Ok so this week was exciting.
Wednesday we went to eat lunch at the house of Roberto. He
made some french fries for us and we were eating a delicious lunch when his
wife asked him to make some more fries for the daugter who was coming to eat
lunch. She put the pan of oil on the stove and told him about it.
We were eating and talking and he (we, but really him
because it is his house) forgot about it. Then he remembered and went in to
find the oil on fire. So we were opening the windows and clearing the house as
he put a lid on the pan and the fire went out. I went into the kitchen to see
how it was and he took the lid off the pan. The pan started to smoke and he
grabbed it to take it outside. As he was walking to the door it caught fire
again and as he moved the oil spilled onto his hand and arm. As he let the pan
go the oil (now spread out in the air) caught fire in a big fire ball.
At this point Elder Noel is in disbelief that this is
happening right before his eyes and doesn~t really know what to do.
The brother was more worried about his autistic son who had
followed him into the kitchen and was right by his side when the pan caught
fire. I grabbed the boy and carried him out of the kitchen as the sister called
the ambulance. The brother went into the bathroom and was about to put water on
his arm when I remembered that oil burns shoudn~t be put directly under water
(or thats what I thought I couldn~t quite remember my first aid merit badge)
Anyways I yelled Não água!!! (Water no! ) and ran into the bathroom and wrapped
a towel around his arm. Then we soaked the towel in water and wrapped it around
his arm.
Anyways he is fine now with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his
hand and arm but he is recovering well. His autistic son was only burned by 3
drops of oil that fell on his hand. That is it. Only 3 drops of oil. Heavenly
Father was watching. I saw that pan explode. It was like a movie his whole body
was covered in fire and the son that was right next to him was unharmed.
So I with 2 bus accidents, 1 severe burning and various
epileptic seizures from my companion (5 and counting) this area is hands down
the most exciting area on the mission. haha
Oh Kelly and Valdo, who I talked about when I was here with
Elder Grondel decided to start investigating the church again!! We made some
goals yesterday with her so that she could get a testimony. (Just as a side
note her husband said he had a dream with `the prophet` where I and the prophet
walked in and knelt down and started praying for Kelly. I thought he dream
about president monson because he had seen a picture of him in the church. But
i grabbed the gosple principles book and showed him a picture of the Prophets
and said was it one of them? He looked and said it was this one and pointed to
a picture of Presidente Hinkley!! He said but he was younger and didn~t have
glasses. He had never seen a picture of him before and had no Idea who he was.
But in the dream I and my companion (President Hinkley) walked in knelt next to
Kelly who was laying on the bed and started praying for her. Cool huh! Pray
that we can help her get a testemony.
Well thanks for the love and the support. I love you all. It
is great to be out here.
Love,
Wright
P.S. this week our class of gosple principles with new
members and in actives was bigger than the gosple doutrines class. people kept
telling me congratulations but I felt bad because I feel like I havn~t really
done a lot. More like I just received blessings from Heavenly Father. But
either way the branch is growing!!!
