This week was pretty aight, sometimes its hard when you find awesome
families that seem to be really interested at first, and then for some reason
drop you like nothing, but we are doing good things here in CasaBlanca.
Tuesday we had district meetings! We talked about how working with members
will help us to be a lot more effective in each area of the work, and it went
pretty well. My district is amazing, We are always pumped up when we get
together. After that it was a pretty normal day, with some contacting and some
families not wanting stuff.
A huge focus that our ward mission leader is putting us on and also what we
have been thinking about is how we can help the members share and be active in
the gospel. The ward here hasn't had the easiest time with past missionaries, so
we are focusing on how we can repair that trust with the members and work
together. It takes a lot of work, some of the members sometimes don't even want
us to visit them, but that's what we`re working on!
Thursday night we started an exchange with Tintal!!! I went over to my old
area with Elder Parraga, and it was one of the coolest things ever to be back in
my birthplace(Mission wise). I LOVE Tintal!! I was there from Thursday night to
Friday night, and it was a lot of fun. Sometimes it's really hard in Tintal to
have appointments set, which is what happened to us, but it was pretty cool
still to just be there. I got to meet with Nelson the first investigator I ever
visited! Unfortunately not a whole lot has changed for him, but he is still
trying to get married to his stubborn wife!! It was a good time.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty cool, we where able to teach a new
investigator that was from Missionary Contact, her name is Laura Cristancho, and
she is awesome! She is married to her husband!! We haven't been able to teach
them both together because of the husband's work schedule, but the sister is
amazing! We taught Laura the Restoration, and she was the first investigator I've
had that has really understood the importance of this message! When we told her
how Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith to restore the
gospel, she said "Woo, that's like a really big deal..." And we where just there
like "Yeah, that is a really big deal!!"
I'm lovin this work, and we are working with the members and with a few
families that just need little stuff to be baptized. The time passes so fast, we
are almost going to finish this transfer again. It's the
best!!!!!
Love
