WEEK 37

This week is called "Let the Holy Spirit Guide" This week has been so weird. I prayed at the first of my mission that time would fly by because I wasn't enjoying myself here. Now, I regret that prayer! In 2 weeks I will have 9 months and that scares me super bad! But I guess thats how things are, time flies when you are having fun. This week I had a crazy experience. Yesterday, we were waiting for a family to get home so we were sitting outside on a block of concrete. All of a sudden, We hear some very naughty spanish words and so me and my comp look and this guys is all up in this ladies face and pushing her with a glass bottle. I was freaking out at this point and about to knock this guys lights out. The lady gets away from the guy and he throws the glass bottle at the ground and yells more spanish vulgarity! The family gets there just in time so we can start the lesson before I knock this guys lights out! During the whole lesson, the spirit was telling me to go see if the lady was okay and if she needed anything. When we finished the lesson, I went to go talk to the lady, but she was gone and I could only see a lady standing outside the house. I decided to follow the spirit and go talk to her. I tell her I didnt know why I was there or what I needed to say to her but I told her that we were missionaries and that God loves her. She ends up being a less active of more that 15 years. What the freak. Now we are going to teach her family. The girl that was getting pushed ended up being her daughter and the guy is her son in law. I am so glad I followed the spirt! This week has been amazing and I love the mission so much! I hope you are all good back home! I love you and miss you so much! Elder Garfield
