How Y'all doin?
Everything down here is great and we have had a funny and crazy week! For New years we didn't get to do anything fun we had to be in our house at like 6:30 because they didn't want anyone getting hurt by fire works or anything.
But this last week I had two funny/crazy things happen to me. First me and my comp were trying to find a referral that our Sisters gave to us. We found the address and walked up to the door. Right before we knocked on the door this little lady walked out. She asked who we were and what we were doing at her moms house. We told her we were looking for so and so, and she told us that was her brother and he didn't live here. She then proceed to tell us how everyone in this house was drunk and high, and everyone was having a good time. At this point we had walked with her in front of the house and we were talking to her on the lawn. She started to me and my comp that he name was Pam, and that she loved to drink and smoke weed!
She then asked my comp " Am I high, or do I love Jesus?" My comp just looks at me and says "Maybe a little bit of both?" She turned to him and just told him that she loved him and wanted us to pray with her. So we got together and held hands like all baptist or catholic people do we said a prayer. After she was crying and said thank you and started talking about who knows what.
Then her son walked up and started to talk to us. He started to talk about how he couldn't go to work because he has to have all of his medical proscriptions needed to be filled before he can go to work, and his work checks his paper work to see if they are filled or not and that he needed money to be able to go to work. So then we said a prayer with him about 10- 15 minutes later after he had explained everything. After he was very grateful we gave him a couple bucks and he sat and talked to us for a little while about what we do.
Then another person walked by and he said that it was Eddie his uncle ( Uncle Eddie) and he came and started to talk to us to! He started to talk to us about how god gave him the spirit of a tiger and that the devil could never take over his life and all this crazy stuff that I can't really remember. And then he started to talk about when we walk in the Army or something and his Cornell or who ever was over him cheated him out of all this stuff and got him kicked out. He went on for a good little while,and then he asked us for a blessing. We told him we could, and he wanted to have the blessing to be on his shoulder! He kept telling my comp to put his hand on his shoulder ad bless it. So we told him that we would just say a prayer with him. He told us to do what we had to.
So my comp said another prayer with his had on his guys shoulder. After he started talking about his tiger spirit again and then he just walked off told us he loved us and went inside the house! We just kind of sat there for a good moment trying to understand everything that had just happened! That will be something that i will never forget!
A couple of weeks ago we had a investigator that we committed to baptism and was very excited about it. A week or two went by and we weren't able to see her because she had found a job, and she had no time with her 7 month old baby. So one day everything that we had fell through and we had no idea what we should do now or where to even go. We decided that we would try to call this lady and tell her that we were going to have to move her date back if she wanted to be baptized! Right before we called her, we got a text from her saying that she is very sorry that we couldn't come by these past couple of weeks. She told us the she would do whatever it took to be able to be baptized this week. So we headed straight over to her house and got everything figured out. We still have to teach her like 6 lessons before Saturday and get a interview before then for her to be able to get baptized. She is very determined that she will be baptized this week and doesn't want to put it off anymore. And she came to church again so that was defiantly a blessing!
That is about all the fun and excitement that i had for this week. I hope y'all have a great week and always try to remember the lord more though out your day. I love and miss everyone and pray the best for you guys!
