so our zone meeting last week was incredible. really cool. the whole meeting i literally felt like i was just listening to myself as i talked. and after i couldnt remember anything i said. =) so thats always a good sign=) haha but it really was a great meeting. we watched the video at Christmas.Mormon.Org. if you havent watched it, WATCH IT NOW. its amazing.
but the meeting ended with a spontaneous testimony meeting that we hadnt planned but at the end felt that we needed to do. and it was amazing. a lot of fun. i love those meetings. always a blast.
i learned something though, presentation tip, if you have to give a talk or talk infront of a group of people, wear classy, nice, but plain clothing. because if its too catchy, they will spend half their time looking at what youre wearing and not at what you are saying... learned that after during the testimony of an elder all i could do was look at his tie. hahaha so i speak from experience=)
So now the really cool stuff=)
so we had an activity with the youth in the ward where they went out on divisions with us and some other elders and just worked. it was really fun. well the friend of a member wanted to come, hes not a member. well come on in then!!! hahaha well as he and my comp walked in the street along with a young mens leader, they committed him to baptism!! hahahaha how funny is that=) he asked when he can be baptized and they kinda let him choose the date, he chose the 27 of this month=) so we are really pumped. the 21 we are going to finally have our own church again!!!! for the last nine months they have been building it and now i get to see it!!! i got to go in last night, we are the only people he has let see it. but it is awesome!!!! all really really nice and just super cool.
then we had yet again another amazing experience. we went to an investigator and she was saying how she wants to quit smoking but has never been quite able to do it. well we talked about the word of wisdom and starting showing her how it was going to help her in her life. well the lesson ended with this... =) we were talking about how she was going to quit and i said, so you can take this temptation out of your life, will you give us your cigarrettes right now?? and she got up, went in, and handed em to us!!!!!!!!! we threw them in a field after the lesson! but it was awesome!!!!!!!
then we had a less active who we just baptized his little sisters that bore his testimony yesterday and made everyone cry. it was amazing. he just thanked them that they say hi now with a smile because before they didnt do it and thanked us for the work we are doing. that his family is changing a lot and oh!!!!!! his mom is going to get baptized!!!!! they cant be married here until february but they are going to go to another state like 9 hours away and get married up there!!! i love that family with all my heart Familia Gaite. they are the best. =) they love and take care of us=)
gotta go!!!
