This was a pretty normal week for us! Nothing too exciting happened. Plus it's only Saturday... We usually email on Mondays but the library is going to be closed on Monday so we had to email today!
On Tuesday we had to go up to McAllen and get a hitch for our car so we would can put a bike rack on our car. We had to wait at the mechanic forever! It sucked. And when we were waiting the news was on. I hated hearing about all the awful things going on in the world right now. I'm glad that I'm a missionary right now and don't have to deal with any of that!
On Thursday we went to try and find a member that just moved into our area. We were driving around forever and finally found them. We got out of the car and walked toward their garage where the member was working on a car. He yelled at us to stop walking and ran into the house. He came back like two minutes later with a gun and started yelling at us. Elder Davis was like we're just the missionaries! The member was like oh my gosh I'm so sorry guys I couldn't see you and thought you were someone else. I was pretty scared!! But it was all good. He told us that he lives in the middle of nowhere and a lot of people try to rob his house so he gets a little jumpy! But it was all good!
Yesterday we had a pretty cool experience. We went to go and visit one of our investigatiors who is awesome. But he wasn't there so we were a little sad and went to try and visit someone else but the things with the second person didn't work out either so we decided to say a prayer because it was only 7 and we were already out of things to do for the day. So we prayed and I felt like we needed to go back to the first investigator. When elder Davis asked where we needed to go I just said I don't know because I didn't want to go back because we had just been there. Elder Davis said he felt like we needed to go visit one of the first investigator's neighbors. So we went back to the neighborhood of our investigator and when we were driving there he pulled out in front of us! It was a surprise and we went to his house and taught him. He has a lot of problems but he knows that the church can help him and he is going to be at church tomorrow and is already starting to change his life so much! That little excperince taught me to listen to the spirit! The Lord knows where we need to go a lot better than I do. I just have to listen!!
Well this is the last week of the transfer. I hope that I stay. We will find our next Sunday if one of us leaves. Most likely elder Davis will leave. But you never know. I hope you are all having an amazing Valentines Day!!!! I love you all!
Love, ELder Hurst
