HESSSS BACK!!!!!!

Alright well imma get right to it.  Heres the week for the blog:

First off, pharmacies are nooooothing like the pharmacies in the states here.... well first off there are legal pharmacies and illegal pharmacies here, i think you know what i mean, and we will just talk today about the legal ones, which are still crazy enough.  So theres no such thing as prescriptions for medicine here.  If you want something, you can just straight up buy it (again, both legally and illegally....) so we went with a member last night who wasnt feeling too good to the pharmacy across the street from his house, and he asked for acetominofen (after lots of practice i can actually pronounce that medicine name pretty well in spanish, im not even sure how you say it in english) and another medicine, and then the pharmacist told him to go to the back behind the little checkout desk... He goes back and we see just his feet thourgh a dorrway as he lies down on one of those doctor bed things, just without the sanitary paper on top.  Then the guy openes up a box on a shelf and takes out a GIANT needle, like the size (and shape too actually) of a mega squirt gun, and goes back through the doorway.  We then hear a scream, see the feet kick up, and they both walk out, our member friend limping and holding his side, but thanking the guy......  So ya haha i have no idea what went down exactly, i think ive just learned to not even be surprised by stuff like that every day here in Colombia, just part of the whole different way of life down here!!

Aright we had a wayyy interesting experience in a lesson this week!!!  Ok, we had lots, but one i will talk about right now!!  We were teaching a lady for the first time, a lady with lots of questions.  More than anything, she said she wanted to change her life and wanted to stop drinking, which she now realizes has been harmful in her life... so i had a ton of ideas of what to teach spinning around in my head, but honestly didtn love any of the ideas... so i prayed and asked what we should teach her... My comp and i started talking about the word of wisdom, and she just got really confused.  Then, trying to follow the Spirit, we felt like we should just, even though it didnt make any sense, felt like we should invite her to be baptized.  She had even said she was already baptized in the catholic church when se was a baby, and wed probably have to explain the restored authority and all that.... but we invited her to be baptized anyways, and the anwer was INCREDIBLE!!!!  She didnt just say yes, but she went on and on saying how that was EXACLTY the little push she needed in her life to start making the changes she wants!!!  It was amazing!!!

Asì que, es cierto todo lo que se dice de los susurros del Espìritu.  Aunque no tengan sentido, ni parezcan posibles, las cosas que el Espìritu nos aconseja que hagamos, simpre cumpliremos con la voluntad del Señor al hacerlo!  Yo vi un ejemplo perfecto de esa idea esta semana!  Sè que se requiere mucha fe, pero El Señor ha puesto la confianza en nosotros, Èl sabe que reconoceremos esos susurros, y si nosobros solamente demostramos esa fe en los demàs tambièn, ellos vendràn a Cristo.  Comparto este testimonio mio en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen.

les amo

nos vemos
