I have been here officially one month! I have had wonderful
experiences and other where I would probably not choose to experience again.
Surprisingly it has been pretty dry this week. That is nice
because when it rains the bottom of my pants get covered in mud. But at the
same time I enjoy it when it rains because it is a lot cooler and our shower
will have water. Today my companion went to take a shower and a couple drips
came out. SO we had to go to the District Leaders house and take a shower.
While we were there we played Risk the board game. That was really fun. And yes
I totally kicked everyone’s butts, and I did not throw the board over in slight
frustration. No, I seriously didn't.
Usually this river is crystal clear but it is brown after it is rains
We ran into our first "bible bash" yesterday.
It was really weird because she was standing on her balcony on the second floor
and we on the street with a ton of cars and buses going by. We could barely
hear her and she was also a Jehovah Witness. So basically all we could do was
bear our testimony and go on our way.
We are contacting a lot of families that seem really
interested, so that has been really awesome to experience. I can just imagine
them dressed in all in white and taking upon them the name of Christ and be forever
blessed. That is why I am here. To bring all other unto Christ so that they can
be saved, receive eternal happiness, and live with God and their families after
this life.
Elder Itza is a horse. Elder Itza said to say that, I don’t
know why, but he can be really weird sometimes. Alright, a lot of the time.
It is really sad when we are teaching people and we feel the
spirit and we know they feel the spirit. But they choose for some reason not to
continue lessons with us. But everyone has agency, everyone has the right to
choose.
I was reading in the Liahona the other day and I can’t
remember which apostle said it, but he talked about how the action of a
butterfly breaking out of its cocoon is necessary. Because without the
action and experience then the butterfly could not fly and survive in the
world. I thought that was a really good point and how we all need opposition in
life. Because through those experiences we can grow, and be better people. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can stand back up when we have fallen
and continue on the path.
Always Choose the Right!
-Elder Keller
