sounds like an eventful week at home.. i dont have a ton of time to write you guys for this week, but while the pictures load ill get some things in and then for next week or maybe tomorrow ill get a little more in.... but heree we go..
Lunes: got my sefl a hair cut... got to we are having a
wedding this week, it rained aton after words, so we tried to go out a
little and my comp ended up cutting his hand, so we called it a night..
pretty uneventful. but a good day.
Martes: Today we had oursleves a district meeting
here in remansito.. we did have a guy come and i order a sweet leather
cover for my little hymn book i have.. ill send pictures and is you guys
want these covers let me know. after that i had a division with elder
barillias from guatamala, he is awesome and plans on moving to the
states after his missoin he already has his visa and his brother lives
there. it was a good day, we went and got a good lesson in with gabriel,
who told us he would now if he was ready to be baptized this weekend by
thursday so we would see what that leads us to.. we got a good lesson
in with our recent convert lorena who is progressing a ton, and then we
went and taught the familila vera, whos son is having a really hard
time, ended up having to go to the hospital, and the mom is having some
struggles now.. but we did have a good lesson and hopefully we will be
able to see her in church this next week. Then we went and clebrated
ariels birthday with him and his future wife and ate pb and j
sandwhiuches.. they liked them alot, but said they think it would be a
better breakfast item it was a really good night! thats tuesday in a
breeze...
Miercoles: we did some t}studying in the morning,
and then went to mariano to end our division. so that was good, then we
came home and found out that we didnt have lunch with the member that
day
so we went and bought empanadas, that wasnt as good or filling as
normal but sometimes thats how it is... it was super hot today!! like
super hot so thats always fun to work in and we are hitting struggles in
a lot of areas right now but we are working hard and im certain the
lord will bless us soon if we keep that up, we also had to change the
wedding to saturday so that ariels mom could make it, so that was good..
gave me an extra day to plan it.. but we did have a meeting planned
with the couple and the branch president to work out all the details and
he wasnt there and failed to tell anyone he wouldnt be able to make it
so that was tough.. but everything will work out.. im certain.
Jueves: WE had a really good meeting with the branch
mission leader which is something we havent had in months so hopefully
we can have more of those and more often. after we went and talked to
lorena who is just super good! i just hope the ward can start visiting
her, and be friending her soon... thats the next goal is too get her
more involved. after that nobody was home.. including gabriel which was
really bad because it meant no baptism for sure and showed us that he
doesnt have the strongest desires to be baptized so hopefully we can fix
that this next week... probably better though because i dont know how
we would hof had a baptism and wedding the same day.... it would have
been near impossible. then we found this less acitve who everyone in the
ward who lots of people have told us about but is really tough to find
at home and that was a really good lesson. after that we had a really
good lesson with the hermano samiengo that ended up being about the
attonement and about the fact that we go to church and do everything in
the church because we love christ and what he did for us so that was
super good. afterwards we went and talked to president and got
everything squared away for the wedding. it was good meeting and
relieved a littl stress from us so that was good. that was good ol
thursday.
well thats all the time i got.. ill try and write
tomorrow if they let me.. or if not ill get more next week... love you
all so much... more wedding pictures to come.. love you all!!!
1/28/14
alright well i do get a little more time today to write so here we go...
Viernes:
Today we had a good day, we have been having some struggles with
getting lessons with members and less actives, so we took some good time
during weekly planning and got some things linned up to hopefully have a
better week with this number. after that we got off to a pretty good
start to the day. We met with recent convert named david and he is back
strong in the church again. he told us that he would be able to leave
with us and go teach someone for like an hour next thursday, and he
offered us dinners every wednesday so thats super awesome! i love dinner
:). then the night crashed a ittle bit when we went and visited
victor... my first baptism. he said that he planed on not going to
church annymore because he doesnt feel as good as he used to when he is
there. We had a pretty good lesson with him and helped him, but he
stilled seemed pretty set on stoppping going to chuch. so that was
tough. then went and visited our couple thats getting married toorrow,
they said that they are ready but dont have any rings, and that they
were on their way to the hospital to pay for the brides sister to have
birth.... so that they wouldnt have any money at all for tomorrow. so
thats super cool, but the most important part is that they are ready and
excited to do this so wooooooo!!!!!!
Sabado: We had a good lesson in the morning with a
less active, went and visited our recent convert lorena, and also got a
lesson in with a less active member who loves saying things like, to
jesus and the great grand god while she prays or just in the middle of
sentences so that was a fun lesson to have. After we got a call from
ariel the groom who said that his witness he needed couldnt make it and
was wondering if we could find him one from the church. so we were able
to get the hermano pineda to help us out which was awesome, then we ran
home grabbed some stuff and headed to the church. We sarted setting
things up for the wedding and that was awesome then the people got
there.. i let ariel where my tie and suit and me and my comp were the
photographers and then we got that couple married! i did the welcome and
my comp said the openeing prayer, and then we let the wedding begging..
i filmed the whole thing from when the judge was talking and 9 and a
half miutes later they were married!! it was awesome!! then a coupell
people brought some food, we snacked and we called it a night. it was
super awesome and they looked super happy!
Domingo: Today we had a big visit from people from
the district which helped our attendance go up, so that was cool, we had
73 people and 15 were less actives coming back.. and we had 0
invesestigators also we were missing our newly weds... so yup. aftr we
had personal study and that was cool, becuase i finished the book of
mormon in spanish!!!! so that was awesome! we got a decent week in
visited ariel and mercedes and found out that they had over slept....
honeymoon shananigans im sure.... hahah but we did get two reallt good
new investigators today and so that was super awesome! hoping we get
some good growth!
Lunes: Today was a good pday we went to luque
printed some photos fo the wedding and from lorenas baptism, and also
bought some rings for our newly wed couple s they could have there own!
that was cool.. about 30 bucks for a pair of solid gold and silver
wedding rings... let me know if you want something... haha then we made a
quick trip to the office, and our way back to remansito.. after we
started teaching.. found a baby monkey! that was awesome!! and then got a
couple good lessons in... we have a division with the zone leader
tomorrow so that should be pretty fun.. but thats that!!
Love you all sooooo much!! hope all is well!!!
Love
Elder Jace Gummersall
