That´s awesome that you finally got my
package! And I am glad you liked it. Sorry
it took so long to figure out how to send it.
Hopefully next time it won´t take quite as long ha ha ha. It sounds like
the weather is starting to improve there, here it is changing as well, except
the summer here is why this place is known by the name infierno (Hell) and
after spending the winter here I’m starting to realize where this place gets
its reputation ha ha ha.
Well onto this week, to sum it up this
week was one of the most fun weeks I have had in my mission. From cambios to today the party has yet to
stop. My new companion is really fun and
the new gringo (Fastabend) who joined is super fun as well. We have spent every
morning doing Zumba and then it involved into a 50 minute Nerf war that
involved moving all the furniture in the house.
We would then spend the last 10 minutes fixing all the furniture and the
next week finding all the bullets. Then during the days when we have to wait
outside the house until we can enter it on time we play soccer. I have been made permanent goalie. The second
day we were playing it got a little intense and we broke the neighbor’s window.
Luckily we are friends with them and to
fix a window here it´s only 5 dollars, so it wasn´t too bad. This week we also
went to the market place and at the market place I had a little bit of extra
money for the month so
I bought a new hair cutting kit and a used bike all for about 40 dollars. On Sunday I got to shave Elder Fastabend and it turned out really well, who knew haircutting was so easy!
One of the cool things that happened
this week was that we had a ward activity where we all went and played soccer
and had a cookout with some carne asada.
It was super cool and the best part was that we got 5 investigators to
come to it! Four of them are new investigators
that we have found within the past week.
It was super cool and they really enjoyed it and now are friends with a lot
of the members of the ward. I´m hoping
we can now get a little more progress with them and that we can visit the investigators
with some of the members that they now have met.
This week we also had a fun experience
as I was showing Elder Santiago (my new companion) the area. We were passing by one of the streets and
someone kept trying to whistle us over.
Eventually they started yelling at us, so we decided to go and talk to
them. Immediately they started talking
to me in English about how his wife is a member but only goes to church when
she goes to visit her parents in the states, due to the fact that she thought
there wasn´t a church here in Ojinaga. She
was super excited to here about the local church in her home town, and wants us
to visit her and to teach her husband the lessons! I´m excited to teach her,
because we need to find some investigators that have a bit of church support
during the lessons and afterwards, and having a spouse as a member works pretty
well most of the time ha ha ha.
Well that´s how my week went, can´t wait
for the package, especially the shoe soles ha ha ha
See ya next week,
Elder Bunch
Ojinaga, Chihuahua
