This week has been extremely hard. I have never been so mad, frustrated and just ready to come home. Problems with INV´s, comp, ward, and just about everything else. I wish we could serve a mission with how it was back in the day. Without so many goals and leaders watching over you and telling you what to do. I´m about ready to drop one of the AP´s with have and the two ZL´s here.
Well...My comp is driving me nuts... still. He
thinks that he is the perfect missionary but has yet to open his eyes
and see that he is one of the problem missionaries. He is constantly
saying stupid stuff and the members don´t like him at all. I have had a
couple mini cambios and the members have asked a ton of
questions. I have had to apologize to the members for the way he acts! I
have to ask the members and INV´s to turn off the TV or he gets sucked
in immediately.
I have found a new hobby!! Something that not only
is really fun but that is going to help me keep the spirit when I get
home, maybe keep me out of trouble also haha. I have started Indexing and I freaking love it. I have been going every Thursday morning to help out a little ol
lady in the church with indexing. I have been reading Chilean papers
from 1890 and writing in all the info. It has been so much fun. I will
for sure be doing it when I get home. I promised the little ol lady I would continue helping out with my Chilean brothers from the states.
We contacted all week and didn´t have any success up until Saturday night at 9:00. Last house that we contact the lady lets us in and accepts a baptismal date and says she will go to church on Sunday.
We ended up getting her to church and she loved it. If everything goes
well she will be baptized the night before I come home. We were really
excited. We hadn´t had any success and finally last minute we find
someone. I had been really discouraged because my comp just doesn´t
learn. He struggles talking to people and says the same thing in every
contact.
This week had been really tough though. The members
know I only have 2 weeks left and keep bugging me about it. If we go to
their house to eat lunch or visit they talk about home and stuff and we
lose a ton of time. I have decided we are going to take as little time
as possible there in their houses. We did have a member take us to lunch
today and we ate sushi. We all four ate over 40 rolls of sushi. It was
really good.
I am having mixed emotions about coming home. I´m
ready to take the next step and get studying and working but don´t want
to leave teaching the people I have come to really love. There are so
many members and INV´s that I´m gonna miss a ton. I´m just happy that
the technology will allow me to keep in contact with them.
Well I am excited to work my butt off these next two weeks. Love you all and see you really soon
