This week was super fun. It started with my companion´s birthday. Elder Prince and I got up early and made him a Mexican breakfast with egg tacos and guacamole. It was super good. We also made horchata, and it is amazing. We are starting to make a lot of it. The rest of Tuesday we helped with 2 moves, first with members in the ward moving across town, and then helping move in the sister missionaries. That took our whole day, but it was nice to spend a day in normal clothes, working. I read a really cool scripture in personal study. Its Doctrines and Covenants section 31. It really motivated me.
So our investigator Johana is still here, she was supposed to move last
week, but is still here. We don't know when she will leave. But, people in the
ward are going to help her boyfriend find a job, so she will probably move back
in about a month. So that's really cool. Its amazing to watch her accept the
gospel and how happy it makes her. Elders Prince and Amaguaña had a baptism
Saturday. Her name is Yensi and she is 12 years old. Her dad is a recent convert
and she really loves the church. After Elder Macias interviewed her, I went in
the room and I could feel the spirit in there. It was really cool.
It rained a lot this week. Thursday to Saturday, at one point each day it
started pouring. On Saturday we were just leaving a house really far away from
our next appointment and it started pouring. We stayed under a shade structure
and talked to the security guard. he was really cool. We left him our number, so
we will see if he calls.
We also got to give a couple priesthood blessings this week. Two to Johana
and her little sister, and another to the mother of a recent convert. It was
really cool being able to help those people. The sister missionaries are really
making progress with our old investigators, I know they are supposed to have
that area. We also went contacting for the first time this week. We talked to
like 6 women in the street, interchangeably. A few of them were quite interested.
It was really powerful when I got to bear my testimony to them, telling them how
the gospel has changed my life and really how happy I am in this church. Being a
missionary is such a great blessing. President Holland says it is, by definition
the most important thing we can do.
Fun food things this week:
1) Beso de negro. Its a candy here, and translates to kiss of the black
woman. It was actually super good. I want another. Oh yeah, we ate them on
valentines. so I still got a kiss on valentines.
2) Bacon chips. They have chips here that taste like bacon. They
rock.
So that's what happened this week with me.
Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteIn total, the rolex replica sale Deepsea Challenge is able to go down to 12,000 meters, which is 39,370 feet. The world of science still hasn't answered why this is necessary, but we think it is really cool (don't we? I know I do). Even with its large size most people want to wear this. I think it is amusing how Rolex produced a special long bracelet to strap the rolex replica sale Deepsea Challenge to the robotic arm. What was Mr. Cameron wearing on his wrist? Mere humans only get regular Rolex Deepsea replica watches uk. If the robotic arm had robot eyes then it would likely have been able to see the dial in the murky depths. Rolex replica uk uses their very nice CHROMALIGHT lume in blue for the dial, which is surrounded by a massive chapter ring (and we thought it was big on the regular Rolex Deepsea replica watches sale). The bezel insert is ceramic, done in Rolex replica watches uk is proprietary Cerachrom material with platinum colored numerals. For a piece that will likely never be produced in any commercial capacity, Rolex is sure going through a lot of effort to tease people.
