I have some pretty cool news this week. Last Thursday at lunch, we were eating soup like normal before the main course. I was stirring the chicken and rice and meat. While I was eating I came across this dark piece of meat and didn't know what it was. I looked at it closely and saw it. I was about to say to Elder Woolf when Elder Levi confirmed my fear. ´´Oh wow, el corazon del pollo, muy rico´´. Yep it was a CHICKEN HEART. I didn't know what I was going to do with it. So I popped it in my mouth. GROSS. JK It was really good actualy. A little tough because its a muscle that is always working, but I liked it. AWESOME huh?
I also have some other news. Last Saturday I baptized my first person! It was so great. Funny thing though. I haven't been teaching her. I was on an intercambio last Thursday with Elder Levi and she was his investigator, but while I was with him and we taught a lesson, she asked if I would baptize her on Saturday.
Here is a miracle from my past week.
We are teaching a Menos Activo named Heleman. His wife has been really sick and staying at her mother´s house for the past month so we haven´t been able to meet her until yesterday. We knocked on the door and Heleman came out with a big smile and said he couldn´t go to church yesterday because of a big surprise. His wife had come home and we were able to teach a lesson to both of them for the first time. It was probably the best lesson, and most spiritual that I´ve had since being here. Carolina is the shyest person I have ever met. She was so nervous just sitting there. We taught about the Restoration. We taught about prayer and being able to receive an answer to your prayers and questions. We taught that the Gospel is the way back to Heavenly Father and will bless her family. We both testified by the power of the Spirit and I felt that we spoke with absolute power and conviction. I know she felt the Spirit but her wall is probably tighter and thicker than Fort Knox. However, I know we at least cracked a hole through it. We then asked Heleman to offer the closing prayer and then if we asked to just sit in meditation and feel the Spirit answer our questions. Wow what a feeling that was! I don´t know if I´ve ever felt the Spirit more strongly than when we were meditating. I am so excited to continue to work with her and see this through to the end and when she gets baptized.
So a few quick tips. Any box that you send, make sure it is not too big. They will rip open big packages. I also think that you have to write what is in it on the outside of the box for customs. DON’T WRITE EVERyTHING THAT’S IN THERE ON THE OUTSIDE. Other than that, just refer to my last tips for packages.
The work is progressing here as quickly as it can. I am working like a fool. Sweating everyday and walking at least 5 miles a day just to get to the edge of my area. Its been great. I have never been happier. Thanks for all of you love and support. God bless you all. Love Always, Elder Kalen Indiana Jones
