So this week
went by really fast! Losts of important appointments and lots of
missionary meetings and stuff, so i got to see those thoer missionaries
in the zone a whole lot.
First off, my mission president with the stake pres. held a meeting
with us missionaries in the zone and with our ward bishops and their
counsalors. He talked about how the missionaries and the wards could
work better together. They talked about how it is very important that
the membors help with references and how it is actually a responsibility
of the ward members to help find people for the missionaries to teach.
There are actaully places out there where the missionaries dont knock on
doors, or they only knock on the doors of members. A few of the wards
in my stake accepted to take on that plan. I find that would be really
interesting and fun to be in an area where i dont have to knock on
doors.
Secondly, the 15th was the day of independence here and there was
an activity held at the stake center with food and activities and all
that. oh and the missionaries in my district werent allowed to go. At
first they said that it was fine if we went and then they said no. I
think they just didnt want a whole bunch of missionaries spending alot
of time at activities. So all the missionaries in my district got
together at the house of the district leader to have tacos and stuff.
It was pretty fun to spend time with them. All of us in the
district are pretty great friends. It will be interesting to see who
stays and who will go for transfers this coming monday. I am probably
going to stay seeing how i only have one transfer here.
So dia de independencia here is pretty different then ours. I am
pretty sure that fireworks are illegal here because no one was setting
them off. Instead every just drinks and watches wrestling or boxing.
This sunday was really great! We had one of our old investagators go to
church. His name is Oswald and he is pretty awesome. He love talking
about the Plan that God has for his children and the atonement of Christ
and how he can be cleansed from sin. The only problem is that he never
actaully went to church and now this sunday he went!
Oswald and a few others have plans to get baptised this week. Hope all goes right this week. We will see what happens.
Love you all Bye!
