So this week seemed to be a very uneffective week because every day, somehow something came up that changed our plans and we werent able to work as well as we wanted. That must mean we are close to achieving something! We are now covering the other side of our area where there were 2 other Elders before, so our workload is double and we are still getting to know the members of a huge ward. Its great though, and since my companion is one of my best friends, every day is super fun:)
The funny part of this week is that somehow every single day some member, or contact, or investigator has planched us in some form or another. For example we were contacting a lady who said that she had previously talked with missionaries around 2 years and i made the joke that we are the same just more handsome, and she said that every child of God is handsome and it doesnt matter where they come from or who they are... lots of times the people here are like the guy from Guardians of the Galaxy that dont understand jokes and take everything literally... sometimes its frustrating but its funny:P Another time was when we went to a lesson with a member who was actually in the same mission as president Ruiz, and my companion made the joke of how can we get a good wife, and he responded serve faithfully the rest of your mission and dont think about it.... yeah something like that every day happened hahahhahhahaXD
We also did visits this week accompanied by Pepe who is a member with some mental challenges but is hilarious in the stuff that he says. We went to see a member who was telling us about how her daughter is in love with a guy who is basically a loser, and Pepe says... and i loved her so much!! I love that guy! He cracks me up!
We found a part member family that was ready for marriage and baptism but they are moving in about a week and a half... so we need to look for more.
We did a zone attack on Friday and my companion and i took another elder with us who has some challenges sometimes but this kid is hilarious. He is from the Dominican republic and even the way he talks cracks me up. We have been focusing on zone attacks lately to help the areas have more success and more investigators.
On Sunday we felt super tired, because we each gave a talk, and then we taught two classes, and then we had a meeting with a guy that works with the high council and missionary work in the stake. It wasnt really a day of rest, but i guess thats part of being anxiously engaged in a good cause:) We also saw Yazumi on sunday who came to visit and I loved seeing her again! she is one of my favorite people ever. She is a member from kanasin.
We found a sweet barbershop here in Centro and even though its kind of like a gangster place with a tattoo art vibe, its got air conditioning and they do a good job, and i honestly love real barbershops!
