Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Ian,
Hey everybody I´m on! I´m reading all your emails right
now Yes!! Laney and Hannah are the most
adorable things ever!!
I heard the Superbowl was yesterday! Man I´m so out of
it, I forgot there was even a Superbowl! I suppose that´s ok because I´m
supposed to be focused out here anyway, haha! But anyway, my week was ok.
Working as always. But I gotta admit, this week was a little tough.
The rama or branch is great, don´t get me wrong. The
people in it are wonderful! They´re just as excited about the missionary work
as we are! But the thing is they don´t have the training us missionaries have.
Bless them, they have the best intentions. But sometimes they make plans for us
and expect us to drop the plans we made and go out with them. I´ve been feeling
a little off about that. And whenever we want to stick with our own plans they
get mad at us. Lately it´s been a little frustrating. But my companion and I
had the idea to have the Stake president come down and have a leadership
training for the rama, which should help out a lot! We tried to tell some of
the members how we´re supposed to work, but they just sort of shrugged it off
like they knew better. I´m sure they didn´t mean it like that, but that´s what
it came off as. I don´t blame them, though. We are new missionaries and they
have been a great help but they have to remember that we´re the missionaries
and are there to help them. I hope we can establish that with the rama…they´re
all very awesome people!
As for our progress, Miguel and Jasmil couldn´t get
interviewed on Saturday. :( They need to
be taught just a few more things and then they can be interviewed this Saturday,
for sure this time!!! Also, we´re getting very awesome references from the
members! We found a golden couple, who for a change is legally married! Almost
everybody here just live together. DX But they´re both VERY interested in the church
and ask really good questions. We´re doing service for them tomorrow so that
should be awesome too!
Today, we just did a bit of shopping. There was a zone
activity today, but we didn´t go because we need to save money to go the capital
on Wednesday. And not a whole lot, but we get fed sometimes. We actually
decided to not let anyone feed us for a bit because people have started to
fight over feeding us. So, we want to cool things down before we start that
again. Haha! And thanks for the advice,
dad, it really helps us out. ^_^
Well, that´s all the things from this week. I´ll be going
to the capital this Wednesday so I´ll get your package from there. Bye, guys!
I´ll write you next week with progress on the rama and our investigators! Love
you!!
