Another really fast week here on the mission! We are heading into week 6 in this transfer already! It was a pretty good week in general too. We started it off great with an awesome P'DAY.
Tuesday was awesome because we got our money. We went and bought our food. We shop at a big groceries store like Fred Meyers. It is some french store that is pretty cool with good prices. I always buy the cereal that mom never buys us kids. Lets just say that my breakfasts have been pretty good these past 6 months. After that we had house splits. I went with Elder Nelson, another American. We had a pretty good time and we had a member with us so we didn’t get to speak much English sadly. It was cool to see his area. A little more country then mine.
Wednesday started off rough because we had to go back to immigration. I went about 8 weeks ago but they couldn´t find my papers so they sent me home empty handed. I went again today and finally I got my card. Apparently I’m legal now. That took forever! We got home way late. We ate a bit then took off for the streets. We found a new family that is really cool. They are referrals from a member. We also found another even cooler family! They are a entire family of 6! All age of baptism and they seem very interested. The dad really wants to learn more! The only sucky thing is that we ran out of water so we go to the room and take other peoples water.
Thursday was a good day. In the morning we got to go visit one of our more progressing investigators. She is doing great and we got to talk with her mom too. We had a couple appointments fall through so we saw a couple less actives. We then took off to the stake center to have interviews with the president of my mission. That was nice and I received some good advice. After we found another new investigator and then went to a recent converts that is going to teach me how to cook something new. We came home to no water still so we have been taking bucket showers.
Fridays are always pretty good. We started the day off with a good district meeting. I got to share a message on the importance of members. After we went home and made some lunch. Got a little more studying in too. Our first two appointments fell through so we got some real nice contacting time in and found a couple new investigators. We also set a baptism date with one of our investigators! She knows the church is true now but it will be hard getting her to church because of her job. We will keep praying though! We then went to the church to teach our class (how members can be missionaries). It went well and we brought little candies for the members to participate. Worked real nice. After that we had a meeting with the leadership. We came home to no water still so another bucket shower!
Saturdays are also always awesome. We play a little ball in the morning with some of the members. We went to the stake center and our taxi drive had some problems with his boss and they tracked us down and stopped him and he, my taxi driver, was super mad and pulled a machete on the guy and was about to go ham (crazy) haha! Pretty funny! He was so mad and was driving like idiot haha! After that we went home and went to someone’s house to do service. We scraped their walls so they could repaint. Pretty dirty after that. We came home to our house with out water for the 4th day. We had to go to the first floor with a little bucket and grab water because all the tanks on the roof ran out of water. Makes you take unlimited tap water for granted. Let alone tap water you can drink! (Referring to the states.) All the appointments where going great that day too! We set another baptism date with one of our investigators! Seeing some good progress here!
Sunday was awesome! We went to an investigators house and picked up a whole family and went to church! We had a lot of investigators in church today! The topics where pretty good too! Solid time at church and after we even had someone feed us lunch! We went and visited one of the awesome families that we met this week! They read a bit of what we left with them and taught another really good lesson! They are very accepting and we are going to finish the restoration next lesson already! Talked with another family we found today that are pretty cool but let see what happens with them! We have found about 4 really good families lately! Super fun and we ended the night at another full family we found the week before! They fed us too! Super fun day! We came home to water finally! Very needed!
This week was awesome in general aside from the water problem! The work is progressing and I home we can help even more people this next week!
