Well this week was a pretty cool one, heres what we did...
Lunes: had a NDH with the familia soto again, we are trying to help them establish that a little more consistantly. That went well, after that we went to Hortensia who is still progressing but her daughter has cicken pox so they cant go to church until she is better. But we had a pretty good night.
Martes: WE went to District Meeting that went well, it was a good first one for the Zone we had everyone introduce themeselevs and then i went with elder Craig to his meeting and it went really well. After that we went to Lunch and then we made our way to the Hospital were Elder Goss Had to get his ear checked out, that was fun, after that we got back home and got to work, we were able to visit Alba who is progressing towards baptism for he next week, and then we went to the silvero Family who still hasnt gone to church once since ive been here, they want to but there is always an excuse, after that we went and had a really good noche de hogar with the prieto family and his brother, it went well and he realized that faith without works is dead, so thank you James 2:17 for the help there.
Miércoles: Today we started a division with elder Ellefson i went to his area with him. It went really good, we had a really good day and got some real good work in there. There was a pretty rico lunch and we got a lot of contacting in He wants to be the best leader he can so we talked about areas where both of us could do better to improve, it went well im excited for him to be a district leader this change. We did do alot of inviting to a Ward Night which actually ended up being really sucessful, we had some people there that we found that day that came ad watched the restauration with us and then we played a little bit of pingpong and called it a day.
Jueves: We switched back, did some weekly planning and and then went to lunch with the familia Lopez after that we visited this super drunk dude, who was baptzed about a year ago, he said he would go to church this sunday and so we are really hoping he remembers atleast, after we talked to Alba for a second shared with her and preped her for her baptism. Then we went to A reference and found a pretty col household of people that have famliy memebrs that are memebrs, after that we went and shared with a less active family that looks like they will be on the return soon. Then we went and visited the familia soto who is progressing just really slowly, afterwords we went to claudio who is super cool and is super close to going to church and doing everything that he needs to so he can progress and really get to know for himself if evrything is true. Then we went and Swung by Mario Martinez, gifted him a copy of preach my gospel so he could study that more and help us do more visits. Ended the day beat and feeling real good.
Viernes: Today we went on a division with Eler Craig he came with me to my area. It went really really well, i like elder craig a lot, in two words i would describe him as the humble giant. He really is just a super nice kind and great guy. We put together a pretty good day and started by finding this cool grandma as a new before lunch, then we ate fish soup and then we got to work out to work we visited a less active with her somewhat cuñada, then we went and found this super cool guy and talked to him about the importance of family that was cool, after that we went to Serafina who is trying to bring the other wards less actives, to our ward. Not sure how i feel about it. Then we went and Talked to Karolina a less active who said wshe would go this sunday for sure and ten we went and Shared with Karina who is doing good we helped her realize theimportance of always reading the book of mormon to always be guided by god. It was really good. after that we went to the church and had athe baptismal interview for elías, his two brothers were baptized by the bishop and we were all set for the service tomorrow.
Sabado: Started today by cleaning the baptismal font. And then ending the division, afterwords we did some studies and went and bought lunch so we didnt have to cook. Then we went and shared with alba and with Hortensia, and then head on over to the baptism/birthday party. It was super full of people, the service went super well, good and memorable, and the party after was ridicuoulsy huge... it was cool though. there was a super huge cool cake and there was a ton of hot dogs so that was nice to eat as well. afterwrods we went and talked to josés family and then we went and talked to edith and old investigator and then after that we went back and cleaned up/locked up the chapel. It was pretty great day!
Domingo: Today started early dy opening the chapel so a guy could come and remove the tables from the party last night, then we went and tried to get the drunk guy from wednesday to come to church with us but he wasnt home, so we went to karolina who was home but wasnt ready and had just woken up when we got there, so we went to church empty handed. We had 74 people, with 5 less actives and 0 investigadores. So that stunk but it was a good day in the chapel, elder Goss had to do the confirmation of one of the kids and i almost had to give a talk but last second didnt. after that we did some studies and then went to lunch. After we went to Eva and liz, then we visited Alba who didnt go to church becaus her boss was sick, but she will still be getting baptized this weekend, then we went to Sara this 95 year old memebr we found who cant walk so maybe we can get her kids involved to help her get back to church. After that we were doing some contacting and found this super awesome famil, talked and shared with the parents Jorge and Raquel, and it was super sick he even gifted us guarani books at the end so that was cool. Ended our day with that one and then eaded home, we ended the week with a perfect 7/7. That was cool aswell.
