So this week has been a good one! We're finally starting to find new people and
have cool experiences again!
Monday night while we waited for Elder Vallena's companion
to arrive, we were in trio until late.
We taught one of his investigators because our appointments fell, and he
had an important one set. We talked
baptism with one of his investigators named Je that's been progressing a lot
more. It was a good lesson, but she's
not ready. She doesn't have much of a
testimony of the Book of Mormon which is kind of important.
That night while walking, we saw the son of some members
(He's like 30 and i think he has autism) and he was chasing some people down
the hill! He got down and picked up a
HUGE rock and hucked it and almost hit a truck!
The truck swerved to dodge it and i thought it was gonna roll on that
hill! Crazy stuff! I never did find out why that was happening
haha.
Tuesday was a good day.
We had our last correlation meeting with our mission leader because
they're already releasing him! I'm
ticked! He's the best leader ive had in
my whole mission and they only had him in for a month! or less!
But hey, it's because he has a stake calling in seminary. That afternoon, a rich member that has a
strip mall in the main plaza asked for a blessing because i guess he had a
sketchy experience that night with an evil spirit or something and he said it
left him with a weird weak feeling over him.
That night was supposed to be the Muñoz's baptismal interview, but the
mom came and said that her fiancé didnt want to give permission for the
daughters to get baptized until he comes from Bogota next week. He really wants to be there. So we're gonna wait another week....
sigh.
Wednesday we did house revisions. My last one!
It's always fun revising houses, i feel like a cop. We found some
movies, books (not approved books) and stuff like that. Normally the missionaries arent very pleased
when we take their things but hey, gotta do it.
what ever! Obedience is better
than popularity!
Thursday we had a ton of appointments! busy all day!
We're getting really close to reactivating a family, and E is REALLY
close to being registered as a member.
We have his pictures and the witnesses and everything (from his original baptism). We're excited! That night we visited the Muñoz family and
resolved some doubts that her husband had.
Stuff like "in what name are my daughters getting baptized!? JOSEPH
SMITH'S?!" haha people always condemn doctrines they have no idea about.
Friday we had a lesson with a family we contacted in the
street the other day named Ja and Y. Turns out Ja was baptized in 2004! They're super cool and really open. He wants to get back into the church and
wants his family to learn about it too.
We're excited about them! That
afternoon we taught a new kid we met the other day and I guess he's from this
weird church called "Light of the World" that believes in an apostle
named Nason Joaquin Garcia. They believe
stuff like how women need to cover their heads when they pray and that they
shouldn't play instruments and stuff.
The lesson ended up with him trying to teach us instead of the other way
around.
Saturday was good, we had a lot of lessons. Nothing too crazy. We taught the Muñoz family and they've been
studying all the pamphlets and the Book of Mormon! Just getting prepared!
Sunday was alright, we didn't have many people come to
church. Everyone had problems and couldn't
come. Kind of a bummer but what can you
do? we only had a few lessons
yesterday. We met a new kid ALSO from
the "Light of the World" but we took the "Here's the Book of
Mormon, pray about it" approach to avoid contending over doctrine. We also taught the Muñoz family about the
different stuff in the church to help people endure to the end and they seemed
pretty content.
Today we played soccer and i did some souvenir
shopping. I can't believe I only have 3
weeks left. Kind of freaks me out, but
I'll staying strong. Not getting trunky
haha. Love you all! There's my week!
