This week was pretty good!
We´re having a lot of sucess and a lot of great things are happening!
The highlight of Tuesday is that our district made a
band! We have to do a Christmas carol
for the next zone meeting so we organized a band with me On guitar, Gomez on
the bongos, the sisters on piano and maracas, and the other Elders on Giro and
Clave. its super rad! We have to do the
presentation in English, and we have a "spice" on it that is gonna be
fun! More news to come!
Wednesday, i went to Andalucia in Divisions with Elder
Suyon! It was fun to see my old
investigators, and I had the privilege to interview Ana Maria and Vic for their
baptisms! Ana Maria needs a bit more
time to pass but Vic passed! He
surprised me! He has changed so much and
is 100% ready to be baptized. I was
really pleased to see the affects of my work there. That day in Zarzal, Gomez told me that our
convert Cleyder is going crazy with the missionary work! She lent out her Book of Mormon, is giving
out pamphlets, and is presenting us to all her friends! It is super rad! She is an excellent convert!
Thursday we ended divisions early to go to Tulua and have a
meeting with the district president. We
made serious plans on how us as missionaries can help this district become a
stake. we have high hopes and want to do
it FAST. So we are gonna buckle down and
get to some hard hard work. But we are
working with pure families here in Zarzal so the branch is growing faster and
faster. That night we also found a
family where the wife is less active and her husband and son aren't. It was a miracle find because they came from Chile and want
to reactive/get baptized. We are so
grateful to the Lord for helping us find them!
Friday we had a really busy day! We had a small competition
with the other Elders in our apartment where each companionship had to contact
at least 5 families in the street that day.
Who lost would buy pizza. As a
result, we contacted 11 families amongst us 4.
It was a great day and what we needed.
Saturday was fairly normal.
We just did some service putting up Christmas lights and had a few
lessons with investigators. Nothing too
huge.
Sunday was great because Nabor and Mery came to church and
got their last attendance to get baptized!
It was a miracle because Nabor was working but came to church until he
got on call, and they didnt call him until we were halfway through the 3rd
hour. So this Saturday we are gonna
baptize a family! Woohoo!
Today was just a nice lazy Pday, just what we needed because
phew. I was tired haha. So yeah! love you all!

From my personal
email:
I asked if he knows
where he'll go to Skype us on Christmas Day.
Jake: this week we're gonna skope out skyping areas haha its
strange, the more time i get in the mission, the less i think about home! I almost forgot i got to talk to you all soon
haha. SUPER FOCUSED.
I told him I'm hoping
to hear more about where's he living and maybe see some pictures.
Jake: Im with 4 other missionaries but its because they
opened another area in Zarzal with 2 new missionaries, so me and my comp are
kinda homeless until we find a house.
we¨re living in our suitcases which is a bummer but it's whatever. I havent taken pics yet because i dont wanna
get too attached to this house haha.
