Lunes:
Today we had some good things happen. First we had a really good lesson
with ariel and mercedes who are the couple we are trying to help get
married, ariel is doing super good, but mercedes is having some
difficulties and doubts so hopefully we are able to contiue helping them
and getting them ready for marriage. After that we went and visited the
hermana Vera, who broke down a little bit and told us she need to
change but is just struggling, so we are really excited to help her get
back into church!
Martes: Started today with a district meeting with
just remansito... only 4 elders, its our new district this change,
pretty small. It was good though we brain stormed some ideas for the
ward mission plan and talked about the importance of commitments. After
words we got some studying in and then heaed out to teach on this new
years eve. Our next planned baptism as of right now is Lorena, a sister
that probably is about 30-35 years old, we got to talk to her husbn
today though and he drinks but he might be someone we can work with
after she gets baptized, we changed her baptism date a little earlier so
he could make it, its set for next thursday!
after that we went and visited nancy samaniego whose husband died in
novemeber, she has a boyfriend, and is still is asking us for lots of
help, her family is defs still struggling but we are trying our best. We
also got another visit in with merceds and ariel and that was good,
they too need more support thatn ever. then we did some walking around
to find who we could visit and were walking down the street when this
drunk guy stopped his car got out talked to us bout how good of people
we are, and then at the end told us that he ws goig to give us a hug. It
ended up with him wrapping his arms around our wastes and lifting us...
what a way to celebrate the new year right??? hahah. then we did get a
lesson in with a less active and after that we headed over to the other
elders house, had ourselves a little new years eve dinner and then went
to bed exhausted only to wake up at twelve again to fireworks.. there ar
soooo many here its awesomeish hahah.
Miercoles: WHAT A WAY TO START THE YEAR WE WOKE UP
TO WATER!!!!! yes after three weeks of struggling to be clean, we got
ourselves a real shower.. it was so nie! after that we got to work as
normal taught our investigator Lorena who is beyond ready for baptism.
We then ate a delcious lunch of hamburgers and hotdogs, and then hit the
sterets. A ton of walking, drunks, garbage, and nobody home or awake to
let us in.. we still got some good work in. but water.... what a great
way to start the new year... i kind of forgot about how good it is to
have it.
Jueves: We switched things up a little bit today and
did a little studying in the morning and then heaed out to teach early.
Taught Lorena again, she lready knows everything e are just maing sure
that she is good and prepared for her desision to be baptized. Then we
ate lunh with the Sosa family, and after that meet with the other branch
missionaries to put together the whole branch mission plan it looks
really good, and more than anythign we are trying to help the ward
actually have activities this year for the youth. that was good, then we
got some studying in during the heat of the day, and headed back out
when it was a little cooler. We taught the vera family and that went
really well, and then called it a night.
Viernes: Today nobody was home... it rained a little
bit and there was a tno of walking. we taught lorena agian and she is
sooooo ready. we also got a phone call from the zone leader. he said
that we were going to have a divison tomorrow
and that i was going to mariano for the day with him so that was good.
WE get a really good lesson in with ariel and mercedes right before the
divisoin, but it went just a little too long and started raining during
it. so after we had missied all the colectivos and had to walk and hour
to mariano in the rain and over the bridge.. it was a fun time but
sooooooooooooo tiring. not really to much exciting today.
Sabado: Today there was a ton of walking!!! we did
eat a pretty dag gpood lunch, and my main man arial called me from
remansito and we started a group fast over the phone so that his senora
would want to marry him! it was soooo awesome. Me and elder snchez
taught really well, and our lessons were full of the spirit it was soooo
awesome!! Today was really hot but we got some really good work done.
Elder sanchez did get a litttle sick by the end of the division but we
got some really good work in before that.. nothing too exciting though.
we ended the division and i made my way to remansito again.
Domingo: ¡BENDICIONES DE LOS CIELOS! we had two
investigadors in the church!! and lorena is offially all ready to be
baptized this week, and the other one is going to be ready for his date.
We had 47 people in church today 14 Less actives, and our 2
investigators. after church we got right to work and visited vera,
gabriel (our next next baptism) Lorena, and manuel and it was a great
day! We ended theweek with some really good numbers, which is always a
good feeling!, Lorena also told us that she wants my comp to baptize her
so he can have the expierence which is exactly what i wanted and she
said that she wants me to do the confirmation so that should be
intresting!
Lunes: Today we went to Pizza Hut, and the office,
and that was it, it was a good day but it always goes by way too fast..
got 2 FHE tonight that should be good.. we will see...
