Hello Friends and Family,
This week was a amazing adventure. It rained hard here. It
was really the first time in 16 months that I have seen so much rain. We went
exploring to a new part of Chachapoyas and it is so beautiful. Big mountains
and valleys. I talk with people from all over the world here. Today we were
talking to a nice lady from Russia that had a super nice KTM bike that Elder
Stout and I wanted to buy - haha.
Sunday was the primary program that I loved so much. It felt
like I was in my home ward listening to all the kids sing. Here in Chacha, we
often give talks and teach class without warning or preparation. It's actually
really fun!
This week, we had a powerful lesson with Luis. He is a
policeman and he got in a bad accident this week. His eye was really swollen
and he had to get stitches. During the lesson, I kept getting the strongest
impression that I needed to give him a blessing.I kept fighting the impression
justifying that he had pills and doctors helping him daily. At the end of the
lesson, we were walking out the door and the spirit was so strong that I
couldn't deny it anymore. I asked Luis if he would like a blessing. He replied
yes and I gave him a priesthood blessing. The spirit was so strong. I saw some
big tears roll down his cheeks from under his big dark sunglasses. The wrestler
in me tried to stay strong but the spirit is the toughest opponent I have ever
had to wrestle. I made a pledge (again) to always listen to the spirit and to
quit wrestling for excuses to not do what the Lord wants me to do. I hope the
Lord is gaining more faith in me as I do my best to follow the promptings he
gives me.
Love,
Elder Goold
