| Progreso Jutiapa |
Man this has easily been the craziest week of my mission.
First off I should let you guys know where I am. Once again they sent me
outside of the Capital!! I'm in a place called Progreso Jutiapa. The entire
city is just for us including a lot of outlying aldeas (small towns or villages). It is a little branch
of about 50 people and the chapel is made of plastic. Next week I`ll send a
picture of it. It's actually pretty nice though.
My companion´s name is Elder
Guman from Ecuador and he has 20 months in the mission. So basically what
happened is we are both new in the area. We are opening it up as Zone Leaders. So yeah that was definitely a surprise.
Being Zone Leader is definitely pretty
stressful. Especially outside of the city because we have to travel a ton. We
have already gone back to the city 2 times which was interesting so we've actually had barely any time to work in the area so far. But from what I've seen it is really a great area. The people are really receptive and I think we
are going to have a lot of success here.
So let`s go through the days here.
Tuesday- The change meeting and we were sent here. We
traveled all day and got to the area late.
Wednesday- We woke up at 4:30 to go back to the city. We had
to go to the offices to get our phone and also I had an appointment with the
Doctor to cut off an ingrown toenail....Then once again traveling the rest of
the day.
Thursday- The doctor said I wasn't allowed to leave the
house or walk so in the house.
Friday- We once again woke up at 4:30 to go back to the city
to have the mission council which we have to go to. Once again travelling all
day.
Saturday- First real day to work in the area. Also President
Stay and his wife came to work with us. He let us know on Friday that he was
going to come work with us for a couple hours. (Coolest experience ever).
Sunday- President Stay came to our branch and my companion
and I had to speak. After he came to Gospel Principles and we had to give the
class.
Today
So yeah as I said the craziest week of my mission. But
really on Saturday we went to an appointment with the President and it was the
first time we had ever met this person. Really he ended up being the most
closed off person that I have ever met in my life. So we didn't make any
progress with him but I did get to see President Stay debate with him!!!!!
SSOOOOOO COOOLLLL Haha but needless to say we won't be going back to this
person.
Awww man I`ve really got no more time. That has been the
week though. I´m working hard and enjoying the new challenge that the Lord has
given me. Tomorrow we have the Zone Meeting so that should be fun. I hope you
guys all have an awesome week and enjoy the cold for me because my new area is
definitely not cold...
Love you guys!!
Bye
