Hey que tal?!
Sounds like quite a cool experience that
you all had on Pioneer trek. I´ve
learned that trekking is good practice for when one comes on a mission to a
dessert/Chihuahua and you need to walk all day. It even is about the same dress
style hahaha. But it is good to hear it was a solid experience!
Well this week was another busy week, from
cooking for the missionaries in the conferences to going to the airport to take
more missionaries home, we did a bit of it all this week! On Monday we spent
the morning playing basketball with a couple other missionaries like we do just
about every Monday, it was here that we realized the President and Hermana
Montoya were going to complete 1 year in the mission on Tuesday. Ever since the
shirt incident I´ve been established as the official tech guy in the mission
(kinda like in the ward haha), so I got put to work on making a video with all
the memorable pictures of the previous year. It ended up pretty sweet (which we
found out the next day), then in the rest of my freetime I started working on
new shirt designs (ever since the Chimex shirt came out everyone wants me to
make shirts for their zone, or for their families, which I will do it if they
pay for my shirt haha). On Tuesday we had the first conferences for the cycle,
which always starts in Chimex (my zone) and Chuviscar. This time however
president told us we couldn´t help Hermana Montoya and had to watch the
conference. So this was my first time
seeing the Conference in 4 months! It was Sweet! During lunch break we had
President and Hermana Montoya come into the dining hall and played the Video I
made, it was great and Hermana started to cry! Win! And then they both asked me
to send them the video so they could keep it! It was a great conference! On
Wednesday we had to take a missionary to the airport nice and early like
usual. The president is working on
“purifying” the mission again (he did it last year and sent like 15
missionaries to their home) so anyway I’ve been kept pretty busy and I´m going
to the airport again on Tuesday at 3:00 in the morning! Great... It´s alright
though, we´ve been seeing a lot of success here recently because of it. We (the mission) are now baptizing people
every week without fail, and not just 1 or 2, like 10 or more, it´s great! On
Thursday we had conference in Tech, another zone here in Chihuahua, we spent
the entire time cooking a feast and taking pictures, it was pretty normal in
terms of that point.
On Friday we had a missionary activity in
the ward where we invited to the ex-missionaries to share some experiences from
their missions and then to set up a display.
We planned it about 2 weeks ago and had about 15 ex-missionaries sign
up. We were super excited and prepared
everything for all these members for their presentations, then when the day
finally came around every single one of them cancelled except for one. So we played the part of the ex-missionaries
and made our own presentations and the other ex-missionary did all the things
that we couldn´t do, and prepared some food from her area! Then the members
started arriving, about 2 families came, 1 family left because we started 15
minutes late (due to the other family arriving 15 minute late) and then about
10 young single adults showed up to support the awesome missionaries hahaha. In
the end, the activity ended up pretty well and then we ironed the ward a bit
for not showing up when they keep telling us to do activities. So the bishop´s counselor gave his testimony
on what a great activity it was and the “amazing” assistance of the ward… It
was pretty sweat! The ward wants us to do the activity again but with the assistance
of the ward this time hahaha.
And well that was our week
here!
Con amor,
