This
week has flown by, it's crazy how fast the time is going. On Tuesday morning we
worked out in one of our pueblos, El Palmar, and then ate mediodía with a
family who lives there.
On
Wednesday we visited Josefa! She gave us food too, but it was just kind of
lukewarm chicken, chips, and this funny crouton-ish toast bread from a bag. She
also had us take pictures of various rooms in her piso to send to a friend of
hers. She's so funny haha. On Wednesday night we went to the noche de hogar at
Estefania's house with Thomas!
On
Thursday morning we met with Eva, who disappeared for a few days last week but
it turns out she had just lost her phone. We went over the restoration again,
but more in-depth. She really liked it! We ate mediodía with the Mendez family,
they always have the best food! In the evening we met with one new investigator
we found last week named Margarita! We taught her the restoration and it went
really well! And right after that... we taught another new investigator, also
named Margarita! The restoration with Margarita 2 went well too.
On
Friday morning we had district meeting, then all went afterwards so that one
elder in our district who's new to the mission could try kebab for the first
time. On the way back from district meeting we got contacted by some Russian
Jehova's Witnesses (they're called testigos in Spanish), that was a little
awkward... they tried to give us one of their pamphlets so we were like,
"okay cool, here's one of ours for you!" but it seems like that kind
of scared them for some reason (I do not know why) and they quickly said they
didn't need anything and took their pamphlet back and left haha.
On
Saturday afternoon we taught Conchi, she's hilarious. We taught about learning
and serving in the church--this really is a church where we're always teaching
and learning from each other!
On
Sunday we had church (claro). Eva didn't come at first, which we were sad
about, BUT turns out she was just working. And get this: after she finished her
tour, she walked all the way across town to come to the last 45 minutes of
sacrament meeting! (our church is backwards and sacrament meeting is last).
She's the best.
I've
been studying the scriptures a lot lately and I just have to say that I LOVE
THE SCRIPTURES! There is so much that we can learn from them. One thing that
I've learned from being a missionary is how to study with a purpose--study
trying to find a specific answer or understand a specific concept. I know that
as we are really searching and trying to understand the scriptures, the Spirit
will teach us new things every time we read them!
Love,
Hermana Walker
