Hey Mom!!
How's it going?? This week has been pretty good! We were
able to find a few new investigators this week! We found a family of
four that looks like they are really interested, the family is made up
of a young couple and 2 kids that are 9 and 11 years old! We have also
found quite a few other people that we hope to see progress.
Things are
going pretty well with Elder Child. you asked me if we had any new
experience this week so don't blame me if you get worried! By the way, don't be worried, we are alright!! haha, This week we got mugged. Haha,
like I said Don't worry about anything, we are alright. So, it was like 8
at night and we were waiting in a park for a member that was going to
go on a visit with us, there were a lot of people outside and there were
a lot of stores open, so there were a lot of people in sight. But, two
young men, left their group of friends, there were like 25 years old,
and we weren't scared or anything, its quite normal for drunk people to
come and talk to us. So, we were just acting casual, and they came up
and started talking with us. One was obviously drunk and the other had a handful of cotton in his hand, and as he constantly held it up to his
nose to sniff it, we figured that he was pretty high. The one that had
the cotton started talking and started saying that he wanted 500 pesos,
and he started searching my companion. But we just acted calm and told
them that we were just waiting for a friend of ours. We then asked him
why he wanted money, and with his hand held up to his mouth, making the
"hang loose" sign, we found out that he wanted beer. So, we told him
that we would go to the store and buy him a beer, so we started walking
towards the store and he followed us when a truck full of other young
guys pulled up and started talking to the guy that was drugged. We waved
goodbye to the guys in the truck and they waved back. I think they knew
that this other guy has caused quite a few problems, so they were nice
enough to help us get out of that problem!! It was a pretty fun and new
experience! I feel blessed that The Lord is always Looking out for us!! I
felt like the Sons of Mosiah, Because the Lord has promised Mosiah that
he would protect his sons during their mission efforts to call their brethren and the Lamanites to repentance. That was pretty much the
only cool experience this week!
(Should I be concerned that that was the only "cool" experience?)
I'm excited for General Conference this
week!! I hope that we can all prepare ourselves in a way that we can
learn and know how to progress in this true Gospel!
I love the Lord and I know that he lives!! I love you tons Mom!! Stay Safe!!
Love
Elder Paynter
That's certainly one way to remember Fast Sunday!
