Hey fam
So there has been quite a few changes this week.
So last Sunday, we found out that Elder Sarmiento was going
home. His dad is really sick and his nonmember family wanted him home, so yeah.
So we spent all week a little stressed because one of us was most likely
leaving, and one of us wouldn’t have been here to see the fruits of our labors,
but we got a call on Wednesday and we were told that we’re staying, and our
good old friend Elder Moore (the office Elder Moore, and not the fellow
Lindonite Elder Moore) is coming to replace elder Sarmiento. So our week has
been kinda out of whack from that, but we had a really good week still
On Monday we went and had a family home evening with Israel’s
family. We explained baptism and then played the game where you put a donut on
string and eat it without hands. They loved it. And to make things better, they
came to church. Well at least the family members that we taught came.
Tuesday we taught a super cool Spanish guy named Pedro in a
cafe. He also showed up to church, and we got a follow up appointment. Hopefully.
Wednesday we were finally able to convert one of our English
class peeps to an investigator. Gladis. She’s really funny in church because
she doesn’t have the Mormon culture. And whenever someone asks a rhetorical
question in sacrament meeting she just yells out the answer.
Thursday we went down to Murcia to drop off Elder Sarmiento. We
took advantage of being in a city and went and ate out, the place we planned on
going didn’t open for another hour so we went on a contacting party until the
place opened up.
Friday we made cookies with Israel, Elder Moffat forgot to put
in butter, which we went out of our way to go buy, so they failed.
Saturday we got demolished by some 12 year old Muslim kids in
soccer. Then we went and got stuffed with paella by Paco Martinez. And we got
stuck in an elevator for 30 min.
Sunday rolls by and the priesthood quorum does its thing and
goes off about some silly manual 2 topic for 40 min as usual, (it was a good
thing Pedro only stayed for the first 2 hours). After we went to a Bolivian
family and made and ate pique macho.
