¡HOLA TODAS LAS PERSONAS!
Lunes. We were going to go on a hike with Angel, a youth in the ward,
but it was raining all day, and we really didn't want to go do anything in the
rain, so we slept for a good hour or two. After that we went and met with some
of the members that were here, and other than that we really didn't do
much.
Martes. We did our normal studies, ate, and then went to teach seminary.
We had 2 hours of seminary; one to teach him the New Testament, and the other
to teach Book of Mormon. I was teaching the New Testament. It was fun, but we
had to teach it really fast because he was leaving on Sunday and so we covered
only the really important parts of every lesson. After that we had a whole
bunch of appointments, (for the first time ever) and every single one of them
failed... that was a little disappointing. But we had plans for Wednesday don't
worry about it!!!
Mircoles. Same schedule: studies, food (we had a soup with cow tail in
it), seminary, every single appointment failed... but at least this time we
were able to fill the time doing different types of service. We carried a stove
to a ladies house. We pushed some kids up a hill on their little car things.
We helped a lady move a bunch of beds around, and then also we went and taught a
less active member who wants to come back to church but has to quit smoking She won't go back to church because she doesn't feel like she can, but we are
working with her. Also we received a call from President answering some
questions we had, including why he chose me to come to the island. He said,
"Well I prayed about who I should send to the island, and yours was the name
that came to mind." Talk about your inspiration! But ya that was fun.
Jueves. So to try and finish seminary before Sunday we decided to do 4
hours of it; 2 hours before lunch, and then 2 hours after. With this schedule
we should be able to finish teaching everything. We went and taught some
lessons, and then everyone went down below to wait for the giant battle ship
that came to the island to bring all of the students back for summer break. It
also brought 400 other people to visit for a few days. So once again, nobody
was home.
Viernes. We got a call that morning from Angel, who said that he was
actually leaving this day. All of our plans to finish were gone! But at least
he is with his family on the continent. Other than that there were just people
everywhere!
Sabado. So there was a funeral because I guess that someone from the
island that was coming back on the boat slipped and fell and hit his head, and
ended up dying on the boat. So once again half the island was at that. We
went and started talking to some people down below, and also then went and
shared with some members, and helped them put up their christmas tree. It was
an interesting day.
Doming. We had 10 people in church this week. me and my companion gave
the talks! That was interesting haha, and then we finished all 3 reunions an
hour early so we just left haha. Well, not us because we had to put the tithing
and stuff in, so we had to stay, but I now know the behind the scenes of the
church life, and boy is it crazy haha. But ya then there was a giant BBQ from
like 5 until past 10, so we went down there for a little, got some food, and
talked with some of the members, and set up appointments with some
people.
But ya that was my week! Hope you enjoy! Love you and miss you
tons!
