hey guys whats up! well we had a good week after that super great conference weekend... heres how it went...
Lunes: we went and visited a part member family. The daughter wanted to get baptized a month ago but recently changed here mind, so we are working with that, she goes to church goes to seminary and loves it all, but as of right now she isnt really meeting with us shes always busy but we are in the lucha haha, after that we made it home and realized that we didnt even eat lunch all day so that was cool..
Martes: We had a district meeting that went well focused on finding more people to teach and working more with memebers. after that we did a division with the zone leaders. I headed out with elder phippen and went to his area. It was really good i actually learned some good stuff that should help me have better contacts. hes a great missionary and is about to head home soon. WE had a couple lessons with memebrs one being a Noche de hogar and we drew pictures of eachother and what we looked like, the kid drew me as goku from dragonball Z that shows huge down here.. then we called it a day.
Meircoles: well started the moring by switching back, it was a good divison. Then we studied went to lunch, and searched for a reference that i got from yesterday in the other area but couldnt find it!, after that we went and visited the familia soto which went really well and then we went and hit up florintine, they are looking really prepared for baptism. afterwords we went and visited eva, the part memebr family from monday and got to talk to the dada while he was sober, something no missionary has done yet and he seemed somewhat interested so that was super awesome. after that we got home and it started to pour... super hard rain and the power went out, so that was fun.
Jueves: Well last night was super loud storm... we were literally in the middle of it, it rained a ton and ive never heard such loud thunder in my life. fter we ate lunch we went and had a couple visits. first with the familia galeano who said they tried to go to general conference but went on friday.. so that was unfortunate. Then we visited our boy Moroni who is super excited for his baptism, and after we had a super awesome and great lesson with florintine and the dad it ended with him syaing that he would be at church and then his wife calling him a liar and then him saying maybe not this week but if not this week then next week for sure so that could be a baptism to finish off the family here soon. so that was a super awesome blessing to be able to talk with him. That was basically the whole day, oh and this morning during personal study i finished the book jesus the christ! that thing is amzing and explains more thourough then anyother book ive read about the the ministry of christ. its incredible i encourage all of you to read it.. its huge.... took me about 6 months.
Viernes: Today was good we went to lunch (ate liver... yum) and a lady there showed us a picture of here house that had got hit by lightnening the other day when there was that huge storm. so that was cool, we offered help but she said the it just ruined all the electricity and that theyd be fine. afterwords then we went and visited the familia martinez who is reactivating person by person, its great, after we tried to visit the family soto who werent there so we moved over to the familia flortintine and finsihed teaching them all that they need to know for baptism. fter we went and visited eva and cant seem to be there when here daughters are home. after we visited ariel who seems to be really sruggling, but we are trying to do all we can to rescue him and are hoping for the best.
Sabado: We had lunch with bishop today which was really good, we hadnt seen to much of him becuase his wife was pretty sickj the last two weeks, she has had cancer for 7 years but seems to be doing great and is always happy. afterwords we got to teach a lesson with the whole galeano family almost and that was super god the mom realized that she needed to find a neew job where she doesnt work on sundays so that was super good. after we went and contacted a lady that seemed super awesome and hopefully we can help her out here soon. Then we saw our boy moroni and after that the familia martinez. Then we went and visited a less active family that makes things out of apo´i which is this superr awesome material and they said they would make some stuff for us if we ordered it so that was awesome. and then we went and visted ilsa and matías which was a supe3r great lesson because ilsa´s nephew was there and she is detrmined to help him get baptized as well! ended the night and it was actually un poco chilly. starting to be like fall down here.
Domingo: well today was stake conference which was super good! but we werent able to get any investigators there becuase florintine had a birthday party to go to for there neice way outof town that they couldnt miss, after that we cooked ourselves lunch and did some studies and then headed out to teach we visited an hermana that was sick and she asked us to do a quick service project for her this week, then we went and had a lesson where alot of our veiw points and scriptures were actaked with bible versus but it went really well and we were able to defend ourselves very respectfully. then we went and visited eva, and got to talke to here daughter fo rlike 5 minutes but then had to peel after that we called it a night.. it actually got un poco mas cold and i pulled out the blanket you guys sent me with for the first time in all my mission. It ended up being a pretty dang good week for us and im excitied for this upcoming week!
