Hello everyone! how are you all? We'll see how well I remember this week so much went on! but it was all really great!
So tuesday we found six new investigators! wahoo! Teresa is one of them. she's had a rough life. We set up a time to have a member from the ward give her a priesthood blessing. It went really well and we felt the spirit really strong .. we were so elated that we forgot to ask her if she wanted to be baptised.... so today we're planning on doing it. pray that she accepts and that next sunday she can actually go to church! she had to work yesterday so she couldn't go.
wednesday we painted a house in the morning and late in the night we went to work out a few details in the church building for the ward activity. thursday we searched and searched for people. Its good but weird that we don't really actually have less active members in our area. Theres like 5, one of them we aren't aloud to visit, and the others don't really want anything to do with the church so we've had a hard time finding investigators through that route which is where they usually come from. but it sounds like we're going to start teaching english here in a bit so hopefully we'll find some investigators from that.
friday we had the ward activity! it went so well! unfortunately we didn't get any time for proselyting. We got in a short very bizarre lesson with a less active member who lives in front of us. What happened is that the assistants to the president decided to have our zone class on friday so we had to go all the way out to the other church building to have our class in the morning then we rushed to get in a small lesson and then we rushed to a members house to go eat but the member wasn't there so we waited until she came an hour late and then we rushed to the church to decorate for the activity. the great news is that the activity turned out really well! and we got a lot of names but only one is from our area.... But the Spirit was so strong and a few people actually cried and a recent convert shared his conversion story and it was so wonderful! then we all ate cake. then we went home and slept like bricks. we were so tired.
Saturday was the baptism of the bishops daughter and they asked me to play the violin. sister snow and I pulled it off really well without practicing! thank you suzuki for teaching me to learn to play music just by hearing it!
then sunday we went to pick up teresa but she told us that she had to work and couldn't go! arrg. But next week! next week we'll get her there!
Today we went to celebrate my birthday! we went to a mirador which is a viewpoint. Said ( a member who helps us out a TON) went with us and made us sandwhitches (spanish has killed my spelling because I'm pretty sure thats not how you spell that...) It was fun I'll send pictures! There were a bunch of big rocks and we jumped around from rock to rock it felt so good to move like that instead of just walking and walking and walking and climbing a billion stairs! and sister aguirre gave me a gigantic cake fro my birthday so we got to eat cake and we chatted and it was so fun!
Thank you all so much I love you tons!
