Its week 4 here in Unquillo and Im having a blast! I
finally received my money from the mission and so I bought batteries to
take some pictures!!! And today we´re heading to a waterfall thing....
so ill be sure to take some pictures of that.
How is everyone doing? Im guessing good. some highlights from this week are:
1.
We got pulled over by cops. Yeah.... I guess we were walking to fast or
something. so yeah, we were visiting an inactive family who lives in
Barrio Talar, which is way far away from our pensión. We were walking to
their house and then we decided we were going to try and contact some
people. I went up to a house, knocked on the door, and a lady came to
the window.... She pretended she was deaf and so i just said, "we´ll
come back another day." then the deaf lady replied , "ok, gracias"......
Just an example of the lame excuses that we get from people. but yeah.
so we continued walking and there was a bunch of cops on the street next
to us.... one of the cops stopped and told us to turn around. We were
like..... ok..... so yeah, they walk up to us, ask for our DNI, and so
he starts checking our stuff. Then he asks us if we understand
spanish... "no dummie, I just stopped when you said to, and turned
around when you said to." man i hate cops... but yeah, they told us that
some lady just barely called them and said that two "missionaries" were
trying to get into her house to rob her..... (kinda an ironic sentence
to me) he took down our information and then left. so yeah, I was a
wanted criminal in Argentina :).
then this sunday we get out of church and then our
zone leaders call us and ask us if we got stopped by cops. we told them
the story and then the zl´s told us that some guy showed up at their
church and started asking how they could know if we were really
missionaries and not ladrones trying to rob them.... Needless to say, we
are going to start teaching him this week. :)
2. We put a fecha. We started talking to a girl
named deby. She is 18 and her parents are both inactive members. but
yeah, we were walking down the street one day and we pass some girl and
elder diamond says, "her parents are members but she´s not" "WHAT!? well
lets go talk to her!" so we went and talked to her, she came to church,
we had a lesson and we put a date for her baptism the 14th of july. :)
3. We taught Fernando. Fernando is just a contact we
did on the street. We talked to himand he was like, "yeah, pass by at
this time." ok. we got his direction and realized that he lives 1 street
away from us. haha. so we visited him. Talked about his family, and
then we shared the book of mormon. he is now reading it every night and
trying to take stuff out of it to become a better father. the only
problem with him is that he is not married.... But that is easily
fixable :)
4. We taught familia dominguez. FAmilia dominguez is
a family that is inactive. We passed by them, asked them why they
aren´t going to church. the are going to a baptist church. So i dropped
some cain on them, and went into deep doctrine about the priesthood and
the authority. The mom, at the end of the lesson, was like, wow..... if i
would´ve known that.....It was a fun lesson.
5. We taught Miguel Ángel. Miguel Ángel is just like
the Familia Dominguez but they are investigators. We stopped, and
talked to them deeply about the authority and the priesthood and how the
Apostasy happened and why there was a need for the restoration. They
promised that they are going to read.
So yeah, this week was fun! I learned a lot about the authority and the priesthood!
I hope you are all good! Love you all!
