Hey!
This week was fun! Sister Selman and I went on another
adventure. So here in Portugal they have Chinese stores that sell super cheap
junk... Kinda like the dollar store and it's literally a missionary's favorite
place. We went hunting to find something to help one of our investigators
understand how the Restoration works and that being part of any church doesn't
save you. So we found this little puzzle book with lots of little puzzle
pieces. It worked out that we took one piece from each page to create a new
puzzle that didn't make any sense at all. Kinda like this:
So on our way to our lesson we found two of our friends and
one asked why I was carrying around a kid's puzzle book. I explained that the
puzzle was broken and asked them to fix it. The Jose and Zé, two grown men
started to try to put the puzzle together without 90 percent of the puzzle. It
was so funny to watch them argue about where the pieces go. Then we explained
how we created the new puzzle using parts of the old puzzle, in the same way
how people created churches using parts of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then we
gave them the rest of the puzzles and explained how God restored all the pieces
of the Gospel.
We also met with one of our investigators that has problems
to stop smoking and we came up with the classic idea to make some celestial
cigarettes. We took an empty box of cigarettes and decorated it with pictures
of Christ and inspirational quotes. We passed Rodrigo by and told him that we
had a surprise for him and we wanted him to guess what it was. He laughed and
said... "Hm... What is the most rediculous thing I can think of.....
Something you guys would never do... I know! Sacred cigarettes!" We looked
at each other and started laughing and showed him the box. He looked at us and
was like.. Seriously? and then busted up laughing!
Other than that it was a week of lots of work!
Love you guys,
Sister Ellsworth
