So, this week we had our big training
meeting with Presidente. We have new standards for the mission =
STRESS! But that's fine! Onward and upward! ONE baptism a week. 10
new investigators each week. 50% of the investigators challenged with a
baptism date. 5 people in church week. 3 lesson (sit down, with a
prayer and everything) each day. 15 contacts (like number and name or
address and name) each day. They's don't seem that hard, but wow! We
are working hard to get to that level!!!!
Also, there are lavender plants EVERYWHERE!!!!!! ALL OVER THE PLACE! Paradise. I love it!
This
week we had a family home evening with a young woman, her aunt, ad the
friend of the young woman. It went SUPER well. M=She is awesome and is
accompanying us every week :).
Also, Madelen
finally went to church yesterday!!! YAY! Qui disappeared off the face
of the earth and his neighbor told us that he is an alcoholic. So sad.
We will keep looking for him.
There is this
one hippie who always walking by the river with his super cute wife.
I'm used to hippies because of Bolson but Hermana Coman was like, "Don't
say hi to them! They're bad people! Always by the river ... That's
bad." I laughed and said, "They are good people!" This week, he
stopped us on the street to talk to us. Turns out he investigated the
church in Brazil. My comp LOVES Brazilians! She'll talk to every
single one of the, ALL day. We talked to him for a while and we walked
away my companion was like, "I love this guy! Such a good guy! We
should talk to him more!" I just laughed and laughed and laughed.
Also,
yesterday when we were walking with Madelen to church, there was a
little kid, take and REALLY skinny, who followed us the 12 blocks to
church. We had no idea who it was but followed us. He didn't really
understand what we said but we got his name and the name of his mom and
dad. When we got to church we had a member call the police because the
kid didn't know where he was when he started following us. The police
came and got him.
She lived in such a cute place! That story about the kid is so sad. Breaks my heart! I am tired and emotional about my nieces and nephews next door so reading that made me choke up and wish I could provide a home for all kids who need love!
