Well this week was...... interesting. (in a good way if you were wondering) Here are some of my Highlights:
1.
We had this weird stuff for lunch one day. It`s called quinoa and yeah
it looks like super tiny fish eggs with this weird steamy stuff in it.
It tasted alright but the texture was Absolutely Horrible. I was able to
down it and kept working that day. Well the next day I didn't eat
breakfast and we went and ate rice and meat. Well let`s just say I
didn't end up keeping that down and then we found out that it was because of
the quinoa and so now I don`t have to eat that stuff anymore (*Fist
pump*) .
2. I received a package from Sister Ganem this week
(thanks a ton!) and in it was a bunch of letters from the young women
which was awesome! But I think that the highlight in it was the "Green
eggs and Ham" book inside from the Bishopric(which I guess was changed
recently) But inside they changed it from "Sam-I-am" to "Elder Garbett-
I am." It was super Hilarious and I absolutely love it. A big shout out
to the Old bishopric! I love you Guys!
3. I found out that
Elder Salazar has prescription glasses and that he does not like to use
them at all. So whenever he goes into a different room in our room (like
the other elders study room or the bathroom) I pull up a chair open my
scriptures to some random page and put on his glasses (like on the
lower part of my nose so I don`t have to look through them) and just
stare and wait for him to leave the room. Every single time he comes out he literally dies of laughter and falls on the floor. But hey, I look
good in those glasses.
Ok This week went by
how it usually does (excepto que yo vomitè) But yesterday was especially
different. We were walking to an appointment with one of our members and
we received a call from a random number. Elder Salazar answered it and
it was an old investigator from about six transfers ago. She said that
she wanted to meet with us again and take the lessons. So we got a date
and then hung up. Well about one minute later she called us back and
said that she "forgot" (how could you forget something like this?!?!?!?)
to tell us that she knows (key word: KNOW) that the Book of Mormon is
true and that she wants us to baptize her and she gave us a date also!
(when I heard that I had to ask Elder Salazar if I was actually
understanding his Spanish and made him tell me in English also) Well we
went and found her and had a meeting with her and we ended up setting
her baptism date for the 25th. Just a literal mind blown! I have no
idea why she just dropped into our lap and said baptize me but let me
just say that she is one of the chosen ones that God has been preparing
and she is ready to make these covenants with him.
I love you guys and miss you tons,
Elder Garbett
I look good in these glasses don't I?
