Speaking My Own Language

Jaydan went on Divisions again this week with the Zone Leaders and they went a whole lot better than the ones last week with the District Leaders. They were able to find some good investigators since Elder Longshore saidd thiers were dropped. Elder Longshore went to Utah State for football and redshirted with Jaron Hadley. (they might have even roomed together) Elder Longshore had Jaydan bear his testimony to a lady about prayer and "what not" and Jaydan spoke the worst Spanish ever. He didn't understand it, the lady didn't, no one did. (I think Heavenly Father understood him though.....heck HE's the Father and understand all) After Jaydan said whatever he did the lady said "Yo no entendia una palabra que dijiste" which means: I did not understand one word you said but then she said she has never felt the spirit that strong in her life and so Jaydan was glad that she at least felt the spirit since that is what will touch people's lives. That was the highlight of the division.

Jaydan is the biggest eater. They ate at a members house and Jaydan had 6 plates. He said it was ridiculous and afterwards him and his comp both felt sick. Jaydan was afraid he might puke and even that he might loose it out "the basement". (haha...never heard it put like that) They ended up taking a nap to let all the food settle. Jaydan said that helped a little and when his comp asked how he felt Jaydan said a little better but he thought they should go out and teach because he knew they would be blessed if they did. He said the sickness went away while they were out doing the Lords work but returned when they got back. He thought was a cool experience of being blessed while doing the Lords work.

The President and the Ap's came around to all the area's instead of having everyone go to Montevideo to meet. Jaydan thinks he must have passed the interviews. Jaydan was able to talk about his small home town where he grew up and the similarities they have and he really enjoyed it.

This week Jaydan was able to find some "sick" as in awesome people. They had 6 investigators in church which ws sweet. The had the three Pintos boys that are getting baptized on Saturday. They said that they wanted Jaydan to baptize them. (one said he wanted the other missionary but Jaydan gets to baptize them all anyway) Jaydan is really Excited about that! The father of the Pintos family just needs to quit smoking so he can be baptized too. The dad wants to be baptized in the river like Jesus and Jaydan said that when he is ready "Why not?" They have a few more that need to attend another meeting still to qualify for baptism.

The first change is coming up and Jaydan is excited to see what happens with him.

Jaydan said the fruit is way different in shape and sizes.

Jaydan can't believe how strong the Power of Prayer is! It's Awesome!

They are teaching a girl that found a Book of Mormon in her home and started reading it on her own. She is pretty much doing everything on her own and Jaydan hopes she will be a good influence on her family.
