Hey guys!
How's it going? It was a bit of a crazy week, it rained
every single day! Actually it hasn't stopped since last Tuesday so I guess
we're going for our second week in a row. Hopefully we can beat Noah's record
in the coming weeks! Other than that it was a really good week. We had quite a
few lessons with members and we're still eating the leftovers from the 18 of
September parties, lots of empanadas!
Monday we wrote, shopped, chilled out in the house for a couple
of hours and then got my haircut before going out. Other than that not too much
happened except the zone leaders calling to tell me that we were going to do
divisions on Tuesday.
Tuesday we had district meeting, it actually went pretty good,
by far one of my best compared to my first couple of weeks. We mostly talked
about the conference we had with Elder Viña and what we learned from it
followed by some practices, the normal stuff I guess. After that we went to the
familia Bahamondez to eat and we had some really good pasta. We then went to
the house and waited for the zone leaders to call us. We split up and I went
with Elder Gomez (third time in a row, no sé) and started to work. We first
went to the familia Maldonados house to pick up Carlitos to take him to a couple
of citas (appointments) we had set up. Afterwards we took him back and we
contacted and visited members’ houses until 8 when we all met up at the church
and went to a cita with Marcelo. It was amazing! He understood and was willing
to follow all of the commandments and is really excited for his baptism
this 18 of October.
Wednesday we taught J. I really don't know what happened, he has
lost a ton of animo (spirit) and really isn't interested right now. He
told us he would come to church, but he really didn't seem too excited about
it. We then walked around and taught a few menos activos and pf families in the
area.
Thursday was pretty cool. After weekly planning we headed
down to the Bahamondez house to give Sebastian a blessing, he had chicken pox
and really couldn't move at all. We blessed him that he would be healed and
better by Friday. After that we went to hermana Suzanna's house to teach her
grandaughter a bit.
Friday we passed by the Bahamondez house and what do you know?
Sebastian was his normal annoying self again, running all over the place,
priesthood's real, nuff said!
Saturday was really crazy we ended up have 3 lessons with
members and none of them were set up either. Our members just randomly
had awesome investigators sitting in their houses that they wanted us to teach
and another investigator just walked into our noche de hogar (FHE), cool stuff!
Sunday was a bit crazy, it rained buckets and because of that no
one showed up to church! J wasn't feeling up to it, but on the other hand
Marcelo, who had his birthday party and went to bed at 7am came and
so did his grandfather Patricio, a menos activo (less active) who only has half
a foot, walked by himself all the way to church. Amazing day!
Sorry guys I'm a bit short on time and details but I just want
to tell you that I love you all and want you to have a great week wherever you
are!
