So this past week was a pretty good one. First of all we went over to the Arocha family house again and we were just talking, and they told us that they decided it would be a good idea if they got married (yay) but then the dad said, "Ya in like 3 or 4 months I think we should be able to do it." Elder palmer and I were like "Oh.... thats great but hey could you guys do it within the next 4 months cuz i go home in August." Then we started talking about how transfers will be coming up on monday and how one of us-- probably Elder Palmer-- will leave the area. Well they were just like "o really?" Then the dad said, you know you guys have really done a lot for us bringing us the gospel, so as a gift for you and really for us, we are going to get married as soon as we can so we can get baptized while you guys are both still here. The wife pops up (she really wants to get baptized and has wanted to be married for the longest time) and says, "I'll go take out a date this Monday so we can get married as soon as possible." We were soo happy and hoping that the other one of us leaves the area but we are pretty sure that Elder Palmer is going to leave. So I'm pretty happy and excited. Ha oh but right before that, the wife pops open her Book of Mormon and says, "Elders I have a doubt...Can God command someone to kill someone?" I knew exactly what she was talking about-- the part where nephi kills laban-- so ya she was kinda surprised about that but we explained it to her and she was pretty content with the answer although she still thought it was a little shady. So we invited her to pray about our explanation and we´ll see how that goes. It'll go well, shes great, so I'm not that worried.
I guess we´ll see what happens next week for transfers.
Love you all lots
Elder Schupple
