Companion: Hermana Zambrano
This week was pretty good. It was a pretty tame week, but we were able to see a lot of cool things! Things are starting to cool down out here, so that is always nice.
One recurring theme that
happened throughout the week was that we were able to help the ward a
little bit with the primary program. One day, we went and did service at
the Primary President's house making paper flowers for the center
piece. I was able to help the Primary a little bit by playing the piano
at one of the practices because the sister who was playing for the
regular program couldn't be there. It was a super cute program. I think
that there were more people at church than I have ever seen in this
ward. It was a bit of a Spanglish presentation. Some of the songs were
in Spanish and some were in English, but they were all super cute!
On
one night this week, it was a little late and we didn't have very much
to do, so we decided to try something different. I felt inspired that we
should go and talk to the people at the taco stand by our apartment. We
took the long way around. While we were walking along the road, we saw
two young guys messing around on skateboards. We started talking to them
and gave them our card. We finally made it to the taco stand. It turned
out to be a super awkward experience and we didn't really find anyone
interested to talk to. When we went home, we got a call from one of the
young guys that we met. It turns out that he was actually interested in
learning more. Sad news: he was English speaking. Hopefully, it will
turn out well for the English elders.
We have
been working a lot with the less active people in our ward. We have been
trying to meet with all of the people in our area who could receive the
Melchizedek priesthood, so we have been having some interesting
experiences. We talked to one family who haven't been to church in a
couple of years, but their daughter-in-law was pretty interested in
talking to us.
One day this week, we were
walking down the street late at night on our way to talk to one of the
less active families in our area. Every time that it gets really windy,
the dust starts blowing around. This makes the visibility remarkably
low. We were walking down the street when it was super dusty and we saw
someone coming up out of the distance. We couldn't really see what it
was until it came right next to us. When the image became clearer, we
saw that it was a person riding on a skateboard with a skull mask and a
long green wig. I thought that we were walking in a nightmare! We were
able to find shelter in the less active's house, so we didn't end up
reenacting a horror movie.
We have been working
with a lot of cool families recently, and things are going along really
well with them. We have been able to see a lot of miracles while we
have been teaching. The Lord really does direct His work! I love being a
missionary and being able to tell people about how they can apply the
Atonement in their lives.
I hope that you all have a good week and that you are able to have some adventures. Enjoy fall!
