We went through the whole teaching pool ....

this last week...well actually for mor than that I have really had the problems hittin us and I am not going to lie I have had my testimony tried...
sometimes you will be hit sooooo hard that it is obviously a trial and even though it is hard you know it’s a trial, and other times it is sooo subtle that some don’t realize its commin...well I can promise that if you do no more than follow the bounds the Lord has set you will see and be ready for everything. we literally went though our entire teaching pool and...nothin...idk why, or what is going on...I have ideas but basically all the people got dropped, none of them really wanted to learn and as fun as it could be to chill with them that is not my calling because if they don’t want it someone else does. and we dropped everyone except for Fatima and Rodolfo and another guy named Gordo (fatty). and we went a tractin agin...well the week was rough but we worked and walked and walked and I am not going to lie walkin in TN right after a storm when there is water on the ground and its 90-95 degrees is not very fun...haha but we decided to smile anyways and we ended up knocking this door were a guy from Guatemala answered his name is Edwin and he is a boxer, he is a flyweight right now but is going up to the next weight class and is doing really good(he didn’t tell us about how he is doing but his mom had all the newspaper clippings and trophies and stuff in chronological order for us) and it was a good visit and we set an appt and because of the craziness of life missed it by a few min(he kinda lives in the boonies) and when we knocked his door he was on his way out but his aunt was there and saw us and asked if we could go in and give her a blessing... Edwin had to go but we stayed to talk with the aunt. she described what was some crazy illness that i cant even imagine what it could be and then asked for a blessing. right after the blessing she told us that the burning that she felt on her skin cooled down and that her heart stopped jumping and she didn’t hurt and felt a lot better. she actually lives in Nashville so the other elders are going to teach her and that is going to be sweet cus she is super excited to learn about the stuff of the gospel.
I really wish I could tell you all more about he week but I am about to get kicked off the comp...it was sooo sweet though...we found so many who are wanting to learn about the gospel.
i love you all family
