Group 30'1'2017
This week was really fast for some reason. I think I am just getting used to this area so now it feels like normal again. It was a pretty good week too.
On Monday, we went to the stake building and played basketball and soccer. It is the only chapel on this island that has an indoor court. It was real nice.
Tuesday was pretty good because we had a lot of appointments. We found a new family that is pretty promising. It is always cool to find families! Our ward mission leader left with too so that was nice.
Wednesday was special because we had a world wide missionary conference through television. It was with Elder Oaks, Elder Bednar, Elder Anderson, from the Quorum of the 12 Apostles, and 4 other general authorities. They talked about how we can be better missionaries and what we should be doing. It was very very helpful! They also changed two major things. What numbers we report to church office and also the daily schedule! It is going to be really helpful! After that we just visited a couple people because the conference took a while.
Thursday started pretty rough. We had a member show up an hour plus late to a meeting spot to show us some references. That was annoying. The references aren´t to bad. After that we went to a Pentecostal lady´s house and talked with her. She is very firm is her church and she was sharing us a scripture she didn´t understand completely in the bible and we shared with her what it meant and led it to the Book Of Mormon and her head was spinning when we left haha! Elder Pinto was feeling pretty sick so we ended a little early that day.
Friday we had a district meeting in the morning. We then taught a couple good lessons. We taught the family we found on Thursday but the husband wasn´t there. We found a catholic lady the other week and she is progressing really well. She is keeping her commitments and praying! We will probably put a baptism date this week if she progresses more. We ended the night at a less actives house and he is a lot better. He has come 3 times to church in a row now which is great!
Saturday was pretty normal but good. We had two good appointments in the morning. We have a family that is progressing very well. We picked up a member that left with us for the rest of the day. We had some really good lessons with her. The only bad part was at the end of the day we visited a recent convert that relapsed on his alcohol addiction. He was hammered when we got there but we talked to him and got him to his house again. There was the biggest baseball game of the year today and you can just say that there was a lot of beer involved. It was the end of the Dominican big league. There were people celebrating until 1 in the morning from the win. I woke up several times from motorcycles revving there motors to the moon and back firing! There was also cars dragging washing machines and caskets with the looser picture burning on it. It was crazy!
Sunday was good to go to church and it was sad because we didn´t have many investigators show up to church because of the game but oh well. We had a meeting then we left with a member for a while. We got to go see two more people who are progressing very well before the end of the night.
It was a pretty good week. We had a great world wide conference and the biggest game of the year this week. Like always, all the lessons where good. I haven´t had many bad ones. We can usually salvage a lesson every time. We found some new people this week but hope to work twice as hard next week!
