Some pictures finally
Hola Familia y amigos!
This week was kind of interesting. A lot of
appointments fell through and no one wanted to open their doors and let
us in. But we saw miracles and I loved this week despite the struggles.
First off, last monday we had 2 family home evenings and both were
excellent. We also had 11 contacts that day. So I started off
thinking, this week is going to be full. Fantastic!
Then tuesday
was a little harder. We had district meeting and I haven´t laughed
that hard in a long time. No one in our district can sing. But I mean
we´re all terrible. Plus, latinos like to sing slow. Really slow. I
couldn´t stop laughing and then one of the ZL´s joined in and pretty
soon no one was singing. I told them that next time I would lead the
music. Horrible. But that night we had a lesson with a less active
family. The dad is a musician with really long hair and a cross
earring. He would be very good friends with Brother Dowdle. They need
to be introduced.
So this week I was supposed to go to Funes for exchanges with the asistentas. On thursday
Hermana Lake left, we went to the bus station to be with Hermana
Miranda. Then we went to the bus station to pick up Hermana Aragon (one
of the asistentas). Then that night, two sisters from Santa Elena had
to spend the night with us because they were going to Rosario the next
day. Back to the bus station we went.
Friday
the asistenta got sick so we had to go to the other sisters apartment
and did mini exchanges. She then took my ticket to Funes and went back,
so we went back to the bus station. Then we had to pick up Hermana
Lake a couple of hours later. My goodness! And then we had to go one
more time to the bus station to look at trips to La Paz because we´re
going there this weekend so Hermana Gomez doesn´t have to vote (I´ll
explain more next week). We´re calling ourselves the secretaries to the
asistentas. Lots of time at the bus station, but we got in some
excellent contacts there.
Sunday
was sort of interesting. A less active gave his testimony and started
saying that everyone needed to get up and confess their sins and if they
didn´t, he would confess their sins for them. Ya. I was trying not to
laugh. the bishop got up to make him stop. Then we ended with a hymn.
One of the member´s played and it was like I was in Spain all over
again. I´m pretty sure that hymn doesn´t have all those extra notes.
Oh well. But the familia Arraigada came! I was so happy. It was
their first time in 4 years coming. The dad has an interview with the
bishop this friday and Santiago has a baptismal date for the 31st. I love being a missionary and seeing things like that.
This week we´re planning service projects. Back in utah, we did a
lot of service, and here not so much. So I want to get back into that
and include the recent converts. Right now their getting all the
service, so we´re trying to help them serve others as well. I´m pretty
excited and I know we´re going to see miracles from this. Seriously,
service just makes everyone happy!
Next week my p-day will be tuesday because we have transfers. It´s great to hear everyone´s doing well! I love you all!
