the food before you eat it haha. We also had the great

experience of having daily planning through the bathroom door as my

companion was dying, so that was new haha.



 Besides that, this week we slowly got back up to speed from me being

sick last week, by teaching Jeannine after her baptism things about the

temple, Doctrine and Covenants, and how she can share the gospel with

her friends(she's excited about that), so that made that lesson a bit

easier. When I showed her Canal Mormon(Mormon channel) on Facebook

though she almost blew her noodle with excitement( she loves

inspirational quotes so that made her day). We also started teaching a

Mali man, and a Venezuelan woman who knows everything and just needs

to be baptized(her name is Xiomara). Overall once we were healthy

again we are teaching a bunch more than before. 



 On Saturday night we decided to take the Renfe to a pueblo in our area

called Alequas/Aldaia, which turned out pretty well since the people

were nicer and we were able to meet some less actives named Fernado

and Elsa(like frozen haha). They were cool, and we were able to give

her a blessing which made it even better! But on the way back, we rode

the bus, which here in Spain means hang on and hope that you don't

flip over on the roundabouts, since the buses go 60 mph on ANY turn

haha( just like the knight bus haha), we literally were half thrown

from our seats. But it was worth it, we got back on time, just with a

few bruises on our sides.



 I also learned that prayers work this week. That might sound dumb, but

there were several times this week when my companion and I prayed to

find people, then we had amazing contacts. Specifically on Sunday

night(or last night haha) we prayed and found Kai and Khaled, who was

a Muslim, who we have appointments with this week, which is amazing!

Contacting is fun, but appointments are where the work is done.



 Today for preparation day I got my hair cut, we explored Turia Park

with some other companionships, and also chowed down on a Dominos

pizza buffet. Overall, a fun and relaxing preparation day. 



 Thanks for all your prayers, and letters! I'll try to respond to you

all but it's hard to fit it in the time we have!



Love you and miss you all!
