So I guess it's time to start writing about my week and how it went.
So starting off on Tuesday. We had interviews with the Mission President. So we got there nice and early, and had our meeting then we had lunch then went in for the interviews. It was probably the easiest one that I've seen this whole time I've been here. I think it's since his daughter just went out on the mission and maybe he is thinking "I want her president to be nice to her so I'll take it easy on the missionaries today." But it was nice I enjoyed it. I played a joke on Sister Poncio (president's wife)... so we went out to grab some some snacks and I asked if she wanted something. She said "Sure, something rico (good tasting)" and I said okay. So we went to the place and I saw some vegetable oil that was the brand Rico so I bought one and pulled it out saying you said you wanted something rico, and here is the rico. But I also got something for real and gave it to her. Then in the evening there was a meeting between the stake pres and mission pres and they invited my companion and 1 other to be in there, so I left with a couple other missionaries in the zone to work a short while. Then afterwards a transformer blew up a short distance from where we were standing and out went the power for the whole city for a bit over an hour.
Wednesday. Well today was pretty uneventful. Didn't end up doing all too much. Just some of the normal visits, and yeah.
Thursday So today we visited around and I guess not much to tell about.
Friday
We had a good day, ended up doing a family home evening for some less
active members, and invited a couple families over there, so it turned
out nicely. I gave the lesson about Prayer there and how prayers can be
answered. Then we played a game. Went to have dinner, then night time.
Saturday
starting the day off nice and early we met up with some of the other
missionaries and headed off to one of the areas of the sisters of
Tonala. So we went there supposedly to do a service project, but in
reality we just kinda hung out. Played baseball and some other games.
And helped set up for an activity that they were doing. Had lunch and a
spiritual message. I know that we didn't end up doing much, but I had a
fun time and enjoyed it, even though it was blazing hot out and the sun
was a killer. Though we got back and in the evening went out for
smoothies with some of the other areas. Mmmm smoothies. There is a nice
place at the corner near our house that sells good smoothies at a low
price.
Sunday
we had church and did the normal routine, but in the evening there was a
leader meeting for the stake in the church, so we went to that. So we went then headed to dinner,
and had our DL with us since he was gonna stay the night since we live
near the market and the buses go there, and we had to wake up super
early today. So we chilled in the house and the ZLs invited us to chill
at their place so we went there till midnight then headed back to the
house and slept. Waking up at 3:50 AM Monday, but the guide didn't know
what he was talking about and yeah we waited a couple hours for a bus
but it never came. so we went back to sleep. Then we played soccer in
the church and a couple other games, and went out for lunch, chilled at
the house with some of the newer missionaries, and yeah now we are here.
Thanks everyone for reading see you all next week.
