The Ruin of Drugs
this week was good sorry so much happens everyweek that i
can never remember everything. we went on exchanges this week. me and my
district leader. it was really good. we had some interesting experiences. the
first was meeting an insane man... we were finding and we heard someone yelling
from a house off to the side of the dirt road that we were on. He kept saying
"Halik ka" which means "come hear". he was kind of far away
so we weren't sure whether he was yelling at us or someone else. we decided to
go and see. as we got closer to the house we found that he was inside of a
wooden cage next to the house. befor we got too close his mom came out and
explained that he is sick and told us that we shouldn't go too close to his
wooden cell. She invited us to meet/talk with him and we followed her to the
front of his cell. It was really sad she told us that he was a 4 year college
grad. but had overdosed on drugs and it had messed up his brain. when we talked
with him it was like talking to a 4 year old child. He was super hyper active.
he couldn't sit still and he was super bipolar. as we tried to talk with him he
at one moment would cry and ask to be healed by christ then the next minuet he
would jump up and scream jehova witness songs at the top of his voice. His
mother and father had to build and put him in the cage/cell that he was in. She
told us that he never comes out. they give him everything he needs and he has
his own bathroom and water. so the moral of this story is: don't do drugs.
follow the word of wisdom.
Rain!
the second interesting experience was running home in
pouring rain + ankle deep water. haha we got back completely soaked. nothing on
us was dry! It rained so hard there were no trycees so we had to run! haha it
is a good thing it is warm here! haha!
The Promise of a
New Start
This week we also taught the car mechanic guy (Helario)
it was another great lesson and experience. we extended a baptismal invitation
to him and he accepted it. he was a bit worried that he wouldn't be ready
because he has commited a lot of sins and has a lot to repent of and give up.
but we know he can do it and through his faith Heavenly Father will bless him
and his family.
this week we also had fun surviving! haha our gas tank
ran out of gas and we had to buy a new one and we ran out of rice and meat on
friday! Patay! we are all scraping up the pesos! haha this week all we bought
was meat,rice,vegitables and fruit. we didn't buy any canned food or snacks. we
just need to make it to next monday (withdraw day)
