Hey family
Tuesday
everything failed, but a member called us asking if we had an extra suit. And
we have one laying around in a closet so we took it to him and gave the suit to
his son. It was a little big for him, but he didn’t seem to notice. Then we had
a small family home evening where we went around telling our conversion
stories, because the son is less active.
Wednesday after a
morning a walking around street contacting for three hours we went to Murcia
and had interviews with president and gave me some interesting news about the
area. After we went back to Molina and we taught Diego and Israel. We had to
hurry because we needed to catch a bus to Murcia again for a district leader
training meeting. While we were waiting for the bus, a random future that we contacted
a few days back walked up with his wife and we ended up teaching them the whole
bus ride. Then I had the exact same meeting that I had about 5 months back.
After we had 6 other missionaries come home with us to spend the night. 4 on
beds 2 on couches and 2 on the ground. I was one of the ones on the ground.
Then next morning
we had our Christmas half mission conference, hence the 6 missionaries the
night before, we waited outside for an hour in 35 degree weather for the car to
come and pick us up, but they came an hour late, after we called them saying
we’re still in Molina. We had a talent show and then went to a mall and sang
carol in front of it. Then we went back and had the spiritual part of the
meeting. A lot about developing Christ like attributes. It was really good.
Friday we met
with Israel and Diego again. Then we had English class with them. After we
finally were able to meet with an investigator named Pedro again. I asked him
about where he has lived before and from that he went off for about 10 minutes
about how he hates people from England. It was funny. After all that we able to
have a good lesson with him about the importance of the Book of Mormon.
Saturday, we had
our normal soccer game in the morning with the less actives. Afterwards we ate
churros and chocolate. Then we went and ate with a member and his wife. The
wife is going to South Carolina tomorrow so they wanted us over. Later that day
we walked for 30 min to the building where the people we taught on the bus
live. They weren’t home, but we knocked the 12 stories. We were able to talk
with one person. That’s pretty good odds. I’m used to nobody wanting anything.
But by the time we finished we went back to the couple and the wife was home,
but we got her number, because she seems a lot more reliable than the man. Then
we went 30 back down to meet with Manuel. The weird guy that shows up to church
randomly. His wife Manuela talks way too much so it’s hard to do anything with
him.
Sunday we had the
children’s program in the ward. Diego participated even though he isn’t a
member yet, and he bore his testimony, super good. I also got to give Israel
the priesthood. It’s always super cool participating in ordinances. And then as
the weekly argument in elders quorum, they spent a solid 20 discussing where
Jesus was born Jerusalem or Bethlehem. Fun times. Then after church, the relief
society went huge and gave the 4 of us missionaries a ton of chocolate for as a
Christmas gift. That night we decided to pass by a random investigator and we
actually got in. Crazy huh.
