Well this was a really crazy week!
So... On Sunday we had the Despedida (going away for the
missionaries that are going home). I got to see a bunch of friends. Then on Monday
we had a short p-day. We got to write and then we went to go to work. Well what
happened was we had to go to a place called Del Viso which is kind of close
because my comp had to sign some forms. Then we started working really late
because we were traveling. But on Monday we had a really great lesson with the
Bishop and Matias! Then on Tuesday was normal. Wednesday was my birthday. We
started with a planning session for the week. And then we went to an Asado with
the Martinez family. They are the investigators Matias that I had talked about.
It was really good the food! But unfortunately they are not progressing. He
refuses to give up smoking and when we were there on my birthday he takes out
two giant beer bottles. And starts drinking in front of us, saying you got to
celebrate but wasn’t listening to us. So we ate. And then we dropped them. Haha!
It was sad and a little hard but it was what needed to be done. So we left and
went to work. And then at the night we had ward council. Haha. The bishop said
he was going to bring me something but didn’t have time. So after we left and
get to our house he calls us and says come down. We go down and he has a cake!
It was super good! Thursday we had a Zone meeting and then found a couple
potential investigators. And then had a nice family home evening with a family
that I love! We made French fries! They didn’t come out very well. And then
while I was making them the Hermana hands me the dish that had the French fries
and it was a metal plate that was right by the stove. When I touched it I
burned myself. And then I dropped the plate and then I stepped bad and rolled
my ankle. Haha! At least it still wasn’t my birthday haha. And then on Friday
we had to wake up at 3 to go to the temple! We went and met in Escobar and then
waited for a tour bus to pick us up and it was huge and comfy. Much better than
those that we used with LIGHT haha! It was 2 stories also. We went to the
temple! It was so special! It was something that I was really missing! It made
me think about a lot of things! We got back about 7 and had another family home
evening with another family after going out and looking for people with their
son. Nobody came out. We ended up making French fries again! Haha! What
happened was. I was making French fries but they weren’t coming out very well
and I didn’t know why! And I was really frustrated! But they explained it to me.
There are 2 types of potatoes. White and black. The black ones are cheaper so I
would buy those. Apparently what happens is they will up with water and it
makes them not good. So we used the white potatoes and they were so
gooooood!!!! Haha! And I’m getting better at peeling! Haha! Then on Saturday
and Sunday we watched the conference in Pilar! It was super cool that they
spoke in their own languages this year. When it got to the Elders that spoke in
Spanish (because it was translated in the TV that we were watching it on) we
ran to the chapel to listen to it in Spanish in the native tongue! It was such
a cool experience! I learned so much! Then it was raining the whole time and I didn’t
have an umbrella or anything and so I got sick again! =/ oh well. Haha! Then we
are at transfers. My comp thought that he was going to stay here. And when they
told him he was leaving he got upset. Poor guy. But he is in Capital now. And
now I’m with an elder from Panama Elder Montenegro! Im excited to get to know
him and work with him! Well that was my week! I love you all! And I invite
everyone to watch the Conference and rewatch it! It was so great! I was sick
and I went and even though I was sick and didn’t feel good I never got sleepy
and paid attention the whole time and learned so much! I love this Gospel and
the Mission! And I love all of you! Have a great week!
