well heres my week!
Monday: after pday we had a noche de hogar with some of our investigators.. so that was good.
Tuesday: We had district meeting, and my comp had to do something during that timeso i was able to lead a lot of it, which was pretty cool. we went to a girls house to teach a little more english, then set a baptismal date with her, but she doesnt want to get baptized, we still need to ask her why. then at night we had mission correlation and our mission leader bought us pizza, so that was good.
Wednesday: the president came to our church that morning so we had to open it and help him get everything set up for a reunion with the hermanas. i heard trump won, woohoo! haha everyone here is pretty upset, i have to pretend to be sad cause everybody is way upset ans always asks me about it, especially my comp, hes really worried about mexico now. we went to go visit a new, he wasnt there, so we talked with his mom and grandma, his grandma is 95 and isnt doing so well, we gave her a blessing then we left.
Thursday: we had an intercambio trio type thing. the zone leaders split and went with the district leaders, so that was fun, Elder Castro from colombia was with us. we went to our investigators grandmas house but she was home alone, so we talked on her porch aand sang her a hymn. or we tries, we all started laughting during the hymn so that was fun.. haha. there is a nations festival on saturday so we went with one of the senior couples and the owner of Jacks(american food place) to see what itll be like. the owner of jacks lived in florida for 19 years, so he knows really good english.
Friday: i was pretty sick, i had so much allergies, it was bad... but i didnt want to stay home so we went out and worked. that morning we went to a special needs school and sang with the kids as a service activity! it was pretty fun. we tried to do a bit of church tours which was hard cause there are so many people and theyre all "in a hurry". we came home cause someone came home to fix our water heater, it wasnt working very good and kept exploding, so we told our home owner and hired someone to fix it. and then our home owner told us we need to find a new house before the end of the year, so we will see how this goes...
Saturday: we went and chopped wood for someone in the morning, then afterwards we got invited to go to the nations festival which was pretty cool, we represented the united states, and got a bunch of questions about trump. the nations festival was cool, there were 13 countries there and a bunch of people, we got some pretty good references from that aswell. and a few people wanted to take pictures with me, what can i say, a gringo in south america, gotta take a picture! hahaha we also were able to give 2 blessings.
Sunday: we had church, and i had to pass the sacrament which was weird cause every ward does it different. but church was good cause juan came, which means this saturday we are going to have a baptism!! woohoo!! there was also a member from idaho in our ward, he was down here for work, so that was pretty cool.
Today: we had our ward activity and did a white elephant, me and my comp won cookies, so that was pretty fun, then we went to jacks, since we helped with the nations festival we got free food! so thats cool, its also been pretty rainy, so thats soo lameee!! haha
well its been a great week! love and miss you all!!
Have a Good Week!
