So
this week has been pretty interesting.
First of all last week
my group that i came out in the mission with left to go home, and I was able to
go to the mission home and eat dinner with all of them. So it was a little
weird to see them leaving and saying their goodbyes. I really wasn´t affected
by it I came out here only ready to work even harder.
We went to teach a
contact that we did that is a brother of a less active. While we were there a
drunk guy came and wouldn´t leave. We were singing ¨come follow me¨ and he started
to dance as you can imagine a drunk guy to dance, closing his eyes swinging his
hips and waving his arms. My companion lost it at first when we both cracked on
a high note he couldn´t hold it in anymore. I finished the verse but then i had
to laugh. We had to reschedule because I couldn´t convince the drunk guy to go
home and get his bible and leave us to teach the other guy.
We have been trying to
expand a little more in our area that we are working and try to get to more
people. We went up to this are and were contacting and we found two less
actives and one of them her family isn´t members. There are active members that
live right in front of them and have been trying to introduce the message to
them. They tried with the sister missionaries but they weren´t really taking it
serious but they think that with us her husband will be more willing to pay
attention. So that was great that we were actually able to get a good foot hold
in that area to help us keep up the work out there. It is about an hour’s walk
away for our house and we were walking back to the main area were we teach and
we were trying to contact. Nobody was home. I turned and saw the rain so we
started to try to contact more frantically. We finally found someone and they
invited us in. As soon as we were in, the rain came down so hard we couldn´t
even hear the people so they just gave us a chair to sit in. We had to leave
anyways because we had an appointment. It was really good that we left because
the streets were rivers and the deepest was when we tried to jump a part and i
landed and it came up about mid calf. The lightning was incredible. there was
just so much.
The work is really
started to show progress. This week i had to talk in church and the stake
president came and they had called a new high counsilor to be over the branch.
So they are giving us a lot more support and this week some less actives that
are really strong members when they were active came to church, and all the
members were really happy to see them. That was great so things are starting to
come around.
Well i love you guys
and hope that the new driveway looks good and that you can get that done with
really soon! Keep up the great week and I´ll talk to you next week. I love you
tons!
