Things here are straight poppin. Me and my companion are killing it - we had 40 lessons this week and are feeling good. I don't know if you guys know this but as of 5 months ago the first presidency changed the regulations for a baptism, so they have to assist at least 3 times and have to have every lesson taught. This has made it tough to baptize here, but we got faith shorty don't even front!
Thanksgiving!!!! I hope everyone was thankful for all that they have, because this week we didn't have water and we showered with buckets of water, and my dinner consisted of honey and one piece of pan chapla cuz we had nada for money. But it was the best week we have had here so I'm feeling thankful on all sorts of levels. I was able to celebrate my birthday on Friday because my pentionista won't be here for my birthday, and i was able to murder the cake!!
This week we found 11 new investigators which is a lot, but it was a lot of work. I'm totally exhausted but loving every second. This week me and my companion straight put a Jehovah witness on blast. It was some 30 old dude that came up to us in the street and quoted a book of Mormon scripture then continued to talk about this contradiction with the bible. Then my companion (who was zone leader for 8 months before he was my companion and who has 22 months on the mission and has had these conversations before) shared 3 scriptures to which the guy was speechless then I bore my testimony gave him a folleta and we bounced! They have a rule that any Jehovah witness younger then 30 cant talk to us because they will be converted which I thought was funny. That is just one story of this week.
IT has been a little tough health wise. I don't know what is up with my dang head but it's not doing so good. Guess what!! We have investigators and guess what the homies own? A Bakery!!! Freaking crazy, am i right? The bread and bake goods they make are on a whole other level. But I'm just living it up here in Ayacucho. My companion thinks I'll be here for 6 months and when he finishes I'll be training. That is comforting seeing as I know the language so well hahah but it is all good and I'm just taking what god gives me at this point. That is the only way to live in this world! Love you all and I hope you all have the best week and see the hand of God in your lives!!
Love,
Elder Adams
PS: I got bit by a dog, a big dog. It ripped my pants but it didn't go through my garments and it didn't leave any mark on my body, miracle after miracle here!! The dog ran away whimpering like it got hurt, Protection from the big guy upstairs.
