so this week was exhausting. hahaha
wednesday - we visited one of elder norrs old areas, then got back to teach like two lessons,
thursday - was a normal day. we went to visit a family that we think had been in teaching before and we knocked and they didnt really want to let us in, but we got in to go teach for like 5-10 my comp started teaching and it was pretty rote, not bagging on him at all we all do it sometimes, but i watched the people tune out so i completely turned the lesson around and the spirit was there, and they were more interested now that they were when we started so thats the hope. progress.
friday- went to polanco adn wasted like an hour and a half in line to have them tell me to redo all the paperwork i had done.......... lame. and annoying cause i had ot have like 15 missionaries companionships come in to sign and i was going to have to call them all in again. then in the afternoon the plans kiinda blew up but we did splits with a recent convert and it was pretty good.
saturday - we found laura. she is like such an amazing inv. she okay im going to tell you guys what she told us. she has a boyfriend thats a member of the church, he´s never been pushy or anything about her being mormon or nothing but she´s been interested in religion and supposedly he´s invited her. so a week before we were on the bus she saw us and called her boyfriend to tell him that we were on the bus with her, he told her to talk to us, she said she was scared but she´d talk to us if we got off at the same time as her. we did. the interesting thing was we got off late. as in we missed our stop for one reason or another. so she contacted us and then told us she´d never been baptised. hahaha yayayay so on saturday we finally got to visit her in her super fresa apartment building it actually has a doorman and an elevator. hahaha like really nice building. she had already read the pamphlet and was super ready to listen to us. so great. oh ya and in honor of the fourth of july we wore blue white and red ties and sang the national anthem.
sunday only one of the three inv. that promised to go to church went, thats always dissapointing.
sunday was uneventful in the area, we always go back home a little early on sundays to do weekly planning adn to study and sutff, and this sunday we had planned a dinner BBQ wiht the assistents, cause they always come stay sunday to take the reports and to report to pres. i made moms bowtie pasta salad, we even bought feta and put it in the thing i forgot were the pine nuts. we grilled hamburgers brawts had jello and watermelon. it was pretty good. hahaha
then monday we were working oon stuff in the offices, when pres called and asked if we had appts. in teh afternoon, the answer was yes, he said cancel them please. cause htere was an elder who had tried to kill himself, or OD on pills the night before and leaving the hospital pres wanted us to be with him to be on suicide watch before he went home the next morning so we went with pres to his super nice house to spend the day and night making sure the elder was okay, pres wanted that one of us was always with him even in the middle of the night like sitting in a recliner while he, the missionary, was asleep. instead of that cause that would have been a little awkward and semi degrading, so we decided to pull an all nighter and hang out with him all night long.
so we ended up playing monopoly 5 times, then we watched disney movies till like 330 ish before some of us crashed. so we all went to bed and my comp stayed up awake the other 2 hours before we had to be up at 545 to go to the airport. then we got back to the offices at 8 am went to bed till like ten cause i had to wake up at ten cause i had a ton of missionaries here to sign migration papers. annoying for them. then we went to the area and worked all day long. So that was crazy.
Have you guys seen the lego movie? cause i thought it was stellar.
In the afternoon on tuesday when we were all super tired we visited laura again, she had read like up to chaptre 17 in the Book of Mormon and she read the plan of salvation pamphlet. hahaha it was like a weird lesson to explain the book of mormon cause she already understood.hahaha and then she was like so church on sunday how does that go? hahahaha we´d love to take you to the church show you around and explain it. she was like ya that sounds perfect!
can you say golden?
and then ya today tried to catch up a little on sleep.
love you guys!
