This week was interestingly smooth. Everything seemed to work out well, we were meeting with most of our investigators consistently especially Jaroslaw everyday and his demeanor and happiness was increasing everyday. He has a date for next week, so thats exciting. He's made a ton of progress. Other than that, just a lot of tender mercies happening.
For example, we might lost contact with a former investigator and another one was responding to us when we tried to call. buuuutt, we ran into both of them while walking on the street this week, one right outside the chapel!! haha
Another crazy evening occured. We watched "Meet the Mormons" for Family Night with a couple of our investigators. The spirit was present and they were all pretty impressed, even so that one of them hersefl came up with the idea to recommit to her date on the 12th and follow the baptismal calender with assigned readings that we gave her!! It was so cool, her name is Mariola. Then she said the prayer and everyone and everything in that moment just seemed so stress-free and happy. Then we all parted ways and we went to catch a bus home. At this bus stop, Elder Mulder and I were conversing and just in time I turned my to see this old lady walking off a bus. She stepped on the ground started walking and then she just kept leaning forward and her feet couldn't catch up, and just face planted on the cement!!...Immediately, We sprinted over, I kknelt down and rolled her over slowly so she was face up and saw that her glasses has shattered and she had a huge gash on her eyebrow with blood oosing out onto her face. Everybody started crowding around and then miraculously, a "random" ambulance was passsing by not even 10 seconds after this had happened, Saw the gathering and commotion and stopped and were able to take over from there. Ha random conicidence right?...I don't think so. Anyways, they tried helping the lady that is totally just messed up from face planting on the concrete. But then the ladies family or friends would not allow them, and then a fight broke out with screaming and shouting between the two parties as they Literally played tug of war with this old lady trying to aid her. This was the excuse of her drunk friends" Shes just a little drunk, she'll be fine, she doesn't need no hospital, etc..." (totally disregarding the fact that she was crying, totally had a concussion, maybe even some brain damage and a gash above her eyes that needed stitches) Then the old lady started repeating in dumb drunk language that she didn't want to go in the ambulance. I was so annoyed I pretty much told everybody just to BE QUIET, and at least let them wipe the blood up and test her for concussion/brain damage, they silently backed off and allowed that to happen. Then we left as everything had simmered down.
How Great were the Words of the Prophet of God on this Earth in this recent general conference. THE WORD OF WISDOM. It was again a night and Day display of evidence for us. How going from the light and truths, protection and happiness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, to the drastic difference and damage of lies, deciet and distractions of the Devil. The Word of Wisdom is God's word, I invite all to try to live it and continue to live it to see the blessings and happiness both spiritually and temporarly it WILL bring into your life.
I was wonderering why the prophet spoke so blatantly and focused on this topic. Now I know why. Our world needs it. Listen to the prophet's voice. Listen to God, your loving Heavenly Father.
