A Gifted Bible & Two Drunks

This week was pretty fun. There's always something new here in El Carmen. Even if it seems like my week was boring, it's probably just because I was too lazy to write much. But here are a few details from this week:

We started teaching this old shoemaker dude. He's way cool and really fun to visit. One time we shared a scripture with him from the Bible and it shocked him that we actually do use the Bible. After explaining to him that the Book of Mormon is NOT the only thing we study, he asked us if we could somehow we could get him a Bible, because the only thing he had in his house was the old Book of Mormon we gave him weeks ago. We were able to get him a simple copy of the Bible and when we brought him his "gift" he started crying and thanking us from the bottom of his heart. That absolutely made my week.

Saturday night we more or less finished our day and it was pretty late, but all of our appointments from then-on had fallen through. Without anything solid planned, we just started talking to people in the street. We met 2 older guys who were COMPLETELY drunk. I've met a lot, I mean a LOT of drunk guys in my mission but these dudes took the cake. We spent about 30 minutes just chatting and yelling with them about literally anything that came up haha it was so fun.

Every week I learn something new and give thanks to my Father in Heaven that He still hasn't given up on me yet. I know He loves each and every one of you and that He will NEVER give up on you either.

Keep On Keepin' On...
