today is my first transfer! im staying here in Toboso with my companion! im pretty grateful for this area its really awesome!
I have 3 stories this week. the nights are kind of hard sometimes because it gets dark at like 5 and most people are asleep by like 7 or 8. so the other night we were looking for people to talk to and we found a family out looking for there child, and we offered to help them. we said a prayer and then we were able to find this kid!! it was really crazy and reminded me of the story of the lost sheep.
the other day we were walking out to a more bukid wild part of our area and i stepped in some mud and i ended up being covered in mud everywhere. so we walked to a well nearby and asked an old lady outside if we good barrow some water to wash off my arms and face and shirt and shoes. she was like oy very very dirty! and then she used the water in her bucket to wash my arms and feet. it was a really interesting experience. i dont love it when people touch me but it was still kind of cool. she is baptist and it reminded me of when the saviour washed his apostles feet. she didnt want to come to church, but she was doing a good job of following Jesus example.
later that night it was pretty late and we were walking back and we passed by this passed out drunk guy. we helped him up and he was in really bad shape. his jaw kept making loud popping sounds. we had no idea what to do because his house was pretty far the other direction and we couldn't carry him. we started looking for people to help. and then a tricycle came! it was a miracle because they dont usually go out there. tricycles are like motorcycles with sidecars welded on. he helped us out and i had to hold the drunk guy up so he didnt fall out. and my companion had to push us up some hills because the road was so rough but we made it to his house and it was really cool. that reminded me of the good Samaritan.
It was really cool this week to look for similarities to jesus life in the bible. it is really helps you always remember him. so you should all look for those miracles in your lives! it is awesome! i know the church is true i love you all!
