Well Dad is
working like crazy for Tax season and we are working like crazy for new
investigators and to just survive basically! Haha we had an awesome week
though! Well i dont remember if i told you but my companion sings good
so the mission asked him to sing in a mission choir for the Conference
with the Apostle. (There is a mission conference with the apostle and
then we have luck because he is coming to our Stake Quilicura for other
conference). So anyways, my companion has to go to the office every
Tuesday and Friday in the morning and I have exchanges with Elder
Carillo those days! And this week we had an exchange (or whatever the
gringo elders call it in english) with our Zone Leaders. I went with
Elder Richardson in our sector and we taught some haitians because he
knows Creole pretty good. And we ordered pizza because why not :)
In
the week, we wanted to fast to find new investigators. We put the goal
at the beggining of the week for like 4 new people i think. And the end
of the week, we had 9. I think we can say that fasting works! Wow it was
so cool this week. So the Mission has norms for numbers and the Zone
has other norms and goals. In our zone, they have a norm for people with
baptismal date, lessons with members, new investigators, and
investigators progressing (go to church and have a date for baptism).
They are decent goals and this week, we did all of them! We had two in
the church who are soooo good. One is the sister of a recent convert and
she just came from Peru Monday. We met her tuesday, taught another day,
and she went to church and wants to learn everything! Another one that
went is a friend of a less active and he asked her about her church and
went to church alone (like 3 weeks ago). Elder Williams and I taught
them for like the second time because the other elders left and they
both went this week! Wow it was a good week but there is still so much
more to do here. The Sector is hard because everyone works sooo much and
the mornings and early afternoon, there isnt anything. But of well, we
just need to keep finding people from the Members and their friends. I
imagine that our ward is probably similar. The missionaries might be
struggling for lack of people to teach. Help them out! Dont be scared,
just tell them about your friends or less actives in the ward that maybe
they dont know of! OK family, this is basically what i remember from
the week, love you all!
