week 5 change 3

Well there goes another week and WOW! IT WAS A FAST ONE!!!! haha


Last monday I went home and decided I was going to rest cause I felt sick right? well I crashed. I slept for 2.5 hours and then it was time to work, and I still felt sick. We finished the day and my comp said "ya, lets give you a blessing" I easily agreed and so we did that and planned as if nothing was wrong and we were going to work really hard the next day. and we did. haha In fact, the next morning I woke up with energy! something I hadnt experienced in a while! haha It just comes to show the power in the priesthood!


We got some new investigators with a baptismal date now! a family that accepted a date to work for and are super great! The mom is the hardest of all of them, which is a little bit backwards, but thats just the way that it goes! haha They are so receptive though and I LOVE IT! haha Its fun teaching people who actually want to learn in place of someone who doesnt give a rip! haha


We also ran into crazy carlos again this week! haha That was interesting, because we didnt have very much time but he really wanted us to visit with him. So we stopped for a minute and shared with him. He told us his story on how one time an hermana in the ward said that everyone could have coffee except for him, and now he is inactive. Really its quite the story, and I am sure that it sounds funnier everytime! haha But we talked with him, shared a scripture, and then we had to leave, but he said " you know I would really just like for you guys to just have some time to talk, you are always behind your schedule and never have time to just sit and chat. and we explained, yes, this is true. and then we left and he was a bit disgusted with us, but oh well! haha


Also, this week there has been fires out the wazzooo!!!!! The mountiains around us were actually in flame for like 3 days, and it made the CNN-Chile because it was out of control for a while! We have had smoke in the air for at least the last week, and I am pretty sure that they are still burning some things now, but at least it is under control.


Nothing really big happened this week, and it all went really fast! I just want to end with two more thoughts. First, we had another confirmation, but not both cause the other investigator that was baptized last week showed up late today. haha but thats alright. but Francisco, the 10 year old, he was confirmed and when he finished he juts had a great big ole smile and the bishop gave him a hug and it was just awesome!


The second thing is just a funny splurt. I dont know if I have said anything About this before, but there is an hermano in the ward who every sunday is creepier than michael Jackson. hahaha I say that with as much love as is possible. He is married and has kids and everything, but every week when I shake his hand he gives me the weirdest smile. and at first I thought maybe it was just me, but I told Elder Alvarez and he gets a kick out of it everytime and he agrees that it is clear that this man is a creeper. haha At least he doesnt creep anyone in the ward, but its just weird cause he will wink or try to give me an EXTENDED sigh hug. Like minute long, but I now how to push off! haha but thats all. and I only see him once a week, so we are good.


Thats all I got for this week! It went REALLY fast, and this is the last week of the change. I am afraid I am on the choppping block and might get shipped out of Peña Blanca, but we shall see! Chao!
