This week has been great. I have learned so much. I got humbled this week, and it hit me in the face like a ton of bricks. It was awesome. So this past week i thought i was starting to understand everyone in Spanish and becoming very understanding of the language. And every lesson we taught I could understand almost everything, And i was getting confident in my Spanish. Then this Sunday I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying. I was even having a hard time understanding my companion.
It just goes to show that we need to humble our self to god. If we trust in him, and recognize everything he does for us and helps us with we will be so blessed and he will help us in so many ways we cant even imagine.
So yesterday was just kind of a funny day. We had our neighbor come over to are house and ask for a ride so he could take his sick grandson to his grandmas house. And we cant give people rides because it is against the rules we have. So he was trying for like a hour to get us to give him a ride and we kept telling him we couldn't. He then told us he is baptist and he loves god and Christ, and the god wouldn't be mad at us if we took a right instead of a left.
So as soon as he realized that we weren't going to give him a ride he started to talk doctrine with us. He told us he studied the bible for about twelve years and pretty much knows the thing from front to back. And he kept trying to tell us what we believe in and saying that the Book of Mormon was just a book we had taken from the bible. And we tried to explain to him but he wasn't having any of that. It was one of the funniest things that has happened on my mission. And after talking for a little while he trys to explain to us when Moses walked on the water. And we told him Moses parted the Red Sea and Jesus was the one that walked on water. He said he was testing us. But he was lying about studying the bible for 12 years.
People here are so funny. I am loving the people more and more every single day. They are so loving and willing to do anything for us. There is no where in the world i would rather be then here spreading the word of god. I love you all and hope you guys have a great week
Love Elder Peterson
