This week was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had 2 FHE set up with some less active families working with them so
they can go through the temple...and so on Monday we passed by one of them...
the family Espinosa... and it was the little girls 8 yrs old birthday party...
they have four kids all under the age of 13... and so we thought we would do a
game with them... and relate it to the attonement
what we did was we bought some cookies and put a handful in a cup for
everybody everybody should have gotten about 8-10 cookies...
but the trick was that in order for them to eat there cookies Elder Brasher
had to do 1 pushup for every cookie that they had... we went to the first
kid(Nacho 6yrs) and he had 9 so elder brasher did 9 pushups... and nachos face
was priceless he was so sad that elder brasher had to do pushups for him... then
we went around the room and every body had about 9-10 then we get to the girl
who just turned 8 and she looks down at her cookies then looks up smiles and
said she had 20 cookies... then she started laughing... hahaha she like it when
elder brasher was doing pushups... anyway then we read out of Alma 7 with then
and compared it to The Attonement...
it went really great and the spirit was deffenently there...
Then we took it to wed and did it with another family that the mom was
baptized about 30 yrs ago and the dad 20 and the 2 kids are about 18-19 boy and
girl and they were baptized when they were 8... the daughter is so cool and has
a really strong testimoney one of the strongest i have seen here but the boy is
struggaling a little bit and is going to an envangelical church so we wanted to
mainly focus on him... and we get to the house and one of his friends from the
evangelical church is there... and we sat down and started talking well
listening to what this guy had to say and he was talking about alot of crazy
things... and we tried sharing something while he was there but it just wasnt
the place or time... and then eventually he left and then the daughter had
questions about some of the things he was saying and just about everybody was
trying to get there two words in and there opinion about the matter... then i
just told them that those things were not important and that our salvation didnt
depend on those things... we were able to teach our lesson again with the family
with out problems it went smooth and the spirit was really strong... then i
asked the family to think about what they were feeling and about how they felt
when we were talking about those crazy things... and all of them said that they
felt better and more peace when we were talking about the attonement of Jesus
Christ than when we were talking about non important things.... then i just
shared my testimony about the small and simple things...
We also have a baptism coming up on the 21st and then another on the
28
21 is a mom whos husband is a member and we found her on the inactive
list
28 is a guy Brasher and roberts found but then had to have surgery and was
never home but then me and brasher went back and he said he wanted to get
baptized
sorry i will explain more about them next week
