Hola Familila!!
We had a little bit of a hard week, the weather was crazy
but we are gonna work our butts off this week to finish the transfer off well!
I cant believe I have been in Nogosha for almost 6 weeks now!!
By the way, here the name Nogoya is said Nogosha. just an
fyi. :)
So this week the weather was crazy!! Right now I am wearing
my coat and its raining but on Wednesday, it was so hot I thought I was gonna
die! I literally almost bought a big fan. Good thing I didn't.... yet! A member
told me yesterday that in December and January it gets up over 110 degrees
here.... oh boy!
So we also had a little bit of a problem with our water
heater this week, we had to take a few cold showers, but thats okay... it puts
hair on the chest! ;)
We had 2 trips to Parana this week which is roughly 2 hours
each way by bus. The first one we lucked out and they had a movie playing
on the bus but the other ones were super boring! haha but they were good trips,
we had Zone meeting on Tuesday and then on Saturday we went to Santa Fe for a 6
zone, zone conference and Elder Di Giovanni came and spoke to us, he is a
seventy! It was also really fun to see some of the other missionaries
that I had not seen in a long time!
So last night I wrote in my journal for the 11th consecutive
day! That is the longest streak of my mission! I am trying to get better at
doing it, but I'm just not that great at the whole journal thing hah. Now it is
half because I want to write in it and half because I don't want to ruin my
streak!
So G is still doing really well! He has his date for
this Sunday but we are thinking we might move it to next Saturday to have more
time to plan it and all. We are going to his house at 6 and we are gonna decide
with him so I will let you know. He was at church and all and that was another
interesting experience. We had a record low people in church with a solid 6!!!
including G haha but we have been thinking a lot about what needs to happen
here in Nogoya to help the branch grow.
So this week at Zone meeting they gave me some of the dear
elders you sent and for some reason I just got the ones from June 16 hahaha idk
why but they took forever!! Its okay though because I have gotten like 2 or 3
others in that time!
So I have been searching for a certain scripture almost my
whole mission and this week I found it!! Alma 26:12-13 is so great!! I love
that because we need to have confidence in Heavenly Father and know that we are
nothing without his help!
I am still really liking Nogoya and loving my time as a
missionary! I cant believe it is 1/3 of the way done, but like you said mom, I
am trying to make my days count and not count the days! I love you all, have
another great week!!
