Buenas!
Well my Pday got moved to Friday (today) because we are going to the temple! 11 days without a Pday is a wee bit brutal, but hey going to the temple is a huge win in my book. I have been wanting to go for so long!
This email will all be about last week, and I will write another one on Monday about what happened this week.
Pday was super dope! We went with the District to the Zoo. Saw lots of cool animals. We almost got an alligator to eat a chicken! But it wasn't super hungry I guess.
Tuesday we taught the family Caceres. They are all members except for one daughter. We have been wanting to put her on date, but there are always a million kids running around so it's hard to teach. I told Elder Garrett I was good at distracting kids and he didn't think it was possible with these kids. Oh how I proved him wrong. Elder Garrett taught Alicia a lesson/put her on date to baptized, all while I distracted 8 kids in the corner. Elder Garrett was baffled because the kids were completely silent the whole time which has never happened. He asked me what I did and I just told him "I bribed the kids by saying you would buy them cookies." It was pretty funny. Team work makes the dream work.
This week we put 5 people on date to be baptized in June! Trino, Alicia, Leisy, Gabriel, and Milka. We are super excited for all of them! It's gonna be tough for lots of them, but they are all so amazing! So please pray lots for them!
We had intercambios this week! It was good! I went with Elder Paz to Aguadulce. Penonome is ten times better, but Aguadulce is still pretty cool. They have a four man house tho which was fun! We all just talked and laughed. We had some good lessons and contacts. But we also had this awful lesson where the people were mad at the fact that we need recommends to enter the temple. We explained it very simply to them, but they just refused to hear anything else and were just bashing on us and the church. Kinda really sucked, and I just wanted to yell at them because they had 0 logic and were making no sense. But, I just smiled the whole time, waited for them to stop arguing, explained very clearly the Doctrine of Christ, used a fire analogy, and felt the spirit very strongly. They didn't really say too much after that. I wish them the best of luck! This gospel is true and temples are dope!
This whole week we, as a zone, had a competition of contacting! It was kinda dumb because there are much better ways to find people, but our pride took over. To sum it up quickly Elder Garrett and I contacted 100 people in a single day. We ended the week with contacting over 300 people.
Then we had Sunday which was amazing! We had District Conference. All of the members in Chitré met together for church! It is just stake conference, but we aren't a stake yet. But our mission President was there, and he spoke! So that was cool! And it's always fun to see my friends!
Overall it was a super good week! Lots of work!
We are super busy today so no spiritual thought sorry! But I will definitely write one on Monday! Love you all! Thanks for all the prayers! Keep praying for my people! Until Monday!
