A VERY SPECIAL PENNY (2/10/14)

So this week some weird stuff happened but other than that everything is coming along the same. Trying to get our investigators who have already accepted the invitation to be baptised to come to church or get married (lots of people live together and call eachother husband and wife without actually getting married) so they can actually be baptised. Also this week we did find some really cool people to teach and I was hardly sick at all! My companion on the other hand has had a really bad cold...and everyday he is a little more ready to go home (he has 1 month left) so that is rough sometimes.

 

Also a man approached us in the Street one day and asked us a few questions and then asked if we would be willing to meet with him and talk more... duh... so then the next day we went to his house and started talking with him but really he just rambled on for like an hour about this special coin he had (which was a carbon or silver or iron, US penny from 1945). He told us it was over 15 million years old and was one of a kind, the entire US gov is searching for it, and when in the right hands it can predict the future. He told us he predicted the Tsunami in New York and showed us tons of drawings he´s done and weird stuff... and then proceeded to tell us that since he´s found the coin his family life has been terrible. We tried to tell him to ditch the penny and follow Jesúscriso... but he is pretty set on his beliefs in this penny. He was pretty crazy but also very respectful and nice.

 

Also a woman got hit by a car right in front of our apartment. We heard a crash and looked out the window and there was a woman laying on the sidewalk/Street bleeding a little bit. We rushed to undo all of our locks (there are a few) but by the time we got the door opened there was already a crowd of people there. An ambulence came like 3 minutes later and took her away, she had a pretty beat up leg but she was thankfully okay.

 

It´s also already hitting the 90´s so we´ll see what the weather is like in a month or two. yikes.

 

But that´s about it!

 

Les extraño y quiero mucho
