so this weekkkk. was interesting. for easter week and this being mexico everyone gets off from school for 2 weeks and the adults from work like friday and saturday and sunday. so for us thats like kind of a good thing as that there are some people who have more time and other people who go out of town. But we dont work on friday cause it could be dangerous so we hung out in the offices all day long which was actually pretty fun.
so last wednesday we went to polanco the super nice part of the city because of a problem that we had with an elders green card. wednesday was normally p day but we had to go there so that kind of put a damper on the day. haha but kinda not cause its super nice over there and their is this fresa like mall or something it slike an outdoor food court and has restaurants like panda express wendy´s carls jr. starbucks like its a super nice little food court so i had a teryaki burger from carls jr. hahaha
then we came back and got to work.
Thursday was super busy cause of stuff we had to do in the offices adn i think one of the secretaries got sick so we as we were leaving had to go buy him some anti flu meds and then come back to the offices to give it to him which started our day out pretty late. and we ate with this sister thats pretty cool, we eat pretty well with her too. i found out her husband isnt a member which i found strange cause she like is someone who has it all together with like callings reading scrips and stuff and then her husbands not a member of hte church was surprising. but she talks a bunch so then we like had passed right through an appt we had with some less actives. then we had an appt with a contact that told us she had talked to the missionaries before, she was pretty cool the only downside is that she like told us essentially she listens only cause she´s like a nice person and she is catholic. we´ll see what we can do.
then we went and painted a house with a member.
then i think we visited our ward mission leader who i cant tell whats up with him. that was thursday.
Friday we hung out in the offices wiht the assistents and the other secretaries. in the offices we´ve got nice stuff like a grill. so we bought hamburgers and we ate some pretty nice burgers. and we had permission to watch church movies so we watched charlie -i cried like a baby- and hahaha we found saturdays warrior, such a weird movie. no one had like even heard of it before.
then saturday and sunday we watched conference. and right now im rewatching conference to learn more and study it better. and on sunday night we had three diffferent appts. with inv. one of them live on the other side of the road from our area we went talk but passed them onto the other elders.
Monday was probably the most successful day we´ve had in our area. we got to work and like met with three of the inv. that look like they´re going to progress we went to the junta-district movie- idk why but it was a good day, we stumbled upon various people that we wanted to find to teach so it was nice.
tuesday was kinda stinky we only had one appt planned, so we contacted and made a ton of appts. for the whole week.
so two funny homes that are in our area.
both we found because of less actives that we have in our lists that we went to find. one of the houses we went and didnt find the less active member but we contacted teh lady and put appt. she told us her name was maria, when we went back we knocked and then we found her sister and we went in to teach them and found out her name really isnt maria, we had a good lesson with them both people we commited to reading the pamphlet and a return appt. when we came back they werent home and out came another woman, we contacted her too and now we are teaching her. hahaha we still havent really met the less active nor have we seen the soo called maria and her sister again.
the other house similar story.
we go looking for a less active and my comp messes up and we ask for the wrong name, which obviously wouldnt be home. then we contact the lady but she is a member of some christian churhc and wont accept an appt. we came back like a week or two later to ask for the person who actually lives there. and some other lady comes out the member isnt home we contact the lady she says sure come visit and tells us her name is lucero, so we come back to find lucero, supposedly she´s not home we come back in like two hours and some different lady comes out and she´s like ya im lucero.......... but it wasnt the same person that we had talked to............ so we contacted her, out of eveyone we contacted there she looks the most like interested though so maybe it was what god was planning. hahaha
AND......... what else...... idk here´s some fotos.
love you guys. if you want to email me today ill try and check my computer in the afternooon.......
Bye.
