"A veces salgo"
First of all, loading my pictures into the emails isn't working super well lately. So after 15 months I have caved and made an album on google photos so that you guys can see all of my pictures. Feel free to join! I didn't put all of my pics from my whole mission in there, but theres a few. Heres the link
We met a guy from Madrid. He was kinda weird. He straight up said, "no creo en vosotros" 🤣 I am very very glad I was called to teach latinos.
Went to the beach last pday and threw the football around with some little kids. It was fun.
We were able to complete our goal of getting the entire familia chambergo baptized. Hermana Jacki was baptized this week. Meaning that 9/9 of the people that live in their house are now baptized. Super cool.
The ward primary program was yesterday. I think primary programs are the single greatest thing ever for missionary work. Church attendance tripled. Everyone brings their friends.
We had interveiws and I told president Giuria how I have been starting to think about life after the mission and stuff and how it's all stressfull. He said how the Lord already knows exactly where I'm going to go to school, going to study, going to live, going to marry, etc. So I don't need to worry about it. I just need to trust his plan and do my part. I liked that.
We probably knocked doors for 25 ish hours this week. I can't lie, it was kinda a beat down. But it seems that now matter how many people are "busy making lunch" or hit us with the "a veces salgo" (has to be the most ridiculous excuse of all time) the Lord always puts someone in our path that is ready and willing to listen. I still don't understand how peruvians can be busy making lunch from 11-9 every day.
In section 128 of D and C brother Joseph is writing an apistle to the saints about baptisms for the dead. But the section can be seen so many different ways. It is one of my favorite sections of the book.
19: Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A voice of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth out of the earth; glad tidings for the dead; a voice of gladness for the living and the dead; glad tidings of great joy. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of good things, and that say unto Zion: Behold, thy God reigneth! As the dews of Carmel, so shall the knowledge of God descend upon them!
22: Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.
25: Brethren, I have many things to say to you on the subject; but shall now close for the present, and continue the subject another time. I am, as ever, your humble servant and never deviating friend, Joseph Smith.
Sometimes brother Joseph just starts heating up and goes on a heater. What a legend. Praise to the man.
Have a good week
Elder Pohlman
