Woohooo this last week was a great week because we got to go
out of the house and finally get back to work on Saturday! I still have the
broken ribs, it is not too bad, but we can finally get back out onto the
street. I never in my life thought that I would miss the smell of dirty roads
covered in dog poop and garbage, but it is the most magical smell in the world because
that means I am not stuck inside the house. Ok deep breath, lets begin.
So as far as our people go, they are progressing well. After
the week of being in the house, we lost contact with alot of our investigators,
so the last few days we have been repassing by their houses to catch back up
with them and teach them and see how they have been. Yesterday we went to the
house of a Haitian investigator named Dezama and after a week of not seeing him
I knew there would be changes in his house. But I was not expecting him to have
a child! He told us his wife gave birth to their daughter early, and when we
passed by yesterday Dezama was holding her in his arms, it was so cool. We then
taught about the Plan of Salvation and testified about the value of eternal families,
it was a great lesson. On Monday Elder Atkinson and I were in the street on our
way to a lesson and since we cannot use our bikes now, we decided to do a few
contacts in between every appointment, and we contacted an elderly man on the
side of the road. He was going home and we found out he lives really close to
us, we were able to talk and fix an appointment. We then started doing that in
between every lesson, and we have had a ton of new investigators! Overall it
has been a good past couple of days.
Ok so the funny story of the week. so on Sunday we showed up
to church and I saw the young men in the ward dying in the back corner of the
chapter, so I went over there to ask them what was going on. They had found out
I fell off of a roof and they found a video on youtube of a bunch of little
Argentinan kids on the roof of a shed and they were filming themselves. Then
they fell off as well, and teh young men did a video edit and put my face on
the faces of the people that fell off. They think they are sooooo funny. So now
everytime that I see one of them they start breaking out in laughter and cannot
control themselves. Well, I can check off getting bullied by a bunch of Chilean
teenagers from my bucket list.
I am loving the mission and everything that we are doing and
the work that we are putting in. I would not rather be anywhere else. I hope
everyone back at home is good, have a good week!
Love,
