We had a good lesson with B. about Ether 12 like 6 or something. How we need a trial of our faith. it’s not just believing and then we went over James 1:16 “faith with out works is dead.” it is true how anything is possible with faith. i never really thought about how the world was created though perfect faith. But it makes sense. Priesthood power depends on our faith and God and Jesus have perfect faith.
We eat at members often. Most of the members here are South American. We have Spanish food occasionally though. it’s pretty good. Well actually i’m never quite sure where the food is from, but i can take a good guess. Everyone gives us orange Fanta or Coke. and i kind of like Coke now. i’ve never had dulce de leche here.- we made arroz con leche with the nutella and it was quite good. We are going to make more from that cookbook.
Sounds like a fun night with Ana. Empanadas are quite good. it’ll be fun that i will be able to talk to Ana in Spanish when i get back. Weather here is still good-sunny. it did rain last week though. Sounds like you are making progress with family history and the researching and references. That is good. Maybe Madrid will make a bid for 2024. That would be fun. We do have hot water again, so that is good. Sounds like a good concert . i wonder what will happen in conference.
Exciting things are happening. The Filipino family is being baptized the 28th of September!!!!!! And Ba. the Chinese man is being baptized October 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We set both of those fechas yesterday, so it was an amazing day.
So first about the Filipino family. We have not been able to meet with them much because work has started again and they do not have much time. But we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ after church and invited them to be baptized! Well actually the dad wasn’t there because he was working. But his schedule will change soon because they are opening a new store. So we are praying he will have Sundays off as well has M., who is looking for a job so we are praying she will find one where she doesn’t have to work of Sundays. But the cousin doesn’t work on Sundays. And the kid doesn’t either. They are such a cool family. The kid reads on his own, he loves primary. They are all praying and reading when they have time. So cool.
B, he is always gone on the weekends to another city with friends. So he never came to church, but we had a lesson about how church is important (before he just thought it was something we do because he doesn’t really have a christian background) and he committed to come to church. Before he just said we will see if i am here. But he prays every day, and reads. He has been to church once before. He also had a dream that he was baptized by apostles and then after they laid their hands on his head, and we had never talked about that before. So then we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ as well and he accepted to be baptized. He is such a cool guy. So that is really exciting.
So with the activity a way cool thing happened. So the family we used for the celestial room decided to become sealed in the temple!! it was a way cool activity. So we are meeting with a 90 year old spaniard. Most old spaniards will talk to you on the street, but they are pretty firmly Catholic, but she is listening and quite interactive during the lessons. She is quite funny. She still jokes around. When we were leaving she and her taker (who is menos activa which is how we found them, we called the menus activa) and she just pushed her wheel chair, not ride in it the 90 year old pushed it around. So M. (the menos activa that is friends with the filipino family) we met just with her the other day and she tried to invite another filipino family over but they couldn’t come. But she is so cool. She wants to share the gospel so much. So we are going to meet this Friday with this other Filipino family as well. She is such a good missionary. She understands how members should work with missionaries.
So one random note, i poked a random guy in the face on the metro. i was reaching back for the bar and i poked. him. But he laughed afterward so all was well. And it is sad that Madrid lost the Olympic bid. Dang Tokyo, but they will win 2024. So all will be well. There are now 8 missionaries in this ward. it’s kind of crazy. there were 4 when i came here: 4 elders and 4 hermanas. And there are 11 in the other ward that shares the chapel. So 19 missionaries for the one chapel. Kind of crazy. Well that is about all from this week.
That is sweet BYU beat Texas!!!!! There is still hope for the season. That can still end in the top 25 for the year. That would still be good. Sounds like we still need a good passing qb though. BYU better beat Utah. it’s been too long since we have. Has the Fed Ex cup ended for golf? Who is number one is football? Hopefully not Alabama. To bad Madrid didn’t get the Olympics. Maybe they will make a bid for 2024. That would be good.
That’s not too good with the weather. Weather has still been fine here. Temperatures are dropping a bit. i think it rained last week, but not too hard. That would be kind of funny if you worked at the same place as Adam Coomer. So i guess you can see Greg the whole game them?
Sounds like quite the crowded car. But Bruno doesn’t move too much in the car though. Just sit on mom. i’d like for Peyton to win the Superbowl. i’m assuming they beat Baltimore then?
Maybe the iPhone will be 3d! Probably not, just small changes. i’ve had soda so much i like it lots more because i never really had it before. i kind of like coke also. We have that all the time as well. Sounds like a fun night with Ana.
Basically for investigators on how to help them know if Joseph Smith was a prophet is through the Book of Mormon. There’s a good section in chapter 5 of Preach My Gospel called something like ‘Resolving problems through the Book of Mormon. Well have a nice week.
Well i love you all. Have a dandy week.
Love Elder Jason Kinghorn
