closed, and then we didnt have much time on Tuesday, so I just got a
few things, not a real update. So, I'll give some highlights from both
weeks. Last week I went on an exchange with the Elders in my district.
It went pretty well, we found some really cool people, and I got to be
on bikes for a little bit, they are in a bike area. Theres definitely
some fun stuff with biking, always one adventure or another. I got a
flat tire, so that was one adventure. Also, when I got back from the
exchange into our area which has a car, we were on bikes again for a
little bit. They give us a certain amount of miles we are allowed to
use, and we had used almost all of them, so we rode our bikes in the
afternoon and drove at night, and ended just fine.
I mentioned a little bit ago that we got a referral from a member,
and we have been teaching them, quite a bit, they are really excited
to have us there teaching them. its a family, they have a son who is
18, and they want him to be in a better environment and learn more
about God. We've taught mostly the parents, because the son is almost
never there. They have all kinds of questions, which makes teaching go
really slow, it seriously took about 3 lessons to cover the plan of
salvation. But, they really like having us over, and they invited us
over for lunch, we ate a marisco soup, it was kind of weird, it had
crab and shrimp and yuca in a coconut broth. It was pretty good,
though. Hispanics I guess are too cheap for fancy crab-cracking tools
like we have back home, so busting open the shells for the meat is all
done with teeth. I was worried about breaking a tooth or the crab claw
biting my tounge or something, but he had it down to an art, and could
do it real quick.
Other exciting news, we met a lady that said she was Jesus's wife.
She could also talk to cats. She told us to bring her around with us,
because she was a good testimony, Jesus healed her. Howabout that.
So this week, we had a pretty good week, it seemed to be a little
slower, just because we didn't teach as many lessons and stuff. Theres
some weeks where it really just gets out of your control, and your
numbers are bad no matter what.
The english Elders decided to have a creative finding activity, and
we did a car wash! No joke! We stood out on the street with some
posters that said "free car wash" and it was suprising how many people
didnt turn in. But we had quite a few people come in, gave them all
pass-along cards and invited them to church. It was pretty fun. We of
course washed ours too :) it was a pretty fun break from "normal"
missionary work.
Well, like usual, I have lots of cool things to write about, then I
get here at the computer and I can't think of anything. So hopefull
thats enough.
