WEEK 27 - Logandale, Nevada

 HOLA MI FAMILIA Y AMIGOS cómo están??? Mi semana fue loco y aburrido a la mismo tiempo... fue un poco rápido también! Bueno, aqui son unos cosas de esta semana

SORRY this is a lot of words but it's all good stuff 

★ IT RAINED!!!  LIKE REAL RAIN FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES YAYAYAYAY IT WAS AMAZING Sister Steele and I just took a walk around the block in the rain

★ It was 7/11 day but there's no 7/11 around here so no free slurpees 

★ Taco salad streak #BROKEN  I kid you not EVERY. SINGLE. MEMBER MEAL since I've been in this area (it's been like 3 weeks) has been taco salad. BUT a couple days ago we had PASTA and we broke the streak 

★ Arturo wants to go to church but he works in Vegas on Sunday's so we offered for him to go to spanish night church in Vegas and he said "that would be freaking awesome"  yes king!

★ We were sitting in the parked car and a bird literally hit us  then we found a big spot of blood/guts on the car  #rip

★ It's getting kind of toasty in here... no me gusta 110° 

★ Our friend Juan (you may remember from a couple emails ago who was SO COOL and cried when we gave him a Book of Mormon) DROPPED US  He said he is another religion and will always be that religion rip

★ Our friend Aiden is lit he gave us cupcakes how kind 

★ We have a friend named Ramon that we have been teaching. He just now mentioned he was baptized when he was 8 in our church so we're like alright hes a member. They can't find his records so he's gonna have to get baptized again aparently but he doesn't want to so that's #awkward. BUT he loves church and making friends with all the guys!!!

★ Put Sybren on date he's so chill and wants to go to church!

★ Had a visit with an old hispanic lady and it was fun to speak spanish again  not that I know very much but still. But then her brother came over and he started to lowk teach us instead? 

★ Last p-day we went THRIFTING!!! Then to the valley of fire! (Didn't go hiking tho too hot ig) so pretty tho♡

STORY TIME

Ok so we went to the reservation per usual to have a lesson with Derrick (new member) and Calvin (friends with Derrick and we are teaching him) so we get out of the car and walk over, Derrick isn't there, Calvin is sobbing talking to Derrick's grandma on the porch poor guy It seems a little tense and they don't acknowledge us lol so we go back to the car. Derrick comes out and waves at us  so we're like ok must be fine to go have a lesson now (spoiler alert it wasn't). So we get out of the car, go over, say hi to everyone, Calvin is still crying and lowk tweaking, some random guy comes over and says to Calvin "I need to talk to you" so Calvin goes over and talks to him. We continue on trying to have a lesson with Derrick. He starts praying. Mid prayer, THE POLICE SHOW UP and Calvin BOOKS IT!  The policeman runs after him and chases him down it was kind of sad and scary  We ask Derrick if everything is alright and he's like "I'm not sure" completely unphased... alright. But he might not have been all the way there if you know what I mean...Then Derrick says "In the name of Jesus Christ amen"  wow that all happened during his prayer, we were NOT bowing our heads and closing our eyes lol we were being aware of our surroundings and wondering what the heck is going on. So we were very distracted obviously and tried to share a scripture QUICK  Then we left the rez!  then we stopped teaching Calvin  rip he was so awesome

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

★ Helaman 5:47

"Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world."

★ We can find peace through having faith in Jesus Christ! He suffered for us because he loves us! We can have peace by knowing that he is there and we can always turn to him and he understands us ♡♡♡
