Pues, aqui estamos en el tercer mes de la mision!
Not a ton of stuff happened this week. We've been trying our
hardest to get appointments with people because we have like 3-4 people that
realistically could be put on date for baptism really soon. Most of our
appointments fell through, but asi es la vida! We have some pretty solid plans
for this week.
We had a ton of less active members come to church this
week. I think final count was like 5 people, most of whom hadn't been in years.
That was super cool. Manuel, came to church this week with us! We were a little
worried about how it would turn out but it was super awesome. He got a haircut
and everything just for church! He came and probably 10 different people
introduced themselves and were super inviting to him. We talked a lot about the
Holy Ghost and the Atonement. After the 2 hours he told us that he really
enjoyed church and that it answered some questions that he'd had for a long
time. We're going to start working on helping him get ready to receive the
aaronic priesthood!
After that we went over to a members house for food and to
get to know a member family in the Spanish branch that lives outside the
mission. It was super fun, we played Mathew, Mark, Luke, John (Throwbacks to
playing that at the Bolingbroke's when I was like 12) and then we played Cut
the Flour. If you don't know what the game is, it's pretty fun. There's a pile
of packed flour in the middle with a quarter on top and then you go around a
circle counting to a beat. If it is your turn and the number has a 7 or is a
multiple of 7 you clap and don't say the number. If you mess up at all you have
to slice some flour off of the pile in the middle. When the quarter falls, the
person that caused it has to pick the quarter up out of the pile with their
teeth. (If you want an extra challenge, do it in Spanish like we did!)
That's pretty much it for this week. Not a ton else besides
exchanges with the ZL's and mobs of Chihuahuas :)
