Hey fam
This week was a bit busy.
On Tuesday we went to our investigator Juan’s house. He’s
an antiguo (old) investigator who was about to get baptized but then had some
doubts and stuff so we went and visited with him. Right when we got in he
started arguing with and getting super heated. So after a bit we told him we
couldn’t teach him because the spirit wasn’t here, then he got offended and
told us to leave. But we called him after and now we’re all good
On Wednesday we took a road trip over to Alicante for a
zone conference. We had the pleasure of being joined by Elder Bennassar. He
talked to us about being diligent and anxious in the work. I also got my flu
shot there. And I got to see Elder Stewart and Elder Bushman again. Fun stuff.
Also president dropped an updated chapter 8 to preach my gospel. More or less
it’s just a more simple version.
On Thursday it was Elder Sarmientos birthday. So we made
some cake, but while we were making the frosting, Elder Moffat accidently put
the butter in the cake batter. So we dumped a ton a sugar in and baked it up.
It actually turned our pretty good. Super sugary. But we didn’t want to give it
to him, so we made some brownies and went to a members house and had a fiesta.
Friday we went down to Murcia and had some interviews with
president. We taught Israel and gifted him a triple combo. He really liked
it.
On Saturday we went down to Murcia for a zone meeting but
it turned out to be only for the district leaders so me and Elder Cazier wander
Murcia and contacted. Highlights: some college kids going crazy in the park
with foam swords and shields and chain and balls. A 40 year old mom riding her
son’s scooter. And getting rained on. That night we went to a less actives home
and when we got in the living room, the dad and daughter skip out and we’re
just waiting there for about 15 minutes alone. Then the mom comes in asks us to
leave because she needs to go shopping.
Sunday we went on splits with the other elders. Me and Elder
Sarmiento went out and walked the streets. I’m done writing and now we play
soccer.
