So finally i have a chance to send the pictures. These have to be my favorite pictures so far of the mission. Junior is such a funny guy. He hangs out with us on pdays and when we do our reports every sunday and we are going to start having a FHE with him and his family every sunday. We have been trying to teach his sister, but she has taken too much of an interest. I dont know what happened. We are teaching two other girls (family of a convert who just returned home from the mission) but they are hard to teach as well because of the influence of freinds. they are still too concerned with what their freinds will think about the mormones.
We were supposed to have a meeting with elder pino (a seventy) this week but something happened (something aobut general conference comming up) so it got postponed to october. he is going to be doing interveiws with the missionaries and visiting some of their rooms... kind of freaky thought to have a seventy in your room...
All the missionaries are excited for general conference. it is a great oppertunity to help people feel the spirit and gain a testimony. All the missionaries tell it me its a time when you get the most homesick though because its like christmas, you usually spend the time with your family. I thought about that a little bit and i realized i have been developing a family out here. the lady who owns our apartment is like our grandma, our pensionisto is like our father and his wife is like a mom, and junior has become a an older little brother... (haha i finally know how martin and thomas feel!! haha) Im going to be so sad when i have to leave this area. I dont think that will be until november though.
Elder larson has been a little sick this week. so i have been doing my best to watch his health and walk a little slower. i like to walk fast and he is used to latino companions who are a little bit more laid back (not always a bad thing, need both in a companionship). he had something growing on his foot for the last month so we got permission to take him to the doctor and get it checked out. He was really nervous because we always hear horror stories about the doctor offices here. it turned out good. The doctor ended up just burning a hole in his foot... haha. it looks better than it sounds. haha we are going back today for a check up. mondays are the most hectic days...
Something different about this week... we did a lot of looking for old investigators to find people we could teach because in the city knocking doors isnt super efective always. Especially cause every one has gates... anyway while we were looking for old investigators of previous companionships to teach we ended up on a street that was on the edge of our area. its a bit more getto than the rest of town. the road is made of dirt and the houses are a bit more run down. (an area we avoid at night). we were on our way to find one of the last persons on our list when a big semi truck out of nowhere passed by on this dirt road (fist semi i have seen) carrying a ton of flour. some of the bags of flour started falling out and so i walked up to help.
( going to finish later out of time. funny story though sorry wasnt watching the clock)
anyway, another hard week. but the mission, as always, is the best!
Love you all,
siempre doble afuera, y continua a tener un sonrisa
