Wassup homies hope everyone had a good Easter. Here in Colombia everyone is Catholic so everyone celebrates the Holy Week, which basically means get drunk, just like every other Holiday.
We had a drunk guy almost attack me and Elder Piñate this week. He was talking ABSOLUTE nonsense to us about random things. So we just kept walking away from him, but he kept following us! He was so drunk he could barely stand up. He had to hold on to us to keep from falling over. We tried to cross the only big road in Lorica to get away from him, but somehow he stumbled his way through traffic and found us again. He wouldn't leave us alone. Elder Piñate was about to punch the guy cus he was pushing him around and stuff, but eventually we just ran home lol.
There's this thing here that a lot of Elders in my Zone have started to do and it's collect stickers! There is this type of chocolate here called Jet, and every bar comes with a sticker of a nature thing, like a plant or bug or mammal, or idk biodiversity stuff. My friend Elder Robison will buy a 24 pack of this chocolate every week to get these stickers. He has a sticker book (!!!) to collect all the stickers that they have. All the gringos talk about stickers all the time, there's so much sticker hype, its unreal.
I was talking to this 15 year old member and she says that she and her group of friends make up "The Combo". I thought that was pretty neat.
We went to the beach last Monday and chilled as a District which was fun!
We didn't have water in our house for like 2 days which was funny.
Today alone I broke 2 things which has been fun. I broke a pipe in our house which is a long story, and a computer that I was on in this Internet cafe FELL off the table, idk how, maybe I'm just dumb. Probably.
This week we had a couple of spiritual experiences. One of them was finding a man named Carlos. Carlos actually found us. He called over to us as we were walking down the street and we set up a time to come visit with him again. We come back to visit him and he tells us that he was an investigator 3 years ago, but he moved and didnt tell the missionaries, but he kept his Book of Mormon and read it for a long time until someone stole it. He told us that he wants nothing more in his life than to be a part of this Church. Something we don{t get a lot. He told us that he was not married to the woman he lived with so we informed him that he would need to get married to get baptized. He told us straist up: I'm going to get baptized this next Sunday. Maybe he was just drunk, but maybe he felt the spirit so strongly with us in out meeting after not meeting with the missionaries for a long time that he really felt this desire to do all the things he told us he would do. So that was pretty neat.
Another simple thing that happened is that weve been working with a Lady named Edubijes a lot. We have been praying for her to feel the spirit in our lessons and when she reads. This week when we met with her she told us that she has been feeling the spirit so strongly and that this has been the best Holy Week of her life.
Love the mish, love life. Hope you homies are staying homies! Love you all
