Hi everyone!! this week was really good and really not good haha!
We worked really hard and got some really good stuff done but also had some hard
experiences that bummed us out a bit! Monday was a normal pday.. but we found a
delicious burger place that we ate at! Its not in our area unfortunately but
yummy! then we went home and just relaxed until it was time to go teach! Tuesday
we went into Concepcion. We spent most of our time there this week because we
had some really positive people that we though were going to be ready to get baptized soon! One is a family named the family paneda, they are not positive
but the one who is the most positive is the daughter kimberly! she was doing
really really good until we had to teach chastity.. she is 17 and living with
her boyfriend and has a baby.. so she didn't like it very much! chastity is very
hard to teach and still help the person know that we just ant to help them. sometimes i think it seems like we are just telling them they are sinning but
really we are just trying out help people come unto Christ through utilizing his
atonement by repenting! but she wasn't reading the book of Mormon so we talked to her about that and she said she would read every day for at least 5 minutes so
she isn't a lost cause! but her mom also had an interesting experience..
apparently she had a series of dreams telling her that she was on a dark and
wrong path and she took that as her answer that our church is not true so we
need to work with her a bit! The other is another family they are the family
Escobar! They are the people we found the other week when it was pouring rain!
They are still really positive but very hard to find in the house together! They
stopped coffee and and are willing ot go to church but w can never find them all
together at home! They coudn't go to church this week but we hope they will be
able to next week! Wednesday we were in the same place put a few baptismal dates
and found some news but then we got rained on and got really wet.. not fun haha! Didn't write in my journal every day but i remember being in Concepcion pretty
much every day focusing on the people that could really progress! Fun story tho
we found a kid he was like 18 years old and we started talking to him outside
his house and asked him if we could share a short message with him, he said
yes, let us in and so we went in! We were really happy, so we walked in and
there was an older guy sitting down we said hola hermano! whats your name? he
replied why do you want to know my name, im not telling you my name.. we were
like um okay well im elder.. and he said yea thats not important to me i dont
care what your name is.. haha so we were just like well this is interesting and
then he said well que lo vaya bien which means like okay bye basically and then
said continue on your path and made us leave haha the kid was just standing
there awkward! it was pretty great! not a very nice guy hahah! rest of the week
was normal we worked real hard and had some little good experiences but nothing
too great this week! but we're excited to start the new week and were ready to
go do some good! Hoping this week well have more success!
I feel really bad but im out of time! Thanks for reading!
