Thanks to my mom for the title. I honestly didn't realize I'm on week 50 right now, but she has been keeping track haha.
Anyways
to start this week off. Well Tuesday was a nice day it was pretty low
key, just worked like normal. Nothing really noticable
Wednesday
is when we had our District Meeting. So we had that and it was alright.
Afterwards we went back to our area and worked. All pretty low key.
Though I had a bet with another elder. Soooo more or less I sent him a
message jokingly saying "If you crush the dreams of some child I will
give you 5 cords tomorrow." (equivelent of like 16 cents) he responded.
"If you take a picture with 2 drunks 5 cords" So I had to one up that.
"If you take a video of you dancing with a drunk or a cochon 20 cords"
So in the night time I was looking in all the normal places the drunks
hang out.....I COULD NOT FIND A SINGLE DRUNK! I was like wait what
happened? It was super weird. Was it like they all conspired
against me and decided to stop drinking for 1 night out of spite. (I
mean it doesn't help that recently a couple of the more prominet ones
died....but still.) So I came up with an idea. I almost gave up but was
like - I have one last trick up my sleeve. There is place near the
church. So I walked up to it, saw a couple people eating dinner (and
drinking) Outside. Walked up, no word, selfie. Turned on flash, 2nd
selfie, and walked out. And Bam.......He also won the bet so I ended up
buying him a snack worth 20 cords the day afterwards. But yeah it was
nice, I enjoyed the video.
Thursday. We had to wake up bright and early. Well a bit before bright. More like Dark and Early at 4Am to be able to make it to Matagalpa in time to catch a bus to Estili because there was a Multi Zone meeting going on. So made it there in
time, and sat chatting with the one I made the bet with the 2 hour bus
ride....I had to take a leak so bad. I won't go into details,
but wow once I got off the bus we rushed straight to the bathroom. Then
afterwards we headed to the meeting, but it was in a different church
than normal, so we also had to pay for a taxi.... I ended up seeing a
couple old companions, like Elder Alfaro, and I also got to see Elder
Price from the MTC with me. It was a nice meeting. The normal routine,
but it was alright. Then we headed back, but we ended up getting back
pretty late, even after the last bus to a far area had already left. So another set of Missionaries
headed to our place since we were the closest, and the only ones with
more matresses. But the leaders got mad at us...but I had a good time.
Friday. Working like normal
Saturday.
same working like normal. At night time the secretary of the ward found
us in a house in the night and was like. The Branch pres said I had to
preside tomorrow since he has some other thing going on and can't come.
And the Stake called me to Matagalpa, so I won't be able to go too. So
you have to preside and do everything. So he gave us the keys.
So
Sunday yeah that's what we did. We opened up the church early and
prepared everything, then closed it again as we went to go for people to
bring them, then we opened it back up and had a nice day at church. The
attendance was pretty low, but all things considering it was a nice
day.
And now here we are. I be writing you all. Thanks for reading. Cya next week.
