| My flight on a small plane that was awesome |
 |
| and yeah it rains a lot at my appartment
|
I have only 20 more minutes!!!! 1 hr to email and read everything is soooo tough!
So first miracle! My companion
is Elder Keller from Arizona and he is a probably, from what i have
seen the hardest working one out there in our mission.
 |
| my first companion- Elder Keller |
He is now
district leader so I get to call lots of people and write down the
numbers and it is just good stuff. K since Elder Perrine and I arrived
it has rained and rained and rained! So much rain and it never stops! I
love it though it is so pretty and the leaves are starting to turn!
There are oregon duck fans EVERYWHERE! Perrine got assigned down in
Klamath and I am right in Eugene! We have a car that we take everywhere
and I spend a good chunk of the day driving so I feel like I am not
doing Real missionary work. I guess it is just different than other
missions. We teach all the spanish people so we have to drive accross
town for different appointments and we are not really supposed to just
talk to the english people. So we will see how it goes. It was sad to
see my comp of the last 6 weeks go. I love that guy!
Second miracle happened the
first day. Amazing experience, so I was going tracting with my new
Companion, who is boss because he just abandons me on the door step so
that I can grow outside my comfort zone! Anyway and we rode our bikes
right past a lady sitting on her porch. A bit further down the street we
looked at eachother and felt impressed to return to talk to that lady!
So we did and turned around and we met Paloma! She is a pretty old lady
who just barely moved from Peru like a week ago and she could not speak a
word of english! That is why we have spanish elders in Eugene OR! It
was great to talk to her she was talking to us about how much darkness
there is in the world right now and that people are just not following
the word of god anymore. So I got to place my first BOM in the mission
field! It was a great first day experience and just got me pumped for
the mission.
I finally have met a ton of our investigators and I love them
already. The food that we have eaten so far is awesome stuff. That latin
food in america is better than anything I had in the comedor in Mexico!
So we run every morning and it is pretty chily. So about mail send it
to the mission office. I forgot the address but you have it right? Yeah
just send it there and they forward it to me.
I met Elias who is just the
funniest guy and thinks that zombies are real and we got to teach him
about the ressurection. It turned out to be a funny lesson because of
the zombie factor... Focus people!!!
So what i figured is that missionaries need members to be present
at their lessons and WE need to be there to help them or else we cannot
teach! So be there for them! So many people we cannot teach because we
need another male to enter the home. So support the localsmissionaries
and see if you can get in on some of their lessons.
Our branch is mini! We had maybe 40 people at church and It felt so
empty in this big chapel. the songs were weak but the testimony s of
the people were so strong and I cannot wait to get involved and make
more of a difference.
One of our investigators was asking us about our mission life and
asked when we would be able to use electricity again! haha soo funny. We
teach lots of lessons in english as well and it is hard to transition. I
will start switching back adn forth and it is noo good! Oh bible
bashing is of the devil but it is lots of fun I want to tell youmore
about that one later but gotta go.
someone send me scrip mastery list please?!! thanks
Love ya lots
-Elder Allen
