Good Week for Teaching

¡¡¡¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!! ¡Hola todos! 

So, let's just get right into my week!

Lunes. Was our p-day. It was raining so we really didn't do anything haha. We tried to watch The Testaments, but that didn't work because we didn't know how to turn the tv on. Stupid reason right? But really what tv needs more than to be plugged in and to hit the power button, but somehow we still couldn't get it to work! Haha so we slept. Sounds lazy, but it was totally worth it! After that we went and contacted some references that we had received from some members, and set up some appointments with people.

Martes! We had our first clase de districto here on the island. Usually this is where all the missionaries in your district get together and practice stuff, but when it's only us two on the island it was a little bit interesting, and it went by a lot faster that it normally does haha. But that's ok. I'm leader of districto and of my zone mainly because we switch off teaching stuff each week haha. But after that we went and met with a member whose wife isn't a member. His name is Gérman. They are this elderly couple, and he has cancer, but is still coming to church and doing everything he can. We went to teach them both, Gérman and Monica, but Monica was sick so we shared with Gérman a little bit. It was a good lesson, and he knows a lot even though he says he isn't capable to talk about the scriptures and share stuff.   He told the First Vision perfectly. After that we went and talked with the lady who owns the church building, and who is renting it to us. Her name is Maria, and it ends up that she knows English!  She lived in California for 4 years and so she talked to us in English. We talked to her, and shared a little bit of the restoration and she was very receptive so we are going to continue teaching her.

Mircoles. We had lesson after lesson! Finally we have someone to teach, and every lesson was a good one. One lesson was with a reference that a member gave us that had shared with the missionaries before. So we went and taught her, and then after that we ran to the church to teach a lesson to the cousin of the only missionary on the island. She is a recently returned missionary and she helped us teach. It was an incredibly spiritual lesson, and Manuel (that's the investigator's name) said that he had already prayed and was pretty sure that the church was true, and that the Book of Mormon was true too. It was very cool! After that we went and taught Paloma. She is an old investigator too of the missionaries on the island before, but she left to the continent and never was baptized.  So we are sharing with her, and she had a doubt about how she was going to receive an answer, so we explained to her that it wasn't going to be anything big or crazy, but more her thoughts and feelings.  That's when she started to think about how she feels when she prays and asks about the Book of Mormon and feels peace. So we invited her to continue praying and reading. So we´ll see what happens!

Jueves. We went and shared with German and Monica again, and it was a really good lesson. We tried to set up a baptism date with Monica but she already has plans to get baptized on the continent.  So she is planning on getting baptized so we are going to continue teaching her and stuff, but it was cool that she was already planning on it. After that we went and visited a less active family to share with them. We still don't know why they are inactive but we will keep visiting them.

Viernes. ¡I SURVIVED THE END OF THE WORLD! Haha that was fun. I'm pretty sure we saw every religious leader out preaching. It was interesting haha, but we just went and shared with people as well.

Sabado. So we were going to teach an English class... that was until nobody showed up... but that's ok. We then went and sang Happy Birthday in English to a youth in the ward, that embarassed her pretty good, but it was fun. We also had a family home evening de branch and watched the Christmas Devotional.

Domingo. We had 12 in the church and I'm still playing the piano.

Out of time! Love you all and miss you tons!!!!!!!
