This has been a pretty fantastic week, funny to the point that you want to tear your hair out. It seems like all of our investigators have one personality-trait in common: they talk soo much. It can sometimes be a little bit frustrating, but when I think about it it's actually pretty funny. Either God is messing with us or he knows what kind of people we need to teach, for us to grow and because the investigators need it too.
We have one investigator, Valdir, who is a little bit quieter, but some random guy name Marcos that lives in the same house decided that he wanted to participate in our lessons too. I've included a dialogue to illustrate some of the things we hear when we visit them.
1st scenario
E. Vawdrey: "So, Valdir, what do you know about the Creation of the world?"
Valdir: "Well, God created the Earth and put Adam and Eve with the animals in the garden--" (abrupt interruption).
Marcos: "Yeah, God created the Earth with the four elements: water, fire, air, and...
E. Zolet: "And earth."
Marcos: (Ignoring Elder Zolet) "And life. Yeah, that's what's up, life's the fourth element."
2nd scenario
E. Zolet: "So here in this scripture it says that we partake of the bread and wine, but nowadays we use water instead of wine."
Marcos: "Alright, that's chill, no problem. God'll forgive you."
These are some of the people that we're teaching. It's been an absolute treat. We have a few baptismal dates set for these next few weeks, which should bring some great results. Gotta finish off well!
Much Love,
Jack-O
