So this week was super fun!! I had to say goodbye to good ole Lagos but this week was super cool with Elder Asturias that makes me excited for this next 6 weeks. Lots of interesting things have happened ever since he's came which is weird.
One really weird thing that happened was the first day he was here. We were walking back in the night from eating dinner when all of a sudden a taxi flies by us and is hauling! He all of a sudden swerves out of the way and we realize that he almost destroyed somebody on a motorcycle. The lights of the motorcycle swerve and looks like it slows down. Pauses for a second and then gets back on its way but drifts over to the side of the road where we were walking and slows to a stop in front of us. They stop and take off their helmet and it's a woman that's about 30ish years old. She gives out her hand to greet us and we shake her hand and ask what her name was. Without responding, she places her helmet back on and get's back to wherever she was going. My comp and I stand there puzzled and my comp asks me if I know her. I didn't have a clue and neither did my comp. We walked back home super confused.
Another interesting thing. The Jehovah's witnesses came to our house while I was studying. My comp was in the shower and I answered the door but left the screen door shut. They began to preach to me and I sat there listening. They read some scriptures and asked some questions. When I told them who we were they rushed their message and went on their way. I sat there thinking about what happened and it was a good experience because I got to experience what it's like to be on the other side. As I was talking to my comp about it I told him I found out what I needed to improve with my teaching. The weird thing is I just sat there and realized it was an answer to my prayers that I had said the night before. Never would I ever have thought that God would answer my prayers through the Jehovah's Witnesses but I am happy that he answered me. Prayers are answered. ALWAYS! But normally in the way that we aren't expecting. With our daily study of the scriptures and praying we will be able to find answers and help every single day. I have loved being able to read the scriptures specifically the Book of Mormon and recieve comfort and happiness. Last night we were talking with some members and sharing scriptures that we loved and that help in life. As we did that I was super happy to see that the members were truly "Feasting upon the words of Christ" and finding scriptures to help them feel peace and comfort. READ THE SCRIPTURES! Go find your favorite scripture and share it with the fam or friends. If you don't have one, well nows the perfect time to find one ;) The Scriptures have Power!
Love you all and have a great week!
