Hola familia!!
This was a great week, we were able to teach a lot more and
we are seeing a lot of progress in our investigators. So something crazy I
found out last night, there are 46 missionaries who have been waiting for their
visas that will be getting here in the next 2 weeks!!!! How awesome is that?
They created another zone to help, but the craziest part is that means 46
trainers! everyone will need to step up to help all of them get to work!!
So funny story, this week we were in the grocery store one
night looking at stuff and we were talking in English. All of the sudden we
hear ¨hello¨ from behind us. We then got to know a woman named Verginia who is
from here in Nogoya but she lived in Wales for 10 years! It caught us both
really off guard but we had a good little chat with her, we are gonna go visit
her sometime.
This week we went up to Parana to have interviews with
President Giuliani. He is such an amazing man. He told me that he has so much
respect for the missionaries in our zone/stake because we are all working with
less than ideal situations and yet everyone works hard and has a lot of faith!
It is safe to say the church in our stake struggles a bit.
This week, i don't know if you all remember me talking about
V. who is friends with G. and his mom. Well she happened to show up
at M´s house one night and we had a great lesson with her. She has really
noticed the spirit strongly in our 2 meetings with her.
We also met another one of G´s friends this week named
P! He is a stud! He is rocking the dredlocks in a ponytail and is just
always super chill. He has been really interested in the church and we taught
him a couple of times this week! I fully expect him to continue progressing!
(pics included) This week I had a fun experience with my
pants... We were walking in the dirt along a road and there was a piece of
barbed wire on the ground, It kinda hooked around my right foot and when I went
to step, it slit my left pant leg open... Its not that bad but I talked with
one of the members and I think she is gonna try to fix it for me so we will
see. What great luck huh?? it was actually pretty funny.
We saw a huge change in G this week, I think that
seeing some of his friends start to progress in the gospel is helping him be
more dedicated and excited about it all. It is also helping his mom, except I
think she may be converting to us more than the church. haha She tells us how
much she loves us every time and always tells us how much she will miss us when
we have to leave, what charmers we are with the older women ;)
Friday in the middle of the night we had a great experience.
I don't know if you saw in the pictures, but here in Argentina it is really
common to have this plastic thing above the toilet that holds the water when
you flush. Well ours kinda fell off the wall at like 5 in the morning. I woke
up to a huge crash and the sound of water spraying all over. So luckily (being
guided by the spirit, because I think I was about 80% asleep) I ran in the
bathroom and put my finger over the thing. What an easy fix right? Well now we
gotta buy a new plastic thingy and have a member fix it for us... lame. So
right now to flush we just dump water in the toilet. hahah
So that is it for this week, it was a good week, we are
still working hard and I am feeling a lot better (health wise) We will likely
have a change next week or the week after so we are gonna finish strong! I love
you guys have another great week!
