Last Week

(sorry for being late)

Wow, 6 months has flown by quick, really quick. 
I was still pretty sick for most of the week, but feel better now I guess.

Tuesday: Hospital Visit #2
Before we talk about that... Let's talk about District Council. We have District Council every Tuesday and we talk about our goals for the week with the other companionships in our District. 

We took the bus and headed to a church building nearby. We had alot of people there (4 areas + the APs visited).  We talked about what were our plans were and our goal for baptisms in June.

During the meeting, I had problems breathing, so I went out and took a breather (bad joke). We contacted the mission nurses about taking a visit to the hospital (fun).  After waiting for 2 hours, and a good 30min of driving we got there. They directed me to the triage center and did lots of tests. After all the tests and the boredom they came down to the diagnosis of rinoporigitus aguda (I think that is how you spell it?). All it is is a nasty cold that gets you in the upper lung area. 

I got more meds and headed back for the day because it was 6 o'clock when we got home.

Wednesday: Dad's birthday
Not much happened. Not much at all. I rested most of the day and we went and visited a family at night. They have a 9 yr old who isn't baptized yet and we taught him a lesson.

Later that night,  I called my Dad for his birthday. It was weird talking to my family mid week. 

Thursday: English Class #2
I rested a lot, and  we had English Class in Afternoon. I had a lot of fun teaching and it's better when we have a larger group. We had 9 people there which was great.

I helped tutor one of the people who's English is alot better than the rest. He lived in the United States for a long time so his English is pretty good.

Friday: A lot of street contacting
We needed to find new people so we went out and as Preach My Gospel states it "Talk[ed] with everyone"

We went up and down streets and talked with alot of people. We were able to find around 13 people just talking in the streets.

After that, we went and talked with one of the people Elder Ramos baptized the month before. He talked alot about UFOs and aliens which was strange, but it was fun.

Saturday: Baptism Date
So we visited the family where there is a 9 yr old who isn't baptized. We taught them and lesson and everything and said he wanted to be baptized. So we have a baptism planned for him for the next Saturday!

Sunday: Cheesecake
We went over to a members house to make cheesecake. Well, Elder Ramos made cheesecake. I got very bored rather quickly, so I didn't. It did taste pretty good when it was ready though.

That's it for this week. (Really last week)

Pictures with Details

Still no letter from Chaz this week, but we talked with him after he sent a bunch of pictures. Here are some of the photos with explanations: Elder Bahr and Elder Jarman at a river near their house. Cooling off in the water. No swimming! Elder Jarman teaching members how to make French Toast Teeter break during the day. There was a whole rabbit cooking thing, not sure if this is rabbit or not. Making corn - said it tastes like popcorn. Skinning and eating rabbit. Chaz says it tasted amazing.

Teaching, Music, Lessons and a Baptism

  Monday Spent the morning at the mission office. Bussed back and did my email and phone call. Played some basketball at the church. I'm not great at making 3pt shots but up close I'm decent. Tuesday - Got another baptism date We had district council and lunch with the district. There was a small restaurant? bar? behind a sweet shop. We had pollo chuco again. (Chicken covered  with sauces)  We taught this investigator, Esperanza who couldn't read but has been taught the lessons and wants to know if the church is true. She's currently having issues because her family and her family's pastor have been pressuring her not to go to church.  After the lesson we did her dishes using one of the outdoor "sinks". It was a large basin filled with water and had a ledge where you could wash your dishes. You get clean water from the basin, wash the dish, and you deposit the dirty water on the ledge because it had a drain.  Later that day we visited an inactive family wh...

Last Week (this is late, from the last week of October)

  ---Baptism--- We had the baptism of Nayeli on Sunday. She had been an investigator for a very long time (since last December) and many missionaries had given up on her. The entire ward attended which was great. We ran out of cake and there wasn't enough seating for everyone. It was great to see her take that step ---Another Baptism--- We attended the baptism of the bishop's daughter on Monday as well. The baptism doesn't count for us, but it's still great to see another baptism for the ward. We were able to help with the prep for it which was fun. We had to tape a mop to a broom to get the door open (hard to fill the font without the keys to it but we managed) ---Spiritual Thought--  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:6  I really like this scripture because of how well it describes the Holy Ghost. He helps us ...
