Monday: Today was pretty good, solid P-Day. We went to the mall and bought our groceries. We had two "noche de hogar" (family home evening). We listened to a talk by Thomas S. Monson about how we need to be a light for this dark world. It’s very good talk he did in the October conference in 2015. After we went to another members house and pretty much shared the same thing.
Tuesday: Back to work again. Elder Nieves is the zone leader. Once a transfer the assistants go on splits for 24 hours with the zone leaders and today was his day. I was with Elder Cook today. He is brand new missionary who has been out in the field for 1 week. I was doing all the talking. I don't mind though because it forces me to talk so I learn more Spanish. haha! We had a member leave with us today but sadly out of the three appointments he could go to, only one actually happened. That is always the worst but at least we got one with him. After we had a lot more shut outs but that is just the life of a missionary. I am comfortable talking with anyone now though so that is awesome. We had some good lessons with less actives but a lot of lessons fell through. Oh well though, all we can do is hope for a better day tomorrow!
Wednesday: Today was ehhh. This morning I had my personal study. Elder Nieves was still with the assistants so we didn't have companion study. We where going to have district meeting but the zone leaders (Elder Nieves and Elder Hill) were to tired. We were going to have weekly planning but Elder Nieves “had to clean his clothes”. He is the trainer so he knows best. After lunch I studied Spanish and got ready to go. I was ready at three but Nieves was doing stuff until 3:30. Once we left we had a good lesson with a reference from the Bishop’s wife. We went and picked up a member way late then she came with us to a lesson to Caridad. She wants a stronger testimony of the prophet. I had the idea of putting talks on my USB. I have a speaker that you can listen to stuff on a USB's so we listened to a one of President Monson’s talks. She said it helped a lot and wants to hear more! So cool to see that! On our way to Hermana Valdez's house, a motorcycle on the side walk grabbed her purse and took off. I ran after him but my reaction was to slow and he got away. I was so surprised it happened, I didn't think fast enough haha. It had her phone and her husbands Book of Mormon from his mission so he was not happy about it. We took her all the way to her house and calmed her husband down for an hour. Elder Nieves didn't want to leave their house, so we were there for two and a half hours. We only had 2 lessons today. It was pathetic but oh well... I brought it up to Elder Nieves that night and he realized his hasn't been that great of a trainer the past 7 weeks and wants to change for the next 4 so we will see what happens. At least we are one mind now.
Thursday: Today was a great day! We had a district meeting this morning and it was actually really good aside for the fact that we had to do it outside because the other Elders forgot their keys. The thing that made the day really good is the lessons. We went and contacted for the first hour of the day and we found some really good people! We then went into another city in our area and dropped a guy I have been wanting to drop for a while. We had some spare time so we contacted a couple more houses and we found another really good house! We went to Maridania’s house. We taught a PERFECT lesson. It was the third part of the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was there and we had scriptures in the Bible and The Book of mormon and we taught clearly and it was a perfect textbook lesson! After him we went to a couple more really good lessons then called it a day! Very good busy day! Oh one last thing from today is we had someone that he didn't believe in God, just the scriptures... What a great guy!
Friday: Today we had splits with the CCM again so I took one of them out. It went well again and we had a lot of solid lessons. He couldn't speak a lick but it was alright. Everyone was SO surprised I have only been out in the field 2 months and I could speak the way I can. Makes me feel like the hard work is paying off.
Saturday: This morning we had a blood drive. It actually went really well and we got a lot of contacts and references. The stake president is really weird here and it was so funny what he said about inviting people to this blood drive. He told us to go invite people to come to the blood drive in front of the super market and he said "this is different, its not like inviting people to church, they will actually come so it's not like a waste of your time". I about lost it and it was such a confidence builder.... NOT. Oh well haha!
Sunday: Today was actually pretty good for a Sunday! We had only one investigator come to church but we had 7 less actives come. Our ward had 550 signed up and but 80 regularly come. 85 is a good Sunday but we had 90 come today haha! After church we went to a lunch and had some great food. We went to the house and took a 45 minute Sunday nap and went with a member to 3 appointments. After those appointments, we went to a dinner appointment. We went back to our lunch appointment to pick up some more food they made for us then we went to another families house and had root beer floats! Solid Sunday!
Love Elder Wolfe
