On Monday we got to do some service at this farm/petting zoo place. yee-haw. It was pretty fun. We also got to teach the Chavez family that night, which is a family we have been trying to get in contact with for a while now. The lesson was awesome and they plan on being baptized on April 27th. They loved what we taught and they were pretty engaged. They even came to church yesterday.
Then there was just a bunch of meetings. On Tuesday we had interviews with the mission president, which mostly just consists of him calling me or my ties ugly. (I think it's out of love) Then on Wednesday we had a meeting at the mission presidents house and that took all day. Then on Thursday we had district council, which isn't that long, and then a meeting with the stake president. But that night we also got to teach the Piña family. They are awesome and we brought a member with us. The member served his mission in Colombia. We ended up teaching more in depth on the Book of Mormon and how it came about and it was so cool to see this family's eyes just light up when talking about it. They weren't able to make it to church yesterday, but we are hoping to see some good progress there.
We decided to walk around on Friday and that was an expericence holy smokes. After dinner, we had a couple lessons on the other side of town, and so we were headed over there. It was raining a little bit, but not that bad. The appointment fell through, so we knocked some doors around there and ended up teaching a man named Pedro, who is a stud. After we were done there, we walked out of his apartment and it was just POURING rain. On our walk to the other appointment, the street was like a river it was nuts. We got to the other appointment, which fell through, so we got to knock around there as well and ended up teaching a really awesome family from Guatemala, but mostly the son, Eddy. It happens 50 times a day, but it still blows my mind to see how we can be lead to do something, even when what we originally intended to do falls through. Both of those lessons were a huge blessing for us. When we got back to the apartment, we were absolutely soaked and my shoes just dried last night.
That's pretty much the interesting stuff from the week, but thanks for reading this far if you did. Love ya all!
