well this week was a good week. it was a little tough cause eveyone in our pench came down with the cold, one at a time. and so that was tough to sleep and to work with along with my toe killing me all week. but some how we got through it and now all of us are healthier and happy and doing good. the really problem continued with the hermanas when last night a big fight broke out between all of them and and we got a call with one of them crying not being able to speak really and she speaks spanish so even harder to understand her. but we finally got out of her that one of the hermanas was in this arguement and fell against the wall with her eyes rolled back and slid to the floor... she had fainted. and would not wake up and was have a very hard time breathing and all of them were freaking out!! so we stopped the next taxi that passed by us and got in and went to there apartment to calm things down and give the hermana a blessing. we got there and the hermana had woken back up and was now in bed resting. so we went in and gave her a blessing and it was really spiritual and after we talked to the other hermanas as calm and nice as possible but still dropping cane on them for acting like such little girls and acting like there age. one of them is 32, another is 25 another is 24 and he one that fainted is 23. like please!!! and that was the last phone call crying we got for the week of like 10 others that we got during the week. and today it continued till just barely we had to go buy a bus ticket so that the one who fainted can go home tomorrow and end her mision a week earlier. and it is sad cause she is not and was not even the problem. she started the same time that i did. but it has to happen i guess... it sad but what can you do... the problem leaves next week. so that will be good. but it sounds like i will probably be dropping and going somewhere else.
aside from that, we had a great week. it is true that with sacrifice and prayer comes great rewards. even with being sick and a super painful toe and my comp being sick we went out and worked this week and had a great week. we found some really amazing people and continued working with some of the people that we had and continued to help them to progress. gustavo, our miracle continues to be great. he lives out side of our area but we are still teaching him casue the ward he would be going to the bishop does like having baptisms and is making members go inactive. but this week we talked about joseph smith and he told us he believes it ad knows it to be pure truth and that we have need for a prophet today and said he knows that he is a true prophet today thomas monson. and the bom is true also. it was amazing and he has not smoked, drake, or done cocaine all week. and feels alot better for it to. he could not come to church yesterday cause his family owns a big bread factory and he had to work... but he is still good and doing great.
then we found this 20 year old kid named nicolas. he is awesome!! he lives all the values of the church and looks and talks like he is a missionary or an r.m. he is way cool. and i gave him the book of mormon and was explaining it to him and how important it is to me and in my life and he was rubbing the cover and started to cry. and told us he never has felt this burning in his chest and his heart pounding like that and said he knew it was true. he said right before we knocked the door he was talking about the holy ghost and the role that is plays... how it works if it is the god of all truth... and testifies of the truth. and BAM we knocked the door. he said he wants to get baptized and stuff so we are working on all that right now with him. it was awesome!!!
we also found some other really great people that accepted to be baptized and elder fowler and i put the goal to baptize 10 people next transfer if we are together just in our area. it is amazing cause we have the people and we made plans to work even harder every day. to leave earlier and come home later. to take full advantage of our time and do everything possible to force god to bless us from our labors. it is going to be great... but the AP´s came to work with us this week. and we talked a little about our futures in the mission. and it is sounding like i will probably drop as a zone leader, then the following transfer go up as an assistant to help bring in the new president and help the mission continue on during that change. which would be alot of fun i think and a great experience for me!!! i am not how sure i want that or anything. i want to stay here with fowler. but i know some things need to happen and would be good. i dont know what will take place but we will see. and i will keep talking to them. really i dont care what i do. just want to work and do whatever to help. if that means to be an assistant so be it.... if it means to drop and help a troubled elder or tough area so be it.... or stay as a zone leader. whatever is what i have just started saying. i dont have anymore preference cause i know what i want i probably wont get. haha but working with the APs we had some good success and saw more miracles and had alot of fun together i was comps with one of them and the other i know very well. so it was all a great time.
well that is about it for this week. all is going great down here with me. i am learning alot and feel i am growing everyday. please let me know as soon as possible what you can about school and that stuff. we have an apartment found and all that good stuff going well. one elder was just told he may not be able to get into UVU so please let me know what is happening there so i can figure something out of what i can do. i got the card and bought a new camera thankyou!! yeah it would not work, so i had to go to the atm and in my checking account it said i only had 175 dollars. so i checked my savings and i think that was where all the money was so i had to take it out and pay with cash. bu it is a good camera, very similar to what i had before. thankyou for that. i still have alot of questions about school and all that stuff. it kinda worries me, i know i dont need to be worried. but it is something on my mind how i will do it all... but its ok, things will work out. if you could let me know what is happening that would be great.
i love you all so much!! your in my prayers daily. i hope things continue to go well for you all and that you are all happy and safe and healthy. any new news on the family like babies or names or anything like that is alway appreciated. love you have a good week!!!
con amor
elder bigelow
