What a fantastic week! Wasn´t it, wasn´t!?!?
So this week was a week of AWESOMENESS!!!! We had tons to do in the office and with the new opened pension we had to get that all ready. And with it being the last week of Agosto, we had reports to get ready and we had to prepare for rent. The good part is I have had a lot of time to clean around the office and do other little projects for other people. For example, Hermana Hugie, the new nurse here in the mission, she has me go through and check her spanish on her papers and occasionally translate for phone calls. I like doing things like that, but i am getting excited to be back out and help tons of people come unto christ!
Last sunday we had a lesson with a couple new investigators, Sandra y Ester. They are a mother and daughter who are great! The mom says she has always felt like something was missing, and she wants to serve a mission. We talked with her for the first time at the noche de Talentos that we had a few weeks ago, and when we shared with her it went great! her daughter is in her last year of studying to become a lawyer and she is super smart! When we share with them they understand everything and just have the BEST questions. For example in our first lesson, they asked why God lets bad things happen and how he can let people do bad things. They just receive it all! And we came back on tuesday and shared again and they had read what we left them and understood EVERYTHING!!!! It was awesome! The spirit gets strong when we go there, and the member that has gone with us does a great job as well. He is a returned missionary and he was unable to serve his whole mission, but is very willing to help now! Its great!
We also have been working so that Elder Valladares knows what are the important things to finish in a day and the things that can wait for the next day. Presidente Kähnlein said that he wants us to really try to get out in the streets more, so we are trying to get it all working for that! It has been hard though, because there is lots to do, but we hope to be able to do better!
Then last night we also went and we have been visiting a little elderly lady who has been struggling because she lives alone, but we have done some service and its great to get some time with her! She is a blast and a good little lady! Then we decided to go after some members that are on the lists from the church that I have never met and the first house we went to was AWESOME!!!!! We were welcomed into the house and there was a mother and her 14 year old son. We just shared a minute because then they had to go to a meeting. But we asked to end with a prayer and we asked the son and he asked us how to do it. So we said, sorry, we thought you were a member, but HE IS NOT!!!! So we taught him how, and he prayed for us. Then we invited him to church with his mother that I have NEVER met! it was great! Then we set up to come and visit them on sunday as well! The son was SO GREAT!!!! I am way excited for them! It was a GREAT day!
Lastly we did another service of taking a table from the 2nd story of a house, over and off the roof, adn then put it in the downstair because the stairs were WAY too small to take it there! But it was fun and afterwards we talked with the hermana (she is so great!) and we talked about who in her neighborhood could use the gospel and it was great! So clearly it was a great semana and with a very fun letter from my mom and a whole lot of teasy from the gang here! ;) hehe Love it! haha
Well I love you all and I hope that everyone is looking and praying for missionary opportunities!!! Loves a todos!!!!
