First off, I was lame and didn't really take any pictures this week. Sorry, I know you're just devestated. Next week I should have a lot though!
Sunday was the skype call to the family, and that was awesome. It was kinda weird, though, cause I wasn't counting down the days like last time. It just kinda popped up by surprise, like "Hey, maybe I should tell my family what time we'll be skyping tomorrow" hahaha. But it was great to talk to the family, and I can't wait to do it again in December!
Funny little thing from this week: I had a little language blooper when I was telling the others that we needed to go buy "papel higenico" (Toilet Paper) for the house, but I accidentally mixed "higenico" with "unigenito" (Only Begotten, as in the Only begotten Son), so I was telling them we needed to go buy the Only Begotten Toilet Paper hahaha. Oops :)
This weekend is transfers! Know what that means? Today (being Pday) we took basically the whole morning doing a deep cleaning of the house and scrubbing everything down to prepare for the big groups that will be coming through, both the "Going Home" group and the "Newbie" group from the CCM (MTC). We've been washing sheets and blankets since like Tuesday or Wednesday just for all the 18ish beds haha but we're excited to help!
A neat little spiritual experience from this week happened yesterday; We were in a lesson with an investigator, and he had brought 2 of his friends to listen to us. One was an Evangelist, and when he found out that we were "Mormons," he told us that the Book of Mormon was of the Devil and written by men and things like that. But nevertheless, he still stayed and listened to us. As we read one of the chapters about Christ's visit to the Americas out loud, they were all nodding their heads and making comments of agreement, and the Spirit was strong. It was really neat to show them, through reading, that it's not a book of the devil but really is Another Testament Of Jesus Christ, and plainly testifies of him. I know that this incredible book is the truth, and it has blessed my life so much. It truly testifies of Christ and helps us know how we can become more like him, as we read it every day and apply it to our lives.
Have an incredible week!
Love,
Elder Stolle
P.S. A little quote I liked from Elder's Quorum this week, in basic translation: "We should live at the level of our testimony."
