Whats up America?!? (And Slovakia)
Im writing this..still in Omaha Nebraska. But, its time to let you all know that I have recieved my Visa and will be on my way to Brasil on Monday the 6th!!! YAY! And some more awesome news, we have a baptism this Saturday!!! So, the Lord kept me here for Tyrone's baptism! Sweeeet! Today is transfer day. There are a lot of changes going on, mainly because 8 new missionaries came in and 0 left. That means at least 4 new areas are opening! So, this past week we did a lot of moving. I left Omaha and drove out to Oneill, which is about 3 hours away, and all I saw was flat land and corn fields! There is real Nebraska! There wasnt a ton that happened this past week. Meeka came to church! (I love this girl!) So happy for her! Scott is still set for baptism! and, we hit the standards 2 weeks in a row and well on our way to it this week as well!! Yeah, lots of work going on right now! Story: We have been teaching Dave and Kathy. All along, Ive thought Dave was using us for money to buy drugs and booze and that was confirmed. Yesterday, we went to see them and he didnt want to talk to us. Kathy was sitting on the porch with a knife. She was crying and told us that he beats her. Burned the Book of Mormon. He makes her "whore herself" and then beats her and steals the money for drugs. She showed us all the scars and said she would get beat up once we left. As we were leaving, she pleaded with us to call Domestic Violence...well, we got our branch president to do it so we didnt have to be involved. We wont be going back there. Scary stuff though! We met these two awesome evangelists and LOVE talking with us! Cant wait to see them again. Ive been getting pictures with a few people!
The following is a story that uses some risky language. If you dont want to read, Skip down!!!
The other day, we were tracting. We met this guy and he told us how he didnt want to change. Well, we got talking and he started to tell us some of his past problems that he changed through Gods love. He said, and I quote him... "I used to get 3 or 4 women and would sex them. And sometimes, men would come and I would bang them too"........ Enough said. I got nervous. The end.
Conestoga, you have to love it! The church is true whereever you are. God helps you no matter what stage of life you are in. True happiness comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Theres no other way! I love what Im doing. I love my Lord and Savior. I love you all. Thank you for everything!
My next email will be coming from the southern hemisphere. BRAZIL, HERE I COME!!!!!!
Love you all,
~Elder Lakey
