Ok this week started out a little rough... but i have to say we picked up the slack for sure! After being robbed last week, we just felt like we needed to move. We couldn't find a new room, so we stayed with the other elders for two days, we were thinking about moving into this room that we found that was super cheap, but the guy was never there!! so i got on my knees and said a prayer, " if the guy isnt there the next time we pass by, we aren't supposed to live there!" Right when i said that a white house popped into my head, i couldnt figure out what house it was... we passed by and the guy wasn't there, so i was like "well elder Boyd we arent supposed to live here!", he was like "why"?, so i told him that i prayed and he said, "ok thats fine".... so we kept looking, we went to one house that i swore it was, but they wouldn't budge on their super high price!! i was sooo sad with my self... but i knew i just had to have faith! as we walked up to the other elders house i looked at the side wall of thier house... and i was like "wait a minute..." "we need to talk to the owners of the bottom floor" and guess what happened!!!! it turned the owner was a member, they said that we could live there!!! They were super helpful and loving!! gosh, what a blessing and a tender mercy of my lord and savior Jesus Christ!! now we have a beautiful and big room! with two bathrooms, a walkin closet and beautiful church paintings everywhere!! we dedicated our room and i cant tell you how happy i am to be in our new place! From now on I will dedicated every place i live, because i know that i can feel the spirit that much more, as if i am protected in my home! my testimony grew so much through that experience!
The language is sooo hard!! haha i mess up a lot, but i think it is sooo funny when i do and i just fix it and keep moving on! I know through hard work, I will learn to be a great spanish speaker and an even greater missionary who the spirit can speak through!!
We had an opportunity to bless a baby too! the baby was really sick and they wanted our help! it was super awesome and i couldn't help but to be overwhelmed with joy. Joy, that i am worthy enough to have the preisthood and use it when ever i need too. I am soo thankful for the example of you, dad, and the manner in which you used your priesthood and showed me the importance of it! thank you so much!
This week i got to study in the book of Daniel from the bible. holy cow that guy was sooo brave!! I look up to him so much! I would encourage you to read his story about the lions den and apply it to your life! its amazing! i have also learned how to forgive, not only others but myself! i have had a weight lifted this week as i really studied hard and really turned to my savior! through this i have come to realize that everything happens for experience, that we have hard times to grow from and to make us better! i am thankful for my hardships and the way it has molded me and how i will use them to help my future family and the decisions i make in the future as well! i am eternally greatful for the ETERNAL atonement and the ability i have to always repent and make that a something that i treasure! I have also been focusing on the sacrement, making it a spiritual experience and become recommitted each time! i have felt the blessings of doing this sooo much and i know that you all can too!
A few things from this week:
1. I tripped and faced planted on the stairs, it was awesome!!! i couldnt stop laughing! my comp said he thought i got shot hahahha!!
2. Be greatfull for your lawn mowers!! there was a lady cutting her grass yesterday with basically huge scissors!! she was bent over cutting away!!
3. Then i got a door slammed in my face haha! there was this kid that came to the door and we were looking for his brother and he said he wasnt there. so i asked him his name and he said "david, i said sweet and then i told him i liked his looney tunes shirt and he was just like "why do you guys always push your religion on people?" and i basically sat there for a second and smiled and was like, "this pamphlet is for you, its about our church." he gave a horrible glare and slammed the door on my face!!! i couldn't stop laughing!! and we decided he needs a friend, so we are going to go back every day to visit him.
