Yup. I have a son now. His name is Elder Haymond. Hes from Arizona.
and hes awesome. We are having just too good of a time.
I forgot to say what BOSS means haha.
Baptize
On
Sixth
Saturday.
Like we met him, and from the point we met him he was baptized as soon as
he could be baptized. It was cool.
Are you guys going to send me fudge?
cuz I want fudge.
Or you can send me the recipe because we have a stove and I think thats all
we need to make it right? I wanna give my son a good Christmas.
So we couldnt find a turkey.. So we bought a whole chicken instead!
and 4 tacos de sibera! Which are like tacos with cheese, chicken, and guacamole.
So we went pretty hard on the chicken haha.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Elder Harrison
Yup.
Im a father now.
Its pretty sweet haha.
My newbies name is Elder Haymond and he is awesome! Hes from Arizona, 18,
and graduated in 2014! which is 2 years after I graduated haha. Which is
toootally wierd!
But yeah It was awesome to be in the trainers meeting before we got our
companions, because all the other trainers were like ex zone leaders and
assistants to the president, and it made me feel awesome to be there with all of
them. Since President realized that putting everyone as a trainer for fun wasnt
a good idea because alot of missionaries werent getting trained, hes been
putting like all the zone leaders down to train. and other trainers that have
trained like a bunch of times already. It was cool. I feel special haha
Anyways my comp had a super intersting first week! haha
So the family of the grandma that I planched the other day was a tad upset
and said they werent going to let Renata come to church for the moment because
she had been acting out and being disrespectful to her grandma. So that kinda
ticked me off because theyre members and they like dont understand the
importance of going to church and theyre using it as a punishment. But then we
saw Renata a few days later and she said that her mom was really sick. So we
went and grabbed a member and gave her a blessing. She said it was the first
blessing that she has recived in her whole life. The spirit was soooo powerful.
It was awesome. Her attitude changed and Im thinking that this following sunday
theyre going to come again. We passed the family off to the bishop saying that
there wasnt really anything else that we could do to help them, but that wed be
around if there was. He said hed start sending people from the ward and see if
they have more progress than us.
After we gave the blessing the cranky grandma from last week was outside
the house so I went and talked to her and apologized for my attitude and she
said that after this sunday they wouldnt miss any more church sooo... Im pretty
sure my words got to her.
More than that, yesterday was a funny day. We went to pick up an
investigator to take him to church, and there he was sitting out front of his
house, and he was drunk as a skunk. I asked if he had drunk and he said no, but
as he got up he had a bottle hidden behind his back. I was surpised with how
functional he was after all the beer. Because the bottles are pretty big bottles
here haha.
So we took him to church anyways haha. Sat him down in the back and just
let him sit there. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was gonna be, and he brought
one of his kids with him so that was good. We said that we´d go by later to talk
to him after church, with a brother from the ward named Hermano Zavala. Who is
the ward mission leader. He brought his guitar and we went around giving a
christmas message to evryone! It was super powerful! He sang a song and then we
read out of Luke when christ was born and then we explained the spirit and
christmas and the atonement and it was just awesome! We went to our drunk
friends house and he wasnt there but his wife was and we talked to her and she
let us come in and give our message to her. The spirit was super strong and even
when Drunk Raymundo came in (our investigator) the spirit wasnt completely
abolished and we were able to invite her and her niece to baptism and she said
yes! and she said that shes going to help her husband stop drinking so that he
can be baptised too!! It was like the first time ive seen interest from her and
she wants to be baptized now! It was like the most awesome lesson ever!
For thanksgiving we bought a chicken, that was awesome. and 4 chicken
tacos. so we went hard on the chicken that day haha.
So yeah it was an awesome week!
Anyways thats the highlights from the week!
I love you all and hope you have a good week!
Love
Elder Harrison
