Cucumber Water

These weeks are starting go a little faster.

Monday- we went to the zoo for p-day, it was way fun. We had a pretty fun group of elders and sisters who came. People were kinda looking at us like we were part of the zoo. I saw someone take a picture of us so that’s cool too ahhaha. After the zoo we had a way good lesson with one of the less-active families, they are super funny. Their son always gets mad at me cause I don’t play toys with him and then he starts calling me names, but it’s cool I can take it. We had dinner with the branch presidents family and we were sitting there and she starts cutting up cucumber and I was like ok its for a salad she then puts it in the blender and I’m like alright cool its salsa she then had salt and some lime and then starts pouring it in the cups on the table and I’m like wait a second that’s my cup where is my water. It was really strange and I thought I was going to pass out I was so thirsty but couldn’t get myself to drink it.

TUESDAY- today we had some sweet meeting in a different area so me and some elder from that area chilled and took naps on the stage while everyone had their special meeting. We then went to some Mexican restaurant and I tried to use my Spanish and just sounded really white and one of the workers was behind us cleaning a table and heard me say something and just turns around and laughs ahhahahaha I felt really white. We then went home and had an amazing lesson with Carlos, he is soo cool and interested but religion is new to him so he kinda struggles. We then got to meet this kid name fransico who is a karate champ and is going to the olympics for it. We then had a lesson with Hermana zemora she is a really nice lady but she had 50 dogs and cats and her house has tons of flies and smells really bad. We had a great lesson with her and she offered us expired cake which was really kind of her. 

WEDNESDAY- I love Wednesday because its service day and I love doing service. We also got to meet with amber who is just awesome and wants to change sooo bad it’s awesome to see her changing. We also got to meet with bladdimir, he accepted the baptismal invitation. He is a way cool kid and really wants the gospel. We then talked to our mission president about one of our investigators cecilio who was supposed to get baptized on the 2nd of July but we had to keep moving the date. He said we have to move the date again because of some other stuff, it’s been hard but a good lesson that things happen on the lord’s time not mine.

THURSDAY- Thursday are not my favorite day. Thursday it’s weekly planning which means we are in the apartment till 3 and I hate that. We got to teach Sergio who is our neighbor, he is way cool and knows tons. During the lesson I have to distract his nephew the whole time. The little dude started coughing and sneezing all over my arm hahah soo gross. We then got meet with Maria who is progressing tons. 

FRIDAY- today it rained super hard but was sunny, the weather her is really confusing. We had a super good district meeting today and learned CPR which stand for Church Pray Read. By doing these things everyday and every week we will never become inactive or leave the church. We then had comp exchanges, I was with elder butterfield I love this guy he is my fav. We had a sweet day planned but tons of people canceled. But we found tons of people to talk to and found new investigators and got to visit with people I’ve never met with so everything all worked out which was nice. One thing that is weird about eating with members here is that they never eat with us. So at dinner we were in the kitchen eating and the family was in the other room watching TV kinda weird ahahhal.

SATURDAY- today we woke up and went straight to service, service was helping this family who had bought this house that had started on fire, start to redo the house. It was super fun we got to into this house and just start tearing stuff down and got to take out a wall. It was super fun and they got us burritos which were really good. 

SUNDAY- we had a couple investigators at church today which was awesome and some less actives. No one came to church though there was like 40 people ahhaha. We had a great lesson with cecilio after church and got to eat with them.

MONDAY- This 4th of July was very different, we couldn’t email because everything was closed. So we went shopping and that was fun ahahh. We then went and played sports with all the other missionaries and the new presidents kids came so that was cool to meet them. We then had a lesson but the guy we were supposed to teach wasn’t there so we just went to our dinner appointment at cecilios. He has some crazy neighbors that are always fighting and when we got there they were fighting, the dude walks over to a window and breaks it with his head. Dude had a hard melon for sure, it made me laugh but also kinda sad because there are people like that all over the place here and they just don’t know how much the gospel and do for them. Dinner was great and we chilled with them for a while. President said he had to be in my 9:30 so we couldn’t go to fireworks with them so we rode home. We got home at 8:30 ahhahah kinda lame but that’s ok. I sat on the deck and listened to the fireworks ahahha.
