Hey family,
This week was good but it wasn’t the best week that I have
had ha-ha.
My district is doing great, lots of baptismal interviews
were done this week so that made me happy that everyone baptized but the bad
news is that our baptism fell through.
We marked an appointment Friday to do the interview and
everything but he called and said that his mom won’t let him be baptized. We
then said a prayer and we felt that we should go to the house and talk with his
mom. We talked to her and testified of lots of things, the Spirit was present
testifying to her but she still wants to think about it and talk with her
husband.
The boy that wants to be baptized is Matheus and he is 14,
while we were talking to her he came and he just started balling, he wants to
be baptized so bad and he has been going to church for like 6 months and
already has made a ton of friends in the church, so we decided that we would
just talk with his mom every day this week and pray for them.
But when it rains it pours, the very same night that the he
baptism fell through, we went home exhausted just wanting to sleep, I laid down in my bed at 10 and the wood fell underneath the
bed and made a ton of noise, I sat up in my bed to fix it and more wood fell
making more noise, and then suddenly the owner of the apartments knocked on our
door screaming at us and cursing telling us that we had to leave, this bothered
me a ton, he didn’t even let us explain about what happened. I don’t know if he
has problems with our religion or if he had problems with the other missionaries
but I have never done anything against him.
I then put my mattress on the floor and slept on the floor
because I was afraid that maybe more wood would fall. The next morning I called
the office asking to trade houses because he has just been cursing at us for
dumb reasons like this, so we spent the rest of the week looking for a house,
but it think that we found a house that is bigger and isn’t an apartment were
if wood from my bed falls we get yelled at.
But this week will be a new week and when we endure
challenges in life with patience, the Lord always blesses.
Sounds pretty crazy with all the hurricanes in the states, I
hope that everyone is well,
Miss you all
Have a great week
Elder Toma
