Tuesday- Today when we went to lunch, the mamita was sick, so we
just did Tupperware and ate in the house today. After lunch we went to our
recent convert, Ana Maria, who has not attended church for the past six weeks,
find out what had happened. She had been sick on Sunday so she had not been able
to attend, but she says she will come this week. Then we saw that Ecuador and
Argentina tied 1-1, so close. After that we headed over to the church for the
lessons that we had tonight with Cesar Valverde and then for Vanessa Rodriguez
right after. We talked to Cesar about Tithing and Fast Offerings and the
importance of them. Then, we taught Vanessa about the importance of Reading and
Praying. She says both are coming along very well and she does seem to be
feeling better about baptism for the 22nd.
Wednesday- Today started out with us meating the zone leaders in the church
at 11 so we could give them the keys to the church, because they needed them for
interviews with President Montalti on Thursday. We then had lunch with the
Pinado family, which is always delicious. We then went to talk to Elizabeth and
Nohelia, but Elizabeth forgot, so we shared a short spiritual thought with
Nohelia and then headed over to the house of a member who had a reference for us
of one of her friends, Marina Llanos. When we got there she said it was her son
who was more interested in the church than anyone, but we taught a short lesson
of the restoration and set up a time to come back when her son would be
there.Then we headed over to the church for our coordination with our ward
mission leader. After we were supposed to have another lesson with Vanessa on
the Tree of Life, but she showed up a half and hour late and we had to have our
ward mission leader talk to her, because someone else had walked in asking
questions about the church and we taught him and set up another appointment and
then found that he was from a different ward, so that was great. Also tonight we
ended up having a zone leader and one of the Presidents secretaries come to the
house and verify obediance. We passed again.
Thursday- Today after lunch we had interviews with President, which later
turned into practices on inviting people to baptism. Then later in my interview
i got criticized on my Spanish and kept being told me Tarzan you Jane, each time I tried to talk in Spanish. So it was a fun day from 3 until 6 when president
left. then we had to go drop some things off at the house and then we had to go
to our members house to pick him up for our lesson tonight at 7:30. We got to
the church at 715 and the other missionaries that share the stake center with us
were there waiting for their investigator who did not happen to show up. Then
After they left Cesar showed up and we did not have much time because he did not
show up til 830. So, we just verified his baptism for the 22nd and his reading
and praying then shared a thought and we headed home.
Friday- Today we had weekly planing in the church, which took until lunch.
then after lunch we went over to Elizabeth's house to see if we could set up an
appointment with her, because our interviews with president were when we were
supposed to meet with her, but we could not get a hold of her cell. So we went
over to Nohelias house to see if Elizabeth was over there, but she was not.
Nohelia also told us that her phone was stolen and the only way to get a hold of
her was through facebook, great. Then we went over to Vanessa's house to teach
the lesson that did not happen on Wednesday. She seems like she is a lot more
ready for baptism now that she was a week ago. We were there until about 7 and
then went over to the house of Marina Llanos to talk with her and her family.
They ended up not being home and there house is far enough away we just walked
back to the house, Called, and set up an appointment for tomorrow.
Saturday- Today we had our morning meeting on how many people we had
invited and committed to sacrament meeting this week. After we went over to
Gloria Astudillo`s house, but we are probably going to have to drop them because
they do not attend church. Only her sons were there so we taught them quickly
and then invited them to church and headed over to lunch. After Lunch we started
heading to our appointments even though not a one of them turned out today and
they were all on different parts of our sector. so we were pushing for time on
every one of our visits. Well could have been a better day i just hope we have a
good attendance to church tomorrow.
Sunday- Today we only had three people in church today Cesar, Marina, and
Hermano Loja, whose entire family is a member, but him, but we keep trying. Then
we went over to the Lawton's house for lunch today. After we went home got
changed out of suits. Elder Christensen had to go pick up medication for the
cold he got, then drop it off at the house. After we went over to Vanessa`s
house to teach her a lesson because she did not attend church. She said she went
to a little city out side of Cuenca for fathers day. After that we went over to Pablo's house and did a family home evening and watched a couple of videos from
the church.
That is this week in Cuenca. I look forward to posting about baptisms next
week, until then,
Love Elder McCammon
One of the other Elders in Jesse's area, Elder Evans leaving for another sector.
