"LOOK! I have garments too!"

this week has been crazy! i have an awesome funny story and a spiritual story....

funny story...
yesterday we visited an inactive family. there is an old grandma and her son who is like 50 and has mental problems. we were just there to read a scripture and invite them to church... so we did that and we were getting ready to close the visit with a song and prayer... so as i was pulling out my hymn book the man, carlos, comes and sits by me and says, in english (he likes to speak english... it never makes sense though haha) anyways, he says, "look, I have garments!" i couldnt understand what he said so i turned to him and asked "o que?" as i turned he pulls down his pants to show me!!! oh man... i turned to irma west on the other side of me and gave her a oh man help me look! so she chooses a hymn and we start to sing... well... start to try and sing! every time we would open our mouths we couldnt sing we could only laugh!! i started crying cause we were laughing so hard haha. it was horrible. we decided after trying to sing 5 times that it wasnt gonna happen and so we carlos volunteered to offer the closing prayer. oh man.... the prayer was a story in and of itself... but it was an interesting experience haha...

spiritual story...
remember the family that i talked about last week? with the kid carlos in a wheel chair? well, he is amazing! we marked him for baptism for this mothers day!!! (happy mothers day mom) but i dont even know what to say... i have seen him change over night! its awesome! he is eating the scriptures up and always has tons of questions! the other people in the family are the same so we are going to try and mark them this week. it is so awesome! i dont even know how to explain how i feel!! this work is AMAZING!! and a few scriptures come to mind when i think about how they are being converted not because of anything that we are doing but because of the spirit... look these up... they are awesome! 1 cor. 1:27, Jacob 4:6-7, Alma 26:12.

well, i love you all! thanks for everything! and talk to you next sunday!! have a great week!
