Hey,
My weeks been pretty good. We've been trying really hard to FIND NEW PEOPLE! It’s so hard and sometimes discouraging, but we keep moving forward:)
The week started out pretty slow. We didn't have much planned. On Tuesday We taught English class. I love teaching English class. Now that we are officially the only companionship in our district who are native English speakers, we are in charge! A recent convert Gustavo comes every week and does so good! He even said the prayer in English! I was so proud:)
On Wednesday we had district meeting. I gave a talk about contacting and finding people....how appropriate:) and then the rest of the day....CONTACTING! We got to put into practice what I talked about:) Elder Maya my district leader also talked about how we need to meet more with the members. Even though that visit doesn’t count as a lesson, that is how we find strong investigators, through the members. We are working with a lot of part member families.
On Thursday, I taught English class again, this time I had Elder Cantero say the prayer...that was funny. Gustavo gave us a HUGE bag of fruit at the end. Hooray for being healthy!!! After that we ran over to Marilyn’s house to have Noche de Hogar with her and the Elders. She is a great lady, a little strong and overwhelming at times, but she really needs and loves the missionaries. She's got a really strong testimony and we always have a good time with her. She's the one who decided she was going to give be a back rub (not sure If I told you about that, but let’s just say she soaked me and my clothes in mint oil, I smelt like I took a bath in Listerine) She always feeds us at the end, we ate bread and different assortments of sausage from Barcelona (in honor of Elder Cantero) ....so much for the fruit:)
On Friday we had a lesson with Florentino, Right after a little old man sat by us. His name is Pablo, We see him all the time at the plaza in front of our piso. We talked and gave him a pamphlet. He's really sweet and just wants someone to talk to. We told him we would see him around. Then next day we saw him on the same park bench reading the pamphlet. He was so nice and sweet to us. He just wants a friend.
Saturday we visited Amalia, the cutest little girl EVER! I love her to death! I had to explain to her how it was possible that Mary was the mother of Jesus and that God was his dad. She was so confused and her mom was just laughing at us the whole time. I decided to just stop and read from the bible. I've never had to do that before and it was almost impossible in Spanish. Afterwards we went to Elizabeth's (less active) house with the elders and had a barbeque. That was fun. But the stars were beautiful that night! We saw the little dipper and the big dipper. The stars are super clear here...or maybe I just don't know what Utah stars are like anymore:)
Sunday was pretty normal. I get to give a talk in church next week! SWEET! Well that was pretty much my week. It's starting to feel so weird that I go home so soon. Hermana Spencer is great though, she really helps me stay focused and in line. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm training her. She's been progressing so much and each day I see a difference. It’s fun being around someone so new on the mission. Her excitement reminds me of how I started and rekindles that fire. Its lots of fun.
Thanks for everything! I love you guys so much. I hope things are great for you this week!
