WEEK 39
This week I call "Tears of... I dont really know"
Well this week has been super interesting! The days of this week have passed by like years and I have waited for this P Day for a while! I cant believe I will have 9 months tomorrow. The time has flown by so fast and I feel so old being here! Ha! But an experience I have had this week. Last week I believe I told you about the family in which I followed the spirit to find? Well If not, I will explain it next week. We passed by saturday this week and we find the mom and the husband, who was the one who threw the bottle, sitting outside and the wife crying. He gets out of his seat and yells to us "You are wasting your time with this family, they are good for nothing and never will be." We find out that the husband and been arguing with the wife about how lazy their kids are and how they are super disobedient. The husband wouldnt let us talk to the wife so we had to calm him down. I will be honest, I had a flash back from football because I wanted to put my fist through this guys head. He was so rude and so disrepectful. We teach him a little about the Plan of Salvation and how this life is meant to make mistakes and learn from them. He said he would better himself in time, which meant he didnt really want to change. I was so angry! I dont understand how someone can be so disrepectful and love their wife so less. We talk to the wife after and she tell us she doesnt know what to do with the family. I just look her in eyes, and with tears in mine, and hand her the "The family proclomation to the world" pamplet. She just looks at me and didnt understand why I was crying at first. I just told her, well tried with tears running down my face, that families are honestly the most important thing in the world and she deserves a family that makes her feel important. My comp talks to her and we planned another day to pass by here. I honestly can say that was a super hard moment of my mission. I am a ton of miles away from my family, the thing that is the most important thing in the world to me, and I have to help others with theirs. I wish everyone could understand how a family who is based upon the gospel is a family of love and peace, not of hate and fear. Well I know why I am here. I know I found that family to help them. I will do my best to help them have a better life! I love and miss you all! have a great week!
