training meeting he had to go to. So me and Elder Lords started the
day of by going to meet with a lady named E_ from Colombia but the
man that was going to come with us didn't show up so we only got to
talk in the door for a little bit and share a quick music video. Then
it was over to a members house where we talked about member missionary
work. Then he asked for a blessing so I thought he would ask Elder
Lords to give the blessing, but he asked me to give it and man I can't be more thankful for the
gift of tongues this week. Then it was over to a 12 year old young man
about the law of chastity and the word of wisdom and he has a
baptismal date for next Saturday so that is super exciting. Then we
went and taught A_& J_ and there mom about the plan of
salvation and their mom had so many deep questions it was kind of cool
to be able to answer them so that was good like what happens when I'm
pregnant and the baby dies before birth? And other questions like
that. Then it was back to the metro to go to our next appointment.
When we were on the metro we saw to Indian guys speaking English so we
walked over and we're going to introduce ourselves when we both got
this very Bad feeling about being right there right then a man
probably in his late 30s walked up to us with that look like an animal gets
in their eye when there about to kill something and he started to get
closer and closer to Elder Lords starring at him like this the whole
time. So that was super crazy.
Wednesday: so me and Elder Lords started the day off contacting which
was good we actually got this lady to stop so we were super excited
until she started talking and said it doesn't matter if u get baptized
because God will save every one no matter what and we will all live in
his presence so that was a struggle talking to her for like 10 minutes
but hope she will have a change of heart someday. Then we helped
correct a less active members cancer research paper for grammar
mistakes so that was very difficult but kinda cool at the same time.
And Elder Wells got sick so we headed back to the apartment.
Thursday: we had zone correlation today were we talked about the
importance of zone unity and the meaning of Christmas. Then Elder
Wells wasn't feeling to good so we headed back to the piso so he could
rest which gave me a wonderful opportunity to study Spanish a lot and
read the scriptures so that was nice then we went to our investigators
house for a farewell party thing for Elder Wells and had banana bread
and hot chocolate so that was fun although American hot chocolates the
best and Bolivian hot chocolate is really bitter but we had a lunch
appointment today and had some Peruvian drink that was purple that
tasted just like bubble gum it was so good.
Friday: well today was missionary correlation which was wonderful then
I had to leave early to teach an English class by myself so that was
kind of interesting but we just went over animals and then we played a
game where u think of an animal and then if the other person is
thinking of your same animal then they then you get sprayed by water
or if u repeat another animal that's already been said then I drew
pictures with ananda and She drew a portrait of me I'll send the pic
later it was so fun. Then we were in charge of teaching the noche de
hogar which was good so we talked about the new Christmas video and
invited them to share the video with there friends and so far two new
people came to church through it which was so cool.
Saturday: so today was good we had a couple failed appointments in the
beginning of the day but that gave us some time to do weekly planning
which was wonderful. Then we got to do twelve weeks so that was good
only the third time we have gotten time to do that all transfer so
that was wonderful. Then we went to a Brazilian meet buffet which was
so delicious. Then it was on to the church so Elder Wells and Elder
robledo could work on transfers then me and elder Lords went to their
correlation with there ward mission leader so that was good. Then we
had a baptism and I kept all the little kids entertained with teaching
them how to draw so they wouldn't be disruptive during the talks after
the baptism I love all the little kids here so much.
Sunday: well today in church was testimony meeting and it was
wonderful we had three investigators there and one of the In active
members we are working with actual brought two friends to church which
was great. Then in gospel principals we talked about the importance of
prayer which was so powerful. Then it was on to preisthood meeting
about service. Then had a farewell party at abolitas and took selfies
with the little kids which was so much fun haha I love those little
kids there my favorite people in the whole world.!!!! I am staying here, I have a new Companion Elder Kirby
