Hola familia!!
Wow what a week! It was really tough but I think this was
our week to start turning things around and we are going to start finding more
success and having more people to teach! I´ll start with your questions:
Mom:
*How often do you have Zone
Conference? Do you also have District Meetings? How often does all
of that happen
-Zone conference is every
other transfer. Yes district meeting once a week. and zone meeting once a
month. Zone conference is with the pres and stuff. zone meeting is just the
missionaries.
*Have you had much
interaction with President Guiliani?
Not a ton, but a little
bit. They are great! I really like them a lot and they are super nice!
*Have you heard anything
about your package? I sent it on June 20th, so I’m hoping you
will get it soon.
Yes Welsh called me
last week and told me that the package came!! Super fast again, really lucky, I
think I will get it tomorrow at zone meeting.
*Have you gotten any of your
friends letters that I sent on Dear Elder? I’ll send another batch
tonight.
Not yet, hopefully
tomorrow as well! :)
*On transfer day (the Monday)
what do you have to do? Do you meet together to find out about transfers
or what?
The last 2 have been mission
cleaning days. but usually it is just a normal day of work. depends on what
they tell us. Then Tuesday is p day and Wednesday is when everyone travels to
their new areas.
Dad:
What is are a couple “normal”
meals?
Meat, Pasta, rice, a lot of
bread, soup, chicken, potatoes.
What’s a normal p day
like?
Depends on what we plan with
the other missionaries. usually playing sports maybe going downtown to hang out
and getting lunch. always different which is good!
How often do you see other
missionary’s in your district?
Depends on who, Our district
is very spread out. The hermanas in our district are 1 hour by bus. but we live
really close to 2 elders in our zone but not our district. they have been
showering at our place everyday because they don't have hot water.
So last Pday we had an asado
at the church with the other missionaries and this guy named Ariel from the
other ward. It was really cool to talk with him. He is 35 and speaks 5
languages.
I recently realized how
important timing is in the eyes of God. I realized that if I hadn't left in January
or gotten sent to NC I would not know Pamela right now or any of the others
that I know. Its so amazing, to know how much the little things matter to
Heavenly Father.
So, smoking is a real problem
here, let me tell you. I think i will come back not knowing the difference
between regular smoking and marijuana because they are both very common. but oh
well, we are helping them get over that one convert at a time right?? :)
The members here are so
great! For example, on Thursday we had 2 meals! We had dinner with the Gimenez
Family and yes it is true the Carla decided to serve a mission!!!! She called
me last night to tell me it is official! I am so excited for her!!
So, Happy 4th of July! It was
slightly more boring here than it was there I am sure.... hahah but its all
good!
This week we went digging
deep in the old files to find old investigators that we could visit to teach.
It was hopefully successful, I will keep you updated on any that turn out well!
we have like 30 names to visit.
I am so glad you got the
picture and message from Walter, I was sitting there with him, but he didn't
want me to translate he wanted to send it in Spanish haha they are such a great
family! I love going to their house!
So priesthood here is so much
louder than at home! At home no one talks, here the problem is we only get like
10 minutes for a lesson because any topic brings up a million comments! Pick
your poison right? Hah
So I learned how to play the
card game hearts and we have played a few times. We play on pday or on Sunday
nights when we have to call the leaders and give them our numbers for the week!
(random)
Mom way to go dominating the
golf this week! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
jealous that I was not there. I miss golf a lot!! but soon enough right?? :)
and of course you can play golf in a boot! I don't know about walking around
SanFran... but keep me updated on your foot?
That I all I have for this
week! I love you guys and hope you have another great week! Until next time :)
