Week 83

HEY.

i had a great week, probably baptised my best convert so far this week.
what else happened........ one sec let me check.........

okay. to start we had this meeting to fix some probs we had in the offices between the assistents and the secs...... i thought i did a very good job of civilly handling a complicated situation, we got all of our points cover but they just got angry........ so the situation right now is semi uncomfortable.
but.......... we did what we could to fix the problems kindly

and in the night we went to visit our inv. we inherited when the area was opened to the whole ward. she had a baptismal date that is quickly approaching and hardly any teaching.......  i dont understand she had like 4 sundays and didnt know who joseph smith wsa....... so we the other day went and gave an overview of the commandments and said we´re going to teach these things semi explained and she was like so you guys dont drink coffee?? dnag i love coffee.... i guess ill stop drinking that tomorrow mornign................. hahaha before being taught already accepting the commitments.


Anyways that was tuesday. then on wedensday we went and met a couple people that live on the other half of the ward. helped some lady put up her little store front that sells corn.
then to the fmily alba thats a 55 year old couple with the 36 year old daughter and 17 and 10 year old grandchildren. they are always super fun to go teach i love them a bunch. they used to be so frustratin gand now they read and are doing things cause they want to like pray and read and its been awesome to see their progress.
anyways we were goint to start with the prayer and we were like fernanda its your turn and shes like no i did it last time and the grandpa was like No, i want to say the prayer. salvador for the win. and he gave a very well done prayer, and he was very not good at praying and isnt good at expressing himself. idk i really iked that.

thursdayi bought another pair of shoes.... in the tianguis-like a street famers market that sells everything-  cause i wear one pair of my shoes on sunday the other ones everyday and theyre super comfy but i am afraid that in my next area if i wear them everysingle day theyll get wrecked so i bought a cheaper pair of shoes, theyre pretty nice looking too. also saw a sister from my last ward named juanita, we used to eat with her every single thursday when i was in guelatao. i asked about the ward how it ws doing how were my converts and stuff and she said that they have like 25 in attendence and the stake pres told them if they dont start working theyre going to be a branch...... but idk it was really nice seeing that sister she´s sooo nice and has a very sweet testimony.
then lauras baptismal interview, then after she taught us how to make salsa in a molchajete, we´re pretty much champion salsa makers now, watch out utah.

then friday was cool we split up with the ward mission leader and taught the law of chastity to our inv. and orchard and the ward mission leader had a family home evening in the members house with a different inv. family. twas a good evening. the family home evening wasnt even our idea nor did we even prepare the lesson we just accompanied it.

then saturday. probably one of my favorite days in teh mission. so we get up go to the gym come back eat brecky get ready and the ward or the YM-YW- missionaries are having a go to the temple open house activity. our ward went from like zero ymyyw to like 15 in about 2-3 weeks visits and activities acutally help. and we brought laura. rented a little bus and went to the temple suepr cool experience being in the temple for the first time in 19 months. then comiing back from the temple we had the baptism. all the people that came to the temple were asked to stay for the baptism and quite a few more people came plus the primary sand a special musical number int eh middle. in total it was just a perfect baptism. THEN we went ot eat the food with a sister kinda late, but she was super cool cause we tried to cancel like the week before and she was like, How are we going to leave you without eating we´ll wait till you can come. so we ate at like 4 pm then picked up a different inv. family and took them to the temple open house. super cool. idk love the temple love the family, they felt the spirit and the peace there.

and on sunday we went to church had some miracle people show up. and lots of less actives. laura got confirmed and then after worked hard and all in all a great week.

Now, only one more sunday in this ward till i have changes. pretty crazy. i used to not like the ward cause it didnt function now im like actually sad to leave here. its pretty fun.


hope you had a great week and that you are ready for school. and i saw the wake board looked sick.

Love you guys.
