Triscodekophobia

Well this week included Friday the thirteenth in October, and Elder Selinger decided to celebrate. Because supposedly "triscodekophobia" (no idea if I spelled that right,) is the fear of friday the thirteenth or something and that's like his favorite word. And when we all got back to the house friday night, the power had gone out. It was too perfect. So we shot a couple horror movies. We'll see if I can get them to send. Also a few other cool things happened this week so here you go.

One funny/spiritual (?) experience happened a couple days ago. An appointment had fell through and we didn't know what to do, so my comp suggested we say a prayer and ask what to do. Right after I finished the prayer, literally within half a second, our phone rang. It was the zone leaders, and they told us they had our new beds and they needed help getting into our house and moving the old beds and stuff. So not exactly the answer we were looking for, but it was still cool and it gave us something to do.

The other experience that stood out this week was a family we started teaching, the Olmos family. Or basically just the mom and her 21ish year old daughter. They're super friendly, but also super active in their church. But we talked to them about the restauration and invited them to read the Book of mormon, and they had a bunch of questions and it was an awesome lesson. When we came back to visit them, the daughter Alejandra had read some of the Book of Mormon, which was cool, but she started telling us that we had basically put doubts in their minds about their church. They seemed really stressed about it, I almost felt bad. But we testified that if they read the book of mormon and prayed about it, they would know our church is true, even if it would be a hard change. And then Alejandra turned to her mom and said "creo que vamos a hacer una semana de oracion y ayuno" (or, they're going to be fasting and praying this week to find out). So we obviously got really excited about that. If they get an answer, they'll be some awesome members with awesome testimonies. So I hope you can all help us out in praying that they get that answer. We'll let you know how that goes next week.

But thats all for now, love you all! I also have some good pics this week, don't worry.
