This has been a pretty solid week. We got some great invesigators, found a lot
of new people who are interested in the message, I taught my comparion how to
pin insects, we found a lot of sick grasshoppers and a massive praying mantis,
we bought two live chickens, and we ate them today, it was awesome!
Well in terms of mission work we´ve basically been given the
name of the masters of the drunks. We
have convinced several previous drunks to accept to be baptized (that part
isn´t all that hard hahaha) and then we´ve helped several to come to church and
now all of them arrive solo and are improving a ton. The best part is that all of them know one
another (it´s a small village haha) so they often help one another to
improve. This week I also learned that I
have about 6 weeks here in La Junta, therefore 1 cycle. This has probably been the fastest cycle of
my mission and the most fun I’ve had in a long time due to my companion and how
much success we´ve had here! We talk with everyone and by the end of the
contacts it seems like the night has already begun and we have to be back in
the house. It worries me a bit because
before I know it I’ll be back home and I´m still not ready for all that hahaha.
But until then, I´m going to enjoy my Mexican lifestyle!
On the note of living the fun life, well my companion
apparently has been super depressed recently and I didn´t notice it until I
asked him what was happening and he explained a whole lot of items that made me
decide to never be a psychologist. In
the end it was basically that the mission was boring him a little and that everything
was the same always. So I made a plan and sought for a little guidance from
revelation and boom, I had it! We started doing things that no one in the
mission does, not because they are against the rules, but because it is just a
bit weird. So I taught my companion how to do an insect collection and he loved
it! He was a natural! Now we contact super fast so we can see all the insects
that may be awaiting us. The other part we did was that we bought a couple
chickens (this was something I was a little against but my companion really
wanted to do it so we did it) so we spent this week contacting every house that
had chickens and we then asked for the price of the chickens and in the end we
bought the fattest and cheapest ones that were in good balance! And well in the
end of the story, I learned how to clean a chicken (it is surprisingly easy to
do it, maybe I´ll practice a bit when I get back hahahaha) so now I know how to
skin and clean a goat, chicken, and fish.
In the end they are all basically the same, and taste so much better
than the store meat hahaha. Now my
companion has been improving a lot and we´re planning our next wacky plans now
all we need is for the new month to come so the monthly money arrives, it´s
going to be great!
Well that´s the weekly update here, another great week!
Conference is going to be awesome! 3rd one in the mish! That´s crazy!
Con mucho amor,
