So first of all, sorry to any of you
that got the letter last week about me being a zone leader. Anyway that bit
of mis-information definitely made for an interesting week.
It started last Monday when I got
the surprise emails congratulating me on becoming zone leader, news that I had
not been given. So I did some searching,
and nobody knew anything. So I ended up
waiting until Friday when I had my interview with the mission president. Needless to say that kept my mind a little
occupied all week. Well he laughed when I
asked him - definitely not a good sign, ha ha.
So ya, I’m not a zone leader. But
I’m ok with it.
Other than that, it was still an
interesting week. On Monday after our
pday, and buying a rubiks cube for my companion (those things are impossible),
we had a family home evening with the familia Acosta. We were hoping that her grandchildren would
be there so we could start prepping them for baptism. Well due to waiting for buses, we were
running late and didn’t have a chance to make the brownies we wanted to. But we traded the raw ingredients with the
Hermana for a cake she had made. Good trade! Raw food for cooked food, I’ll make that deal
all the time.
We had some surprise visitors, as
the elders from Canada Garay were there dropping off their clothes but it went
good. Unfortunately the grandkids weren’t
there, but it still went well. We talked
about making Christ the anchor of our lives using Elder Uchtdorfs talk. I thought it went really well, and the cake
was good.
Then on Tuesday we visited her again,
and this time the grandkids were there.
But it wasn’t as good. It turns
out the mom is furious at the church right now, and is not happy her kids are
talking to us. Wanna know why... because
at church this past Sunday, her son was peed on. In the chapel by an 8ish year old who pulled
down his pants and peed all over her sons face and chest. Who the heck does that, and what were the
teachers doing? Oh man, this could take
some work to get her to calm down. She
wouldn’t even acknowledge our presence.
Then the week took a turn for the
worse as the week wound down and ended.
On Wednesday I made this spaghetti with sausage I was super pumped to
make. Well never again. The sausage ended up making me ridiculously
sick. So sick in fact, I couldn’t leave
the house on Thursday because of my stomach problems. To make things better, my comp ate the
sausage on Thursday saying I just didn’t know how to cook it. And a little bit later, we were tag teaming
the bathroom. Lesson learned.
It also got cold this week. Yes, I
know the temperature says it’s not that cold, but trust me it is. Remember that there is no insulation and we
walk around all day in it and its windy, rainy and a humid cold. It goes right through any and all
clothing. Luckily our room has a bomb
heater, so we sleep well. Just
everything else sucks, ha ha. Also, it
signifies the start of winter, which consequently means a drop in church
attendance, namely from 100 to down to 34.
Gotta love it! But we will get
through it with hot chocolate and blankets, ha ha.
Also I had my interview with the
President like I said. It went really
well. The news about zone leader,
figuring out if my dad can come to pick me up, and some deeper stuff that
helped me out a lot. It was a good
thing.
Also the champions league final was
this weekend and I know people that took off work to see it. Love it.
Love soccer countries and I’m excited for the world cup. Can’t wait!
That’s it for this week. Love you guys and take care.
