Haha so my comp pointed out this week that he must have been
born premature because I just barely hit the 9 month mark in my mission, he is
such a goofball, he is hilarious!
But this week went really well!!! The big announcement is
that Minerva the mom of the Dominguz family got baptized!! How cool!
So Monday was a pretty normal day except for at my district
meeting the Zone Leaders came to evaluate me, so that was pretty nerve-wracking
but I think I did a pretty good job, it’s getting easier and easier, and I am
feeling more and more comfortable every week! Then afterwards we had a really
cool Family Home Evening with a menos activo family about being the light of
the world and being an example of the believers to the rest of the people, and
I am really starting to develop my ability to teach kids!
Tuesday we did divisions for the first time with Elder
Hilario, and I went with Nephi, he’s like 20 years old and super cool, and we
taught some good lessons!
Wednesday we finally caught up with some of the recent
converts from our area and got to teach them which is good because the majority
of them are inactive and I don’t really blame them, but I will get to that on
Sunday!
Thursday we had the fun opportunity to go to the offices
again for like the 5000000 time because my comp needed his credit card, but
then there were a ton of problems with it, so we were there for forever! It was
awful, we lost almost a whole day of work!
Friday, I did intercambios for the first time with Elder
Walker from Idaho! The dude is awesome!!! I loved working with him, and not
going to lie, after 20 mins we were only speaking English, but our English is
awful because we have both been with Latin comps for a while, but it was super
fun, he’s ancient in the mission, he goes home in September so he had a lot of
stories to tell, and he is just an awesome guy, he really knows how to work
hard, and he is an example of the missionary that we should all be.
Saturday was the big baptism which is the start of my
complaints about my ward. I know we should love the areas where we serve, and I
promise that I do, I am just a little upset with the ward right now. No one
came to the baptism. Literally no one! It was just her, one member of the
bishopric and the three talks that we had assigned, she loved that those people
had come which was awesome, but all of us missionaries were pretty upset to see
the support of the members like this.
Then yesterday was the most boring day of church that I have
seen, I don’t know what it was, but I honestly just felt bad for the
investigators that came because it wasn’t very spiritually edifying. Any advice
from people who have served in hard wards where missionary work isn’t a
priority by any means? Thanks.
Then last night we had an awesome lesson with an
investigator named Mario, he has been investigating for a year, but has never
wanted it bad enough to get married to his girlfriend, but after last night,
for the first time he set the goal to get married so he can get baptized, so it
was a super spiritual lesson with him!
Well hope y’all had a great week! Love and miss you!
