hey everyone! this week has been really good but really crazy!
Tuesday we had the whole day planned and we didn't have to fill any time
with finding people!! we were able to fill the whole day with investigators that
we have! We didn't actually have a chance to visit all of the m but it was nice
to have a place to go and not just talk to anybody we could find haha! We had
been teaching these two teenagers who were members of a prophetic church for a
really long time and have had a ton of crazy questions about all sorts of crazy
doctrines, studying for them has been fun haha i have learned all sorts of
things that i didn't know before! but we finally put a baptismal date with the
two of them! its just a goal, but we were happy! I hope they can progress and go
to church! other than that it was a crazy day visiting lots of people and
teaching a lot of the same lesson hah! Wednesday we had a district meeting and
had to go to an other area again.. it takes a while to travel so it wasted a lot
of our time! but it was a good meeting! then we had a few visits planned, but
the rest of the afternoon we had to contact haha! we cant visit everyone every
day so we end up doing a lot of contacting every other day or so! We have a
family also that were teaching that is really good! Jose Miguel and Ana! the
mom, Ana is really positive, she has been reading the book of mormon and wants
to go to the church the only problem is that she doesn't want to go without her
husband and he has been working a lot. hopefully we can get them to church this
coming Sunday! Thursday we ha to spend a good amount of time contacting too,
but we found some good people! i was on interchanges with the zone leaders of
soyapongo elder Santos. He is a really good missionary! i learned a lot of good
different ways to teach a few principles! i don't like doing interchanges, there
probably my least favorite thing in the mission but after i always feel good
about them haha! i just don't like changing companions.. good thing is that i
cant leave my are so when we have to do them i always stay here! We had some good lessons with a few of our progressing investigators, one named marta, she
is older and constantly has to watch her ,mom who is really sick and cant do
anything for herself.. its sad because nobody helps here shes all alone. but
shes really good! she hasn't been able to go to church though but this week we
are going to help her bring her mom in her wheel chair so they can both be at
church! she agreed to let us come and help her move her mom and put her in the
chair and go! I really hope she can go!! Friday we had a day pretty normal..
until about 4pm. We were contacting a person that the sister missionaries were
teaching a long time ago and she was asking why they changed us missionaries so
much and we told her that it just happens and sometimes its faster than others,
and in that moment.. we got a call from the assistants. elder Perez had emergency
changes!:( we don't know why of what happened but tons of people had changes! We
were really sad! That kind ruined our day and we didn't feel motivated anymore
but we kept working and ended up teaching the lady and putting a baptismal date
with her! Saturday we had the "changes" we went to the place and were ready to
go there was my other comp and everything and they said okay all of you go back
to Delgado and you will be in a trio. .so we went there and the other elder put
his stuff aside and as we were prepping to go they called again and said okay
elder Aguilar, my new companion you will go to this area for a few days pack a
few days of things... so he left and i was back with elder Perez.. they said it'd
only be for another day or two but we were happy because we had our baptism and
he was able to be there!! After all it was a good day. Sunday was the change..
President came at 7 in the morning and took my companion and i stayed all day
with a member haha! it was really weird! we went to invite the investigators and
everything! then i waited basically all day in the church for my new companion
then when he came we had to wait with the other elder that came with my
companion so his new companion could come! im sad.. didn't want my comp to leave
but its okay. my new companion is from here! El Salvador but is waiting to go to
his mission in Puerto Rico! im finishing his training.. he was in chalate when i
was there so i already know him and have worked with him in the past! good
missionary! but very different person than me haha! don't think ill be with him
very long, he already has his visa its just a matter of when the office calls
us! could be a week could be a month. But everything is good now! i have had a
good pday, we got to play ping pong! I played a lot! i never lost haha! i really
really enjoyed it! Well this week has been a good one and i hope it will
continue that way!! Thanks for reading!! Hope all is well for everyone back
home!!
