Elder Hirst week 80
10:27 AM
Monday- P day was fun, we had
interviews with president here in alicante, so a lot of the zone was able to
come down, and we played Futbol for like 4 hours and it was way fun. That
evening we talked with Jesus about really taking things seriously, and he admitted
he hadn't put any initiative forth but said he would start. Than we had a
family home evening with some of the ward.
Tuesday- we met with a less
active member Jaime that morning and he's doing so so awesome, he came to
church last week and he's been coming a lot. That evening was so crazy! Well, J
esus has been living with a member, and lets just say things weren't going
well with that. Well the member called us and wanted us to go over
quickly to his house so we did. Turns out, Jesus is a professional Con Man who
goes from city to city in spain, conning people for their money in some way or
another, and so here in alicante he had Conned a bunch of people. One of these
unhappy people knocked on the door of this member looking for Jesus (who had already
left) and his intentions were definitely... violent. So it turns out jesus has
fled and is most likely on his way to another city after having conned over
1,000 euros form people here in alicante. Hahaha, a pretty interesting
investigator, that's for sure! We also met with frank Lourdes and Erika and
they are doing so so well 
Wardhouse in Elche
Wednesday- we had a good day, we
were a able to help a less active who had also come to church the previous
sunday. He's having some difficulties but he's doing good. Then that
evening, we had lots of meetings with ward leaders and stuff and it went
well. Then we were able to meet with our recent convert angel, and he
continues doing great, he actually is going to pass the sacrament this sunday,
and the home teachers have been helping him a lot.
Thursday- We had weekly
planning, and then that evening we were able to meet with the other recent
convert, Blanca and she continues doing well, just issues health wise but she
is overcoming it. Then the hermanas needed us to teach their english
class, so we did so and it was fun, but man i dont like teaching English, it's
just hard. English is a hard language.
Friday- we had a zone conference
in Murcia, so we went down there and it was way fun. We learned a lot,
and we were able to see a ton of friends from the mission. We went back
and were able to teach frank Lourdes and Erika how to do a family home evening
and it went great.
Saturday- we invited frank wth
us to go play futbol with the ward, and it was way fun, we played in the rain
meaning lots of people fell and got slightly injured. Then that evening
we were able to teach a new investigator from Guinea Ecuatorial ( the only
spanish speaking country in Africa). There's actually a ton of people here from
there and we were able to teach her and it went great and set a return
appointment. Then we met with angel again and help him iron his white
shirt which he's going to wear this sunday, and tie a tie.
Well I'm super grateful for this
week, I was able to learn a ton and i continue seeing the lord work in me and
my life. I've truly seen the scripture in DyC 58:3 3 Ye cannot behold
with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning
those things which shall come hereafter... we may not understand the reason for
things now, but god has plan in everything
