On Pday we went and played
kickball and soccer in a field that we rented out. Later we went over to
Wendy's house and kind of shared her birthday with her and got to know her
family a little bit more.
Tuesday we had interviews
with President Henderson. They went really well. I always feel really good
afterwards, he's just an amazing guy. We talked a little bit about my future.
Since he is a doctor, he mentioned that he could see me being an orthopedic
surgeon, like his brother. We had our zone conference and it was nice to see
Elders John, Gutierrez, White, and Livingston. It was good to catch up with
them and laugh at some of the things that we did together in Amarilis (Huánuco).
On Wednesday I did
divisions with Elder Salazar, one of our zone leaders. We worked in his area—La
Esperanza. Their room is really nice. Anyway, we had six lessons. It was nice
to have a day off out of my area so I didn't have to hike the mountain.
Thursday we had 3 lessons,
11 contacts and one new investigator. We're finding a lot of new people to
teach and hopefully getting this area moving. I'm working hard, I am healthy, and
everything is going well.
Friday we did our weekly
planning. We're finding a lot, a lot, a lot of new investigator this week,
which is really nice. I feel like I was sent here to this area to kind of fix
it and prepare it for future missionaries so they could baptize. It kind of
sucks but if that's what is needed to be done, then I'm glad I am able to do
it.
Saturday we had a zone
meeting. We talked about how our attitude can affect our success in the
mission. Then all of the elders in the zone did the "short sleeve
challenge". What it is is that you walk around wearing short sleeves all
day and night until you get back to your room. It was pretty cold I have to
admit. It rained AND snowed! It was pretty rough but I'm glad I did it.
Sunday was a bit of a
letdown. Not too many people at church. We had a some good lessons and I just
got done reporting our district's numbers and writing in my journal. I had a
good day. I really look forward to emailing you guys every week. I love you
guys so much! Have a great week!
