Well sorry I´m getting your
letter to you so late. I forgot to tell you that Every Monday opening a
month we have a consejo. The MP, AP´s and all the ZL´s get together and
report the numbers they have gotten for the month. We stand up and say
how many baptisms we got for the month and what our goal was. We then
put a new goal and talk about how we are going to reach it. We had to go
to the consejo today and of course we drove up with Pres and his wife.
They are really funny.
We got to the consejo and found out about a lot of
stuff. We got 138 BAPTISMS THIS LAST MONTH. That is the best Pres.
Humphrey has seen since he has been here. We found out that now we are
able to write New converts, friends/family, and Ward members and
Priesthood leaders. We also found out that we are getting 13 more sister
missionaries...
After our consejo we had a catered lunch from a
Peruvian place. They gave us what seemed to me like Tai food. It was
really good. It was almost like a curry. To celebrate our number of
Baptisms we ended up going to a turf soccer field. There were three
fields and we split up into teams and played 5 against 5. I have learned
I wasted my time trying to play Football. I should have played soccer.
We were playing against Latins that have played their whole life and I
was schooling a lot of them. I ended up having like 6 goals. It was a
blast! We now have P-day all day because of the Consejo. That's why I´m
writing so late.
This week we had the mini mission. I had a mini
missionary from Parral. He ended up being older than me. We ended up
getting twice the work done and we got 6 to church. It was so sick being
able to work with a mini missionary. I got to run the show and we had a
lot of success. We are trying to find another joven to come out and
work with us so we can keep doing divisions. It was really nice getting
twice the work done.
So earlier this week we left the house from getting
over with P-day and we went to go visit someone. They ended up not being
there so we did contacts to try and find. We knock on the first door
and they guy lets us in right away. It was a dorm room of 4 guys and the
one dude was cooking. They let us in and tell us to sit down. We sat
down and one dude comes in and starts talking to us. He goes to close
the door and hesitates, then closes it. The back of the door was covered
in cut out porn from different magazines. It was really awkward and it
was right in front of us. One of the guys says he has to leave and
leaves us with the guy cooking in the kitchen. We ask him if we can
share something with him and he says to hold on. He takes like 10
minutes and my comp finally asks him if we can come back. He then says
¨¿no quieren panqueques?¨ We were super confused. He ended up making us
basically crapes with manjar or a caramel syrup kind of thing. They were
actually really good. We shared with him and walked out. We were so
confused and had no idea what to do.
We had asked an INV for a reference and she told us
her neighbor that lived in the apt. right in front. She said the
daughter had been super sick and had just been taken to the hospital. We
had been praying all week for this family and for the little 6 year old
girl. We passed by multiple times and could never find them. during the
mini mish we passed by the INV and she said to come back in an hour. I
decided to knock on the neighbors door. She opened up and said she was
really busy. I managed to get my foot in the door before she could close
it. I told her we had heard about her daughter and only wanted to say a
prayer. She told us hang on... closed the door.. and came back to let
us in. We walked in to see the cutest little 6 year old girl with a mask
over her face. I have never felt so bad for someone. We prayed and
shared with... THE WHOLE FAMILY! We found out the mom is a less active
and the kids and the husband aren´t baptized. We were stunned with the
blessing we had just received. It was really cool to be able to show the
mini mish that miracles like that really happen. We have a lesson with
them tomorrow. The family is the family Cantero. If you can pray for
them it would be great.
We had a mini cambio with the AP´s and we ended up
not having much success. I did learn a lot though. It was a really slow
day but I learned a lot.
Answers to questions....
Week... has been awesome. Some of the best lessons and numbers I have had in a long time.
Inv´s...
We are finding a lot that have been progressing. Still have the ones
that won´t take the next step... Not wasting too much time with them.
No, I have not been beat up by little unruly Chilean kids. Good thing huh.
Did not have time to pass by the office to see if my mail got here.
Got his first letter. not sure if that was your question.
Easter... I PREACHED THE GOSPEL!! Make sure to tell the kids, especially Ainsley there is no Spring break in the mission field.
Well I love you all and miss you tons!
