We had a party with the trio life as usual, although our wrestling did result in some minor injuries this week. We found a lot of cool people again! On Wednesday we were going to stop by someone who’d expressed interest before any of us were here. We pulled into the driveway and stopped to pray before going up. As Elder Sika was praying I see a man with a gnarly black eye walking towards us! We finished the prayer quick and hopped out of the car. The man was actually super cool and really humble. He hadn’t drank in 3 years, but slipped up the other day. His friend, who was driving, was drinking too and crashed. Luckily no one else was hurt, but our friend got his black eye and some bad damage around his eye. He wanted to make changes and even come to church, then we showed up! We met his girlfriend and their 2 little kids, as well as one of their family friends! We are teaching them now and hope they will be able to come to church next week! :)
I fell down the stairs in the Machias Elders apartment this week. Let’s just say, trying to stand and hang from a little wood ledge isn’t a great idea, and if you do so, make sure you are careful when you try to step back onto the stairs....
We saw K. this week again and she’s been having a rough time. We had a super good visit, but she didn’t make it to church.
We have lots of people right now who are working on having real intent. I like to say “God’s not in the entertainment business.” If you want an answer, really pray and don’t give up, God wants to change you and help you if you put some faith in. :)
Hope you all have a bueno weeko (semana)
