Another uneventful week in the books. Whats up yall? We worked super hard this week and tried our best to do the work of the lord by visiting members and references of less active members and teaching our converts but for right now Heavenly Father needs us to keep working to find those people who are interested in knowing the truth! We for sure trying our best! And yeah so the weather is getting a little toasty up here. I think the highest its literally gotten is 98° but it felt like 120° so ya saben that Im sweating myself into shape
Almost Got Pounded + Saw something I never wanted to see = Nice Pastor Man
So yeah these were the most interesting 20 minutes of my life. And they happened within 10 minutes of leaving the pension...so within 1 minute of leaving the pension we walk between these two dudes that were carrying a lot of alcohol and one looks at me and speaks a langauge that even Elder Meza didnt know but I kept walking cuz I didnt know what he said and then he said, "Why dont you respond white boy huh?" And I just kept walking cuz I dont talk to haters but then they started trash talking gringos so (cuz Im prideful) I turned around and said "Im from France" and then one of the dudes explodes and starts coming after me and Im not sure what the other one said but it made him go back and they just started shouting insults at me...so that was weird and then one of the first doors we knocked a grandma answers the door and um yeah so she had very little clothing so my eyes were scarred and then the very next door was the nicest pastor ever that didnt even attempt to fight us....all within 20 minutes. The mission for sure is an experience.
TRASLADOS
Alright transfers happened and as I already knew, Im staying here in Posadas with Elder Meza which is super hype cuz he is awesome. Im learning a ton with him and yeah. Rip to Hna Wyatt who went home last week. But Im super excited for the zone! We have some really cool missionaries including a new area in Itaembe Guazú! We had basically another city in our area last transfer and it made the work hard cuz we had such a big area but now Elder Felix and Landa opened it up and they are awesome! Our last time we went to Itaembe Guazú we grinded to set it up for them some more and found 2 new people by being super annoying and persistent but we had a lesson with them! Then we took a bus back but there was an accident on the highway and sooo we had to get off the bus and wait for another bus to come and take us home so we didnt get home until 10:45, we were so tired but hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do
EL BARRIO
So certain things have happened and our relationship with the ward wasnt the best but now its grown a ton! We have visited so many less actives they've asked us to visit and just showed love and gratefulness for their efforts! Love for sure is the way to grow a relationship and fix things!
King of the Hill
So yesterday we were walking and saw an inactive partial member family shoveling dirt so we went and helped for about 45 minutes and we got super dirty but it was sure worth it and then they gave us giant hot dogs with fries on them (super panchos) and we were able to show them our love for them no matter what and that just cuz we are in nice clothes doesnt mean we cant help! But yeah sorry mom, my pants and shirt are now a little red with the red dirt from Posadas ajaja but we also took a pic on top of all the dirt we shoveled so epic.
Anyway! That was basically the week! Not too exciting (but im always excited for the best work on earth) and not too successful but we given it our all and we are excited to keep working! The savior died for us because of his love for us...Heavenly Father is literally our Heavenly Father so know that!
Love yall so much! Thanks for everything yall do for me....shout out to the activity day girls from my ward who wrote me a letter yall are the best! We also ate Peruvian food called Lomo Saltado and yeah its my new favorite food
