I can feel changes...
Anything music related is more than well accepted here. I really feel there is a lot more I can do with my talents to further the work, and I just need to apply myself to it.
This week, we were looking at a house (because we really need to change houses now) and E. Ramirez saw some sort of light, and then a guy standing outside the house went into an epileptic seizure. We got him into the house and gave him a blessing. He was alright when we left, just sleeping. One of many spiritual experiences. I want to record more of those.
Also, this week we met a lady whose husband recently died. She didn`t seem to be too sad about it, but she did decide to gift me a complete suit with a really nice shirt and a tie. I was pretty surprised, actually. That combined with the two paires of used shoes I have been given lately is almost a whole complete wardrobe I have received out of the charity of other people. I`m sure they will be greatly blessed.
Bruno just doesn`t seem to feel the need for the gospel. He wants to improve his family and get closer to God, but he really doesn`t seem to feel the need to complete with commitments to do it. Hopefully that changes soon, but we´ll have to see. The other family seemed all good, except that they didn`t show up to church. I suppose it was a trial week. We`re gonna keep pushing forward though doing everything we can to improve, putting faith in Christ and that God knows what he`s doing.
Also, they`ve now sent another Elder to be companions with Elder Wilde, so now we´ll be dividing the area again, rearranging the beds, and letting the ward know we`re four instead of three again. It`s complicated, but I`m used to complications. It`s almost fun, to be honest.
I can feel changes up ahead, but of what kind and when, I don`t know. I can just feel that what I`m learning and experiencing now is preparation for something in the future. Whether true or not, I know I personally am changing. Hopefully in this period, we can manage to see a number of other people change their lives as well. It has been some time. It`s also a great experience to be a trainer. You get a whole different outlook on companions, missionary work, life and families...everything. I can`t wait until he has his first baptism.
Interviews and general conference are soon. I`m pretty excited, actually. There is no hunger for the word of God like the hunger you find on the mission. It`ll also be a great contacting opportunity, inviting people to hear a prophet of God. I`m also close to finishing the Book of Mormon again.
I`m glad everyone is safe. Take care, and enjoy every minute of family time possible.
Love,
Elder Lund
P.S. Elder Ramirez broke our water heater because he plugged it in outside of the water. It melted in his hands and almost burned his face off.
