Chile ~week 68

So... this week was a great one... i dont have much time.. so ill just try to tell it as fast as i can..

Tuesday: we had district meeting.. in the night we had correlation, and we practiced our talent show event.. then the Elders from another zone came to stay the night with us cause we had reutrn and report the next day... 

Wednesday: we had ot wake up pretty early, we had to travel to concepción for return and report.. it was cool to be in the office again, my 4th time in all my misison, and the last 3 were for training recently!! hah but the return and report helped me a lot, helped me realize what i need to do better as a trainer.. 

Thursday: we did some weekly planning, then in the afternoon we met with a less active member, and he had a crazy cat, it was running around and jumping all over us! until the point where we were all cracking up in the midle of the lesson! it was so hard not to laugh!! 

Friday: We had interviews with president, which were good, we talked about some good things, president gave me some good councils! then later in the day.. all our appointments fell, so we went and my comp wanted to visit a less active, so i let him teach and lead all the lesson, he did good.. orobably cause he has such a gret trainer! :)

Saturday: was also a good day, we went and visited Deibit, and we had a talent show in the afternoon, it was cool, we had a part at the missionaries.. im gonna try to find our video to send you guys.. there is an hermana that has one closer up, bit if not ill just send mine from far away.. but it was a fun talent show!

Sunday: we had church, but sadly no investigators again... once again all our appointments fell, so we were running around trying to find at least someone to teach.. but it didnt work out..

But it was a great week.. it was lots of fun!

Saturday.. day of the Baptism!! it was soo good!!! it was nice to finally baptize again! So.. his name is Deibit, he is 11, his mom and sister got baptized a few months ago.. he never did, but now he did! Elder Mende got to Baptize him, and he said when he went under water, he felt "something" and explained it as a spirit! so that was awesome!!

Sunday: We had Deibits Confirmation, and e asked me to confirm him, which was a cool experience, ive never done that before.. thn later in the afternoon, i felt inspired to go to the house of some of our futures.. so we went, and they recieved us real well! it seems like they liked it a lot! so that was awesome!!

Chile ~week 65

so this week has been a great one, and we have another great one ahead with some great things happening, we will be having a baptism this next weekend, of a kid that the other elders left us when they left... so thats AWESOME!

Well anyways, heres my week:

Tuesday: in the morning we said goodbye to the other elders, that left us, now we have a house of 2, its more boring, but its a LOT easier to foucs.  we had to clean and organize a bit cause they left the house a mess, then we ended the night with mission correlation.,

Wednesday: we had district meeting, met the new zone, its cool, we have a good zone now.. we had some citas fall, so that was kinda lame, but nothing really special happened..

Thursday: we did weekly planning, then we went to an appointment in the afternoon, it was with this lady, then her friend came over, then another friend came over, it was  kinda awkward, but we got some new invesstigagots from that. then that night we had a lesson with Jaime and Jimena, it was good, but at the beginning we did not feel the spirit and we didnt know why..  after the lesson they explained to us a family situation that it going on.. and explained that it might feel different in the house.. but told us that they really feel good when we come, so that was an awesome experience. 

Friday: was a busy day, we had a lesson with Mariela and Debit. Debit is the one who will be baptized, we have to teach him a lot of lessons in not a lot of time.. so its kinda crazy! then on our way through the street, i heard like a loud squak, or like a squeel, so i looked into that direction and i saw a van, i thought it blew a tire, but as it drove off i noticed it  left behind a dog! there was a pretty good sized dog that got run over!!! haha it stood up and was going nuts then fell to the ground.. it was crazy! after that we had a lesson with a less actve, and we went to a small town outside of the main part of our area, and we taught a lady from paraguay, who was from the other elders..

Saturday: we taught Debit again, then after lunch we came home, i was feeling terrible, i got hit hard with a cold, so i took a little nap then we went out to work again, then after that we tught some more of the other elders old investigators, we shared the video of the restoration. 

Sunday: we had church, and Debit came! so after church we passed by for the mission leaders house to plan the baptism. but thats really it..

Well thats our week, its been a good one, and we have another good one coming up!

Thursday: we went out contacting and we found a, inactive fam, which was really cool, shes gonna get married soon, and her boyfriend isnt a member yet, soo.... well just have to baptize him. then we had a lesson with some of our investigators, Jaime and Jimena, and it was a good lesson, as we were walking home, it started to rain, and this guy stopped by and drove us home, turns out hes not a member but has a lot of family that is.. 

Friday: we left to work and i got "bit" by a dog, i forgot about this house that has a dog, and we were walking, and i felt something psuh me kinda, in the corner of my eye. i looked down and the dog was moving its head back, but the bite didnt hurt me, it bit my watch!! it saved me!!! haha... then in the afternoon again we found another less active who wants to get married to her boyfirned also, and hes also not a member... then we ended the day with a ward activity so that was fun!

Saturday: Not much happened, we jsut contacted forever.

Sunday: We had church in the morning, and we had one investigator come, it was jaime, and he seemed to like it, with his 2 kids. after church we went to lunch, then we passed by for jaime and jimena, and jimena couldnt come cause she was sick, so we gave her a blessing, and we talked about church, to my suprise jaime loved it! he kept telling her she would love it too, and they he didnt want to go, but he prayed and felt he should go, he was really suprised he said, he said you really can feel the spirit  of god there. so that was super cool!!! theyre planning on coming again next week!!!
