So yeah, its been a little bit of a long week, but time and time again the Book of Mormon never ceases to impress me. We were talking with a family who had a bad encounter with their uncle who's also a member here. The family told us that they never want to see him again, and because of him they are never going to church again until they move. It sounds cheesy, but it was actually pretty serious.
We started talking a bit. We didn't really know what to say, and the conversation wasn't really going anywhere. So we decided to read. My comp opened up and started reading. Every once in a while we'd stop and talk a bit, but the dad was pretty mad and didn't really want to participate. I'm not really sure what happened, but out of no where he broke down. He looked at us and said, "I'm not going to miss church. I know that's where my family will be safe, and that's where we need to be.
I know the Book of Mormon is true. It's what gives me the strength to leave the apartment and teach every day. So don't forget to read each day!! ha ha.
Love,
Elder Starkey
Oh, and don't forget to write my homie Elder Tate that went into the MTC on Wednesday!
District meeting...
Miguel showed up in the middle of a lesson with a member family with his sweet shades.
I think he looks like an Argentine Tom Cruise...
Miguel, and thats the club we listen to every Friday and Saturday night,
Kolor Disco...
The rocks I pulled out of my shoe. I shined my shoes and they look brand new on top, but underneath more or less, ha ha. I tried to fix it with a bunch of glue stuff, we'll see how good it works ha ha. I think I am going to have them resoled in a couple of months.
The hat Miguel gave me, ha ha...
Finally going to be able to gift one of the shirts you sent! We have a baptism this week for a little dude, 9 years old. Half his family are members, but really inactive. I think his baptisms really going to help them. Thanks Kohler and Urbina families for sending shirts!
