Missionary Monday - Week Onley Week 10

Good afternoon! Sorry this is super late getting out but better late than never 😉

So last Monday we went to the lights and choir with Rosanna, that was fun. The lights were a little weaker this year because they had the whole parking lot of the temple blocked off for construction so there aren't any lights on those trees.

Last Tuesday we did a bunch of finding, ate with a family, but nothing super special.

Wednesday we tried to sneak attack Felicita but she didn't answer the door so 💩. We did some finding after and contacted a guy at his car who ended up preaching some WACK stuff to us for what felt like forever. We ate with the chicas family and they are super cool. They got married like immediately after high-school and had a baby right away so apparently their lives were rough for a lil while but they pulled through. He's like 25 and in nursing school or something like that. Then we went for an appointment and the lady was asleep so that was a bummer.

Thursday we had zone conference, the whole thing was on accountability and trying to be "on fire" all the time. When they were talking about being on fire Elder Navarro leaned over and said "I'm so on fire I think I'm in hell" that was funny coming from him 😂 We were paired with the all sister zone again and I think the count was 12 elders to 52 sisters, it's nuts. Met with a less active family and they told us they aren't "that far" from the church, they just don't read, pray, come to church, watch conference, or do anything else... But it's okay because we are helping them 😉

Friday we had district council and interviews. Based off my interview I think I will be transferred on the 19th of this month but we will see 🤞🏾 Right after district council we exchanged and I went to Moville north with Elder Probert. That was fun to be back in that area. We did a bunch of finding and got let in like 3 times which was super cool. Also, the Bible study was canceled this week so it didn't happen... But next week they said they'll be doing it so be ready for that.

Saturday was more finding, more getting let in, one guy committed to being baptized, he was awesome. He didn't know we were "The Mormons" Until we talked about the Book of Mormon at the end 😂 He's onto us! Then we exchanged back and that was it.

Sunday was stake conference, the talks were... interesting. The first was a YSA convert which was alright but just weird, you had to be there. The second was a lady who went on and on about her husband leaving the church and how much it sucks. Awkward. The rest were fine but the first two set a weird mood. After that we studied and did a bunch of finding. We also taught the mom of a recent convert who is visiting for a month from El Salvador, she's super cool and loved the restoration. We'll be meeting with her tonight so we are excited for that.

Today we had district activity pretty much all day, hence the super late email. But we did sports, gingerbread houses, and white elephant. But that's about it.

Since I'll probably be getting transferred on the 19th if anyone is planning on sending Christmas things if it says it'll get here before the 19th then sending it to the apartment is fine. If it's supposed to arrive after, the mission office would be better. Thanks for reading! Hope you all have a great week!
