Week 24: The Spirit On A Skateboard
"I saw the Spirit in a dream...
on a skateboard??"
Perhaps the most random and funny conversion story I have ever heard from this very active older man in our ward. He was taking lessons from the missionaries and then... he had a dream, in which he said he saw the Holy Ghost, riding a skateboard, telling him the church is true.
ANYways we are back!
This week I have been in just a goated trio with Elder Taylor and Elder Stringam. What an unforgettable week it's been.
--> There is a guy in our ward that litterally is a Paraguayo Hawkeye who came in and taught lessons to a couple of our friends who stayed for second hour, (problem is we forgot his real name and so now we just call him Hermano Hawkeye between us), the resembalence is unreal. I mean asuming Hawkeye was a returned missionary and directed the music in church.
--> In our ward we also have visiting lady, who comes every sunday and is just a bit, how do you put it, crazy. I walked up to meet here and said ¨Hi, I´m a missionary from here in Presidente Franco¨. She looked up at me and said ¨No your not, faker¨ and went back to whatever she was doing. Apparently the first time Elder Taylor had talked to her, he had called her ¨Sister¨ and the lady turned to him and said... ¨ I´m not your wife¨... however, she just sits at the bag of the ward with her pink hair and all.. and listens for the whole meeting every sunday.
--> Wednesday was mildly miserable again. We had a rainy day and three of our really important appointments fell threw, one of Elder Taylor´s friends hid from him, we almost got attacked by a drunk dude (litterally went to shake his hand and he hung on) and then we found out we also got fleas from a couch we sat on at a house contact we had made earlier... don´t sit on sketchy couches pro tip.
However, it was a miraclous week.
Other Randomness:
--> "No Satan and Santa are not the same person"
--> Esoooooo
--> Missionaries were featured at the Stake Christmas Devotional
--> "La pila ya esta lista" (leading to an invitation to get baptized that same day)
--> "No Mormon does not have 40 wives... read the book and you'll see"
--> I learned how to whistle
--> Ate a literal Pirranah looking fish (called a Dorado?)
--> "Si o No", "Should I send a Pic?", "Sometimes when you Bomb you hit civilians" one-liners from Stringam
--> Cake and Cain
--> 1 Mil Empanadas
Finally, this week I finished the Book of Mormon in Spanish. And I love the emphasis that Moroni puts on the power of the Book of Mormon. I promise the Book of Mormon has the power to connect us to the Spirit which in turns connects us to the Savior. READ :)
Yours Truly,
Elder Ralphs
