Hola Familia
OK! FAMILY! I LOVE YOU.... and other persons.. You're in my heavenly family so you apply as well..
I posted some pictures.. some of which you have to find all of the vienna sausages.. some of which.. I don't remember what I posted.. So check them out!
This last week was pretty intense and very miraculous..
I was feeling pretty 'under the weather' if you will.. this week. So I'm trying to recover.. this week we had 8 lessons going into saturday.. and not a whole lot of hope to reach our goals.. Saturday morning, still under the weather-- we decided we needed to give it a chance! I told Elder Fullmer, I believe we can put 12 lessons in today. We Concurred and prayed hard for help... (Most companionships don't get 12 in a week.. or even 2 weeks)... Headed out with a Fierce Hope and Faith! we contacted like crazy and taught people on the street.. saying prayers and sharing scriptures and testimonies like madmen... 8 lessons before noon... .. later that night we had 2 more, and made contact with 6 new investigators.. 1 new burmese family, who is familiar with the gospel as they have met with missionaries before.. :) we got our final lessons on Sunday to reach our goal.. and 17 'Other lessons" which is the most I've ever had in a week before.. so that's a cool thing? Also- the Burmese progressed, they're loving the scriptures, and praying for help.. and most importantly, recieving answers and growing testimonies.. :)
On a lighter note... Elder Fullmer and I contacted a guy named Joey... Joey was stoned out of this universe.. and absolutely roasted in his brain... During our lesson he siezed up and keeeled over- Gently in to a patch of grass... if we hadn't stopped him to talk, he would have smashed his head onto the sidewalk. We're saving lives already.. hahaha... He turned out ok.. he just had the munchies real bad and headed off to a local 7-11 for some bugels I'm sure.
The Lord has blessed me so much.. it's nuts.. I actually remember things I study? can you imagine that?! ... I got a chance to study out of the Old Testament this week... reading parts of Jeremiah, the lord comforting him as he was overwhelmed with his call... Job, as the Lord trusted his faith and he overcame his trials to be triumphant over satan... and Joshua who promises the Lord's protection to those who are faithful... Read your scriptures people.. they will change your life! You will love them, if you live them.
Also- Cool thing, Elder Fullmer is from Circleville' UT and he's completely oblivious to most things in the world.. you should have seen his face when we contacted Joey, and also a few people who were so stoned on hallucenogens.. it was so funny.. .then when he finally attempted to recognize it.. he was like "This guy is stoned".. and I said "No, this guy has autism"... hahahaha... oh the sheltered.. :) (This Paragraph and the one about Joey are probably not even missionary appropriate, so disregard them. Thank you)
The Church is true! I love it. Keep praying for me I need it.. I hate being sick.. :P BUT I"M GOOD, don't worry.. I'll take care of myself.. Sister Wie (whom I live with) definitely mothers us. She made me drink some strange liquid substance yesterday... it seemed to do.. something.. I'll have to give your contact info to her, she'll contact you!
Life is good... Don't ever pass up an opportunity to build your testimony, I love you guys so much.. Always remember what matters most.
-Love elder hill
