Monday: So last night at the house of the Zone Leaders my companion and the ZL from the DR were dancing until Midnight while I slept in a hammock, and then in the morning we went to a chapel with different Missionaries, and they showed their routine to the Mission President for permission. And I showed him the White Man's overbite, because he asked if I could Dance. SO I showed him the Vogt Go to dance move. And he said he wants me to teach all the missionaries next week at the activity. Then afterwards with the ZLs went out to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, and then to the mall to window shop. I want cosas!!! Later we wrote everyone, then went to work. Tengo Sueno.
Tuesday: So it started off we went to our stake center in Villa Flor (like a 20 minute bus ride) to give service, they didn't know where the place was, so we took like 3 different buses and ended back in my area, within walking distance from my house. For 17 missionaries that's a lot of extra money and time. But oh well, it was nice, we visited an old folks home. Then afterwards we went back to Villa Flor and walked for a long time to go get Pizza hut....I was told they wanted to go to Villa Flor so I took them on that bus, the other bus near our house goes near the pizza hut. We could have saved like 30 minutes of walking by going on that one. Oh well. Then afterwards while we were with Elder Menezes and Najera, it started raining. And like bad. I like a little bit of rain here or there to keep things cool, but I seriously hate it when it downpours because I get soaked, and it is pretty hard with my glasses. Oh well. Then later we had a meeting with the bishop and members in positions in our ward, about an open house in under 2 weeks.
Wednesday: So we started dancing in the morning, the elders in our zone. For our skill or whatever for the activity on Monday. So we did that for like 3 hours in the morning, then in the afternoon I was feeling a bit sick, so yeah no good.
Thursday: To continue that, I woke up the next day and lo and behold I was worse! So I checked and had a fever of a bit over 101 so that sucked, but it broke and it was another day, though I didn't have any energy. Oh well. Went on Divisiones with Elder Najera,
Friday: Guess what! More Dancing! So yeah tired as fetch like usual. But hey it's a good way to loose a couple pounds for Christmas....Or at least fight off the chocolate and treats my mom sent me. Love ya momma. So afterwards we went and visited families, but stayed mainly in RepartoSchick and Los Naciones that touch Schick not further. Since Frick we have a giant area. I heard like area wise with people to proselyte we have one of the largest, or largest areas in the mission. Other areas are near this size, but they have long stretches with no people, whereas here it's only residential, everywhere. So yeah mostly close by, but that's not too bad. Anyways the day was pretty good, I didn't feel sick anymore, so all is well.
Saturday!!!
So it started off and we had a zone elder breakfast at our chapel before the dance practice. So more or less, we had cereal and cookies, but still was awesome. Then more dancing. I think we are getting pretty coordinated, now only if we had another week, but hey oh well it's all for fun. So afterwards we had to run pants to the stake center for a baptism, and after all that our normal schedule. Here we don't teach as many investigators as we probably should, but most of our time is with recent converts and less active members. Since every Sunday we have an attendance of close to 100, but on our records in this ward we have close to 500 members, so we have a ton, but not many who go on a regular basis. Like everywhere you go we hear, "oh he's a member, she's a member, they're members. Montons!" But we need to help with the assistance. Though the leaders should also do some stuff to help too, not leave it all up to the missionaries.
Sunday: Okay so today was pretty normal, up and early to bring people, church, numbers, people, and stuff. And Now we have Elder Lund (the other Elder from Billings, MT) and Nuñez at our house for the night, so party time! Nah we gonna sleep.
Monday! So we had the activity today, so we had to get up nice and early at 5 in the morning. Which isn't too fun, much less when you went to bed at 2. So I was really tired all day, but who cares, it was awesome! I got to see all my mission friends, got to watch Captain America Civil war, and got to show off our sick dance for the talent show. So after all that we had a devotional at our stake center so we went to that then came back here. But we had to walk. So it took like over a half hour of walking to get back, with all of our stuff and some extra gifts of a large bowl of fruit. And since he lost his wallet on the Bus, and didn't have money for a taxi back to his place, Elder Lund and his companion are staying the night again tonight. Though since we only got like 4 hours of sleep. Nah closer to 3.5 we are all going to bed normally tonight. And tomorrow we have a reunion of the new people, so we will just go together.
