Buenos días!
This week started out with a service opportunity as a
Spanish District. There is a member in the branch that has cancer and so her
yard has needed some work done. We played volleyball in the morning then headed
over to her house just as it started to Rain. It picked up quite a bit and soon
enough we were soaked. We ended up being in the rain for like 3 hours or
something so I'll send a super nice picture of us soaking. It ended up being
pretty fun!
Another thing we did this week, we made a church tour video!
It's up on my Facebook and we were pretty happy with how it turned out. Go take
a look :)
We visited a less active family that lives about a 45 min
drive away from our apartment. They were super cool! They live right in a
vineyard and had some super cool views. I forgot to get pictures but, if we
ever go back I'll snap a few.
We had a brach activity where everyone brought a bunch of
stuff they didn't want and then you could take other people's junk home. Kinda
like a thrift store junk swap activity. It turned out well though, most of us
just played soccer though.
We had a super awesome Lesson with 3 people we are teaching,
Lel, Cristian, and Gina. We also had Ginas sister (who is a member) with us,
her nephew (Less active member), and her niece (on a mission in Utah, she
skyped in). It was a super powerful lesson and Gina told us she knows the Book
of Mormon is true, she just wants an answer from God telling her to join the
church. We invited them all to chuch and they said they would come! Sadly they
didn't end up showing... not sure why but we will keep working with them.
We got to watch the Face to Face with Elder Soares and it
was cool to see him speak Spanish and Portuguese! I could understand like 70%
of the Portuguese which was super awesome. Overall it was a pretty good
broadcast.
We also had a breakfast with the Loveridges a family that
helps in the branch. Hno. Loveridge is a dentist so their house is maaaasive.
He either said 18k or 80k sq/ft. I think it was probably 18...cuz it was big
but not that big haha. We had some super good French toast then played bocce(?)
ball, ladder golf, Frisbee golf, and pool in their backyard!
It was a pretty solid week! We also had interview with
President and it sounds like elder Jones and I will probably stay here for next
transfer so I'm pumped for that!
¡¡Los quiero!!
