This week was a long week of inviting many people to church, because it was
stake conference here as well, so we could have no baptisms. Tuesday we decided we would go to the houses of all of our converts and invite them to the bring
other people to the church, we did this mostly because all of our investigators
were not home or available today, convenient right? Wednesday we tried having a
couple of lessons with our investigators today, but it was raining and all of
them had a reason not to be able to come. We finished off today with our coordination with our ward mission leader where we are now going to try putting
in motion a movie night for the ward. Thursday we tried teaching these
investigators again we had a new return misionera with us, because both of the
investigators are girls and it would help getting to know her since they are of
a similar age. Neither showed up so we ended up contacting for some more time
today with no success. Friday - some how we keep getting stood up this week we
tried teaching some of our other investigators today and none of them were in
their houses so we ended up going in search of a menos activo with one of our
mamitas and they ended up not being home, so more contacting. Saturday, we had a
training on obedience in our zone today with Presidente Montalti. At the end of
it all he sent leaders on exchanges and with everyone so they could check the
whole house and every song people have, just generally to see if people are really
breaking rules or not. I ended up going with one of our zone leaders, Elder Bruna, to his sector and his comp came to mine. By the time every thing was
worked out after the training and people had got all of their stuff to their appropriate sector it was like 6 o clock. First we had to go apologize to their
mamita for Saturday because we missed lunch and she ended up giving us a lot of
food. She is a person that believes if they can finish it she did not give them
enough. Elder Bruna is a very small elder as well, we ended up being there until
8 because she gave him more food than he is tall! Then at 8 we just went and
verified commitments they had to church tomorrow. Sunday - we had about 42 people
as a zone in church today. Pres. Montalti gave a talk about baptism and ended up
putting baptismal dates with a lot of those who did not have them and then we
talked to him after. Then went to lunch with the gringos in our ward and tried
visiting some investigators and were only able to visit one of them who was
double thinking baptism, but she did not attend church or read the good book
this week and explained that is why. That is this week hopefully we
are able to do better this week and getting more people to progress. The work is
hard, but it is worth every second.
Love,
