Spencer's Semana 22

Monday, September 23, 2013

 

I lost track of the weeks! But this week was a weird one! We started off on fire! We had our numbers up soooo high within the first two days! We were just teaching and finding like crazy and then about Thursday it all crashed! Man all our appointments cancelled and just dumb stuff like that made it kind of a bummer!

 

Elder Rodriguez and I had some pretty crazy run-ins with a Pentecostal man! haha He was listening to us teach about the restoration and he would go off on a rant after every word we said because it was contrary to his beliefs. Then in the midst of one of his rants he said,"tenemos que respectar los otros religiones!" which means we need to respect the other religions. So once I could squeeze in one word I said sir I love what you said about how we need to respect other religions. Here we are teaching our beliefs. If you would like to ask us questions about our beliefs please by all means do so but could you please let us share our message? Or something along those lines and he kind of shut up after that! Until he found another thing to rant about. Then Elder Rodriguez came in with a knock out punch and had him read a scripture that talked about the great apostasy. The man was silent. I was so proud of mi hijo!

 

After that we went to visit a referral that we had received a time before. So we went and a chaparito came out and told us to leave because he worships God like this and we worship God the other way. While saying this waving his hands in the air... haha So then we had to investigate what his problem was :P We ended up just leaving and then as we were getting into the car his dad or something came out all 300 pounds of him and just yelled at us to never come back and I walked right up to him saying, "Sir do we have a problem?!?! " haha Elder Rodriguez thought I was about to get into a fight so he came over too. So from this point of the story we commenced to talk to the guy and figure out why he had such a hate for us. Well by the end of our lengthy conversation that was held yelling across his front lawn he agreed to have us over in a couple of days to visit with him! haha That's how we do! #WEDEFUSEBOMBSINLOSFRESNOS

 

But yeah that was cool. We still have not received a committed answer from the Ibarra family :/ And the mom is avoiding us so that isn't good. And by the way friends and family thanks for the emails! I didn't have enough time to read them all so I will try to asap! Thanks for all you do for me and for showing me I really do have friends! 

 

Con mucho amor,

Elder Mckee!

p.s. We are going to play soccer today! Hooray! haha :P
