Hola Everyone!!
This week has been great!! and again just a bunch
of curve balls! i think i have had one day of normal everything! So Tuesday we
had to go about an hour away for interviews with the president and when we got
about 45 minutes from our area.. we got a call, no more interviews haha so that
stunk, and i left my nice water bottle on the bus which made me a little sad but
im gonna buy a new one! we get nice filter bottles in the mtc that u can put
like any water in and drink from it!! Then we went to a baptismal interview
cause my comp is the district leader and it was interesting haha some people in
El Salvador have done some crazy things haha! Wednesday still another weird day,
and your all not gonna believe this but we got a call Tuesday night from the
zone and they said tomorrow be at cine mark center at 9 am.. we were confused and
they explained that the reason our interviews got cancelled was because
president was seeing a movie, the resurrection of Christ and liked it so he
wanted the entire mission to see it as well! so we went to watch a movie with
like 120 missionaries it was pretty funny! good movie, i think haha it was all in Spanish so i didn't get much but it was fun to be there in the AC and watch a
movie and eat popcorn! They want to close our branch because they dont think
the church attendance is sufficient so my comp and i are working really really
hard to try and get people invited and attending! we had 11 investigators and 9
less actives at church yesterday which we were half disappointed in and half
excited, disappointed because we invited like 150 haha! but we will keep the
branch open! we need 80 by June and were determined to get it! we had 62 at
church but lots of members didn't show up because its break here so that was a
bummer! next week we will!! We do lots of lessons with members here which i
like, cause they speak Spanish to me and help me get better! and I also really
like them! we have one who is named Johnathon who is 20 and preparing to serve,
hes a really cool guy and a good teacher, and the other is Mauricio, he is 17
and prepping to serve as well! Mauricio teaches reading tpo a family of 7 in our
area so we went with him helped out a little and shared a message! 7 new
investigators haha! were trying to get them to church! We also painted out local
pupuseria which was fun! Thursday was another weird day, i had to go to
immigration and go through that whole process which kinda ruined our plans and
we didn't get to do a whole lopt of teaching which was a bummer but now im legal
here haha! Friday was another not normal day.. we had district meeting so i didn't
get to do studies once again! but i got to eat a delicious chocolate covered
banana after! there isn't much to eat in our area so when we get to leave we take
advantage of it and eat yummy food! Saturday was just a bunch of traveling to
peoples houses and telling them the Sabbath day is important and they need to
go to church! haha and Sunday was just a usual Sunday with church, and inviting
people to come in the morning! it was nice! But anyways i am absolutely loving
everything about the mission, i have nothi8ng to complain about at all! the
people are so amazing and humble ready to listen to our message and my companion
is amazing! he is a phenomenal teacher and a great friend and trainer! I love my
area! its gorgeous and a total culture shock but its great! soo different here
but i love the experience! Hope everything is well for all of you! Thanks for
reading!!--
Love,
Elder Beck
