K so the work is going really well. We are reallly having some great success. Elder SCott and I are having a lot of fun working together and are great friends. We had exchanges for a day this lst week and i went with Elder Arthur into spanish land. LIke two people the whole time spoke english so it was definetly a treat for me, always trying to figure out what was going on. We ran into one family and they were wheeling around a man that looked dead, his arms and legs were down to the bone and he was extremely weak, they asked us to give him his last rights and so we said we could give him a blessing and they told us to come back the next day at eleven so i didnt go but Elder Arthur and his companion Elder Mcdonald went the next day and in this experience is where the lesson lies. They showed up twenty minutes late (11:20) and the man had already passed away, he had died 15 min before they showed up, if they would have been on time they would have been they to give him a blessing and to share a message with all the family in there instead they showed up to see the man lying there with no life in him. Super sad. It goes to show you why you need to be on time for appointments, the precious time we have here in life, the quality to know that we do live after this life and will see our family again and the fact that when the lord needs something to be done he puts his servants in the right places at the right times to give comfort to those who stand in comfort and to help those in need of it. Later that day we ran into the brothers of christ headquarters. They are missionaries for life always walking around in all white with no purse or script and they always are going and spreading the love. THey follow a man named Lightning Amen and for them he is Jesus Christ, to explain this he is Jesus's spirit reincarnated into Lightnings body. So we went and shared our message and they shared theirs and we had diner with them. So we had the opportunity to break bread with his disciples it was definetly the experience of a lifetime. They sang their hyms and prayers for us and we just had a cool experience sharing our faith, we didnt get to meet Lightning himself his back was hurting but it was something most missionaries here really want to say they have done and im pretty sure we're the only ones to have broke bread with them. But yeah we have had a lot of luck tracting and have been able to talk to a lot of people. We are just continuing to grow spiritually. Im getting close to finishing Jesus the CHrist and the message and the expounding upon the basic things that Ive read before bring so much more understanding about Jesus and the symbolism and just everything that ive never realized even though ive read it before. I would extend a comitment to all of you to read it! I love you all, the support i get is so tremendous! I have the best family/ friends.
