Buenas Tardes!
Como estan? Estoy
feliz que tuvieron una buena semana!
Its interesting to
hear about all of the changes that have been happening back home. It sounds
like there are a ton of church activity going on. It will be interesting to see
how the ward is when I return.
So yes we have been
able to go and visit with Claudia more. She is doing a lot better. Still a
little bit sad but she is doing a lot better. We are working with them a lot.
She is a super great person.
I have zone
conference tomorrow. Usually when we
have district meetings it is every two weeks but sometimes we aren´t able to do
it because we will be doing other things or its not worth the trip of 3 hours
there and 3 hours back. But we usually try to do it when we can. I dont know
anything about the mission. I am at the very last area. Three hours away from
anyone. I will learn a whole lot more when I go to a different area.
Alright, so here is
my week!
Monday we started
out not to well. We weren´t able to really get anything done. We walked a lot.
Tuesday we were
able to do a little bit. We had only two lessons the whole day but we were able
to find five new people to teach. For lunch we ate with the Ballespín family.
We had steaks and pig. Just slabs of meat, with a salad and bread. The pig was
super good! Then that night at eight we had to travel to Santiago because my
companion was going to travel to Salta again. When we arrived we got a call
from the secretary that he won´t need to go because they lost one of his papers
and it will just be a waste of time. So we stayed that night with our district
leader Elder Santa Maria and Elder Purser who is from my group. He was also
with me in the other mission [Texas McAllen].
Wednesday we
arrived back in our area at three in the afternoon. We have a good day of
working. We were able to have a number of lessons with some people, we received
some referrals, found a couple others to teach. It was a good day.
Thursday was
alright. We did weekly planning all day and for lunch we ate hotdogs with
guacamolé with Pepsi! Yum Yum!
Friday we worked a
ton! Had some really good lessons. We received a bunch of referrals and
contacted all of them. We found some new investigators. We set a couple
baptismal dates, and we had some LARC [less active recent convert] lessons. It was a great day.
Saturday! Woohoo!
Baptism of Debora Moya! She is also the sister of Claudia. But she got baptized
and she was excited for it. Some of her family members came for her baptismal
service. It was really great.
Sunday was
interesting. So it got pretty hot yesterday and in the morning I started to
feel a little sick. My stomach hurt but it wasn´t bad. I ate KiPi (thats not
how it is spelled but that would be how its pronounced) and it was really good.
Then in the afternoon we worked and went around to visit a couple people before
church at six. We contacted a person and later we left and were walking down
the street. I walked to the side of the street and threw up three times. Once
we went out to work I felt bad. At church afterwards I threw up three more
times. My companion said I looked completely yellow. During church a storm came
through super fast. It didnt rain but there was a ton of lightning. That also a
reason for why a bunch of people didnt come to church. We only have two
investigators there and also Debora was confirmed which was good. But in the
night I felt a lot better.
And right now I am
doing fine. I dont have any problems. Just need to make sure that I keep
drinking enough water.
Well I will talk to
you all next week. Tengan una buena semana! Les amo mucho! Chao!
