First of all we has the awesome opportunity to go to the Temple with our zone and another one from Luque! In the other zone was my trainer, Elder Fielding. It was really good to get to see him again and catch up. I learned so much in the Temple. And it was all around a good experience.
Next we had a service project with a member. We chopped a tree down with machetes= super fun! Until my companion cut himself. jaja We went to the hospital and he got 3 stitches. We had to pay $500,000.00 guaranis which is about $100 dollars. I offered my super glue but he didnt dig that idea. jaja
This week we were walking down this highway and there was a lady on a motorcycle that hit a speedbump going about 40mps. She wiped out and slid for about 20 yards. We were the first ones to get to her. Almost all of her body was one big road rash and she must have hit her head because she had a massive bulge on her head and where the bulge was there was no hair, just a bloody mess.
After running to get to her she was just whispering Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We just stuck with her until someone else could come and help her. She wanted to go to the hospital but she didn't want to leave her motorcycle, she wanted to drive it to the hospital. I told her no because she was probably concussed, if not worse. Other people heard me tell her no and they weren't really happy with me. They started yelling at me and told me to leave and let her do what she wants. So I did what they asked and left. She hopped on her moto and left. I hope nothing else happened.
Last of all, We had a lesson with one of our investgater who was absolutely hammered. We asked him if he had been drinking and he told us no but he definately was. I asked him if I could smell his "coke", he told me that I probably shouldnt. I asked him why and he said "because you'll know that I'm lying". Drunk people are so dumb. jaja We asked him if he'd like to change his life and he said yes. I told him to pour out his alcohol and after looking at me for a good couple minutes not saying anything, he stood up and poured out his alcohol. It was very surprising but so awesome at the same time. I couldn't help but smile.
I sure hope he progresses. I guess we will see.
This week we also get to skype with the fam and im super stoked to see em!! I'm going to hit a year here in a couple weeks, that means after this week I only get to skype 2 more times!! Its flying by!!
I hope you all have a great week!! I love you guys!!
