Well family another week has come and gone and once again
here I am writing you guys.
Should I even say it this time? I don't have much time but
I'll make it fast. Not a whole lot happened this week really but time is just
passing by faster and faster... and faster... and well even faster. I really
have been learning a lot this week but the work has been hard.
In my area basically everyone is working always. So it's
really hard to find people to teach. In the afternoons we really don't have
anything to do except pass by all the people that lie to us that they are going
to be in the house. So yeah it's interesting and we are able to contact a lot
which is fun considering we've already contacted our whole area. We actually
have recently found a couple of people to teach which is cool and a couple of
them are actually really receptive. We are teaching a man named Jose. He has a
lot of desire to change his life around but he doesn't know how and before he
though it was completely impossible. We helped him realize that through the
Atonement of Jesus Christ we can really be clean and start over. He basically
was crying during the lesson and we but a baptismal date with him. But then he
got scared because he thought if he went to church we wouldn't visit him
anymore. We were pretty clear with him that in fact now we will probably visit
him more than usual haha.
This week we also found another family. Interesting story
really. Our Ward Mission Leader got a random call from some guy named Ronny who
apparently is a member but no one in the ward knows him. He told us that that
same night he wanted to have a Family Home Evening with his cousins who aren't
members but are going through hard time right now. This day I was in divisions
with another Gringo so my normal companion wasn't there. Anyways when we went
it just kinda was weird cause we got to the gate of his private colony and all
the security came out and told us to "come on in they are waiting for
you". We didn't say anything to the security. We got to the house and no
one answered the door rather some car pulled up out of no where and some guy we
had never seen tells us to get in. Just to tell you guys I definitely though we
were going to be kidnapped at this point. Anyways we got in the car and he
drives us up to the top of our area and we went in a bunch of other streets
that I didn't even know existed because they are so well hidden. We entered a
different gated colony and then they tied us up and threw us in the trunk. Ok
just kidding about that part. We went in with the family that we were there to
visit and they are really cool people. They are the Myorga Family and the
Husband is an inactive member and his wife doesn't go to any church. There were
some people there too that are really strong members of the church that live in
Maryland and speak perfect English. anyways they gave the whole lesson and we
didn't even say much. Seriously it was the weirdest visit ever but also really
good. After we find out that the wife is from Bolivia...the same city as my
companion and she made us typical bolivian food which my companion didn't get
because he was in divisions. that was definitely the most interesting thing
that happened this week.
Well I love you all and hope you have an awesome week. Enjoy
the new house but don't get the new carpet too dirty before I get to use it!
Paz Afuera....not sure if you can say that in Spanish.
