My First Investigator!!

¡Hola! This week was a great week to be a missionary just like the rest :)

There´s something here called TLC every Saturday where members come in from wards in the area and pretend to be investigators. They speak no English and we have to find their needs and teach them. This last Saturday was our first TLC and right before it started our teacher came into our little room and told our companionship (at least I think this is what he said cuz, Spanish :D) "I need a huge favor from you guys, one of the members brought a real investigator and I need you guys to teach him. I have a lot of confidence in you, you can do it!" and then he left.. I was thinking "bruh....DO YOU SEE HOW WHITE I AM? I DON'T HABLO ESPAÑOL!"

The investigator came in and we began to try to get to know him a little. He knew absolutely nothing about the church so we had to start with the basics but the spirit was so incredibly strong! I only understood a little of what he was saying but it was enough. I bore my testimony and it just flowed with phrases I had never used before. The gift of tongues is real!! We didn't have an extra Book of Mormon with us so we just gave him one of our leather triples :D

It was an amazing experience. Send me to D.C. right now, I´m so pumped! :D

We also got to hear from 3 of the apostles this week. Two in film and one live. Elder Holland yelled at us and made us feel the spirit like crazy somehow :D

Halloween was fun! We've gotten more candy than any of us hoped :D

But yeah, pretty much just an amazing week! I love all of you!! You´re amazing, don´t forget to pray always. And remember that true joy is found in seeking the happiness of others :)

CON AMOR,
ELDER BRUNSDALE
