What a week!
Last monday: not p-day, but we don´t have scheduled lunches with members on mondays. However, a fantastic family in our branch just randomly decided to offer us lunch! So generous.
Tuesday we played volleyball at the branch activity! We miraculously found a net and ball. The local volleyball coach loaned us a net after we called like 5 different people while talking to someone at the municipal gym behind our house. Woo!
Wednesday we set a goal to have 3 lessons per hour. We need to find new people to teach, and we hadn´t been doing a very good job of talking to everyone. So we truly talked to everyone on Wednesday, basically the whole day. I don´t think we had any fixed lessons, so we just knocked doors and proselyted! woo! The day passed slowly, but it was a great experience. We achieved a lot that day -- not quite 3 per hour, but with good reason -- we had some quality little lessons and found some interesting people who can progress. We learned that an investigator we had only talked to once just died! Oh my. We knew she was old and sick, and we had passed by many times to no avail. The first time we met Laura García, she told us she was looking for the true church of God and didn´t know where to find it. She was super open to the message of the Restoration! I am sure she is accepting the gospel in the spirit world now. We were able to talk with her sister a bit and testify of eternal life and comfort her. Very interesting!
Thursday was another awesome day of talking to everyone. Our old investigators are kinda falling through right now, but we are finding some new people.
Friday we moved a bunch of furniture from a member´s upstairs apartment down below --- it was awesome!!! You should have seen the mad staircase we had to climb and descend with heavy stuff. It was basically the best.
Saturday we went to Alejandro´s house in La Cruz again to help him build it! However, this time was less useful than last time. He has a new car that is cualquier choripan . . . I have some awesome pictures but the computer doesn´t like them. It is slow, has a radiator that consumes water and angrily steams and explodes while driving, and it is basically awesome. :) :).
(my reaction to his car)
Sunday was fantastic. We had a dream charla with an investigator of gold. He is Emanuel, 17 years old, and has an incredibly sincere desire to learn truth and be baptized.
So much more to say. I love this church! It is truly the Church of Jesus Christ. He is our Savior. Trust Him. Love Him. Know that God is real. I love you all!
