So right now we are teaching this
familia that literally are amazing. They are super humble and are chosen... and
when I say they are chosen, I am not kidding. The Lord prepared this familia
like no other. They are the familia V. They are amazing... we love them so
much. There are five kids and then the wife. They live about a half hour away
from the center up into the mountains. They are so great, they just get it.
They have such an open mind and are so willing to do what the Lord has in store
for them They are looking to get dunked here in about 2 or 3 weeks. They came
to church this weekend and they came in ties and white shirts and all… hahaha
todod estaban pensando que eran miembro de la iglesia jjaja pero no son. So
everything is going great with them, so if you all can keep them in your
thoughts and prayers that would be great.
We are teaching about 8 right now that
are really progressing and are working towards getting baptized this month and early
next month. We literally are running with our heads cut off to get everything
done that we need to do each day. It’s so hot so we are dying. I carry around a
rag in my pocket as a sweat rag to somewhat try and stay dry... so funny story.
Well, not too funny but yah... so I always put the rag hanging out of my back
right pocket. So I didn’t think anything of it... well a huge gang banger mafia
type dude told us, “Listen make sure you never put that in your back left
pocket or you might have problems”.... didn’t even think about that! Gotta love
the people that are always looking out for you.
Okay another great story for the
week!
So the other elders here in our area
are teaching a woman... well come to find out they are big time high ups in the
drug world here and we didn’t even know it. So we were walking down the street
and a guy came up and talked to us. He started telling us that we need to tell
the other missionaries, and he knew there names, that they NEVER needed to go
back to such house at all. He told us all.. they had us stalked pretty much and
they knew that we went to the gym in the morning and all because some people
believe here that missionaries are like usa spies... so dumb right. But they
were making sure that we were not investigating the house and all of them. So
come to find out like that whole block where all the elders have been teaching
are total gang bangers and all. Now we can’t ever go back... crazy stuff! So
that was some exciting news... what else happened this week?
We are just trying to teach a lot and
get a lot done.. only 73 days more for Papi Long to get stuff done so I am
trying to make the most of each day. All is great. I am loving the mission more
than ever right now and we are doing big things. I am so happy to be an
instrument in the Lords work and I know this work is His work and not mine. All
is great, couldn’t be any hotter or happier, just making the most of every
day!
I am going to attach a few links of
videos that I love and that we are using a lot right now. Watch them and take
what you can from them please, they are great! Loves!
I LOVE YOU GUYS! MAKE IT A SPECIAL
WEEEK. LOVE YOU GUYS. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Long!
