Week 37

Well. As I am sure all of you know, this week was general conference, when we get to hear from the prophet and the apostles and all the awesome people. I watched Saturday in English, but on Sunday it was in Spanish, as the internet wasn’t working. It was really cool, but kind of odd hearing only Spanish without voice overs, and that the apostles voice over guys sound so weird.

We did a lot of preparation for the general conference, most of this week was inviting people to general conference, but we did have a funny story with our investigator named Jerinson

We were talking about joseph smith, and he asked why Joseph Smith had failed if he was sent from God. We were confused, and asked him to elaborate. Well, he told us that if the mission for Joseph Smith was to spread the gospel to all the earth, he had failed, as he had not preached it to everyone. We said that his mission was to reestablish the church, and to translate the book of Mormon, and that the mission of the church as a whole is to preach the gospel to all the world. So he looks at us kind of weird, than asks us why no is out preaching this gospel to everyone. Me and my comp looked at each other a bit weirdly, and then I just pointed to my comp and me while my comp said, "uhh, we are kind of doing that right now, with you, and everyone we can". And you could almost see the lightbulb go off in the investigators head of "duhhhhhh". So that was kind of funny.

We also were contacting up the wazoo, so that was ok, just hard, as this was semana santa, and that means that everyone and their mother are in the interior of the country. Also, that there are a lot of catholic processions. Which, just observing them, entails some person carrying a cross and a bunch of people following the dude with a cross. It was odd.

And, also, I made brownies for my bishop, and he loved them. So good times.

Have a great week!!
