this was a very productive week for us to start out the change and so it made it really fun and im excited to finish my time here in this sector (assuming this will be my last change here that is) but the next 5 weeks should be really good. we found a ton of new investigators, but the best part is that more than half of them DONT have to get married first. it was really amazing to find people who arent living together. but the best new that we found im hoping will be able to get baptized in this change. her name is adhia and she is the 10 year old daughter of a less active member. but the mom told us when we passed by that she has been thinking a lot lately about how her daughter needs to get baptized and that she wants to come back to church. so that would be awesome cuz thats a for sure baptism. all we have to do is teach her the basic stuff that a 10 year old needs to know to pass the interview and get her to church enough times.
the other person we are working a lot with right now is ainhoa still but she just has to stop smoking and come to church. she has almost stopped now. she hasnt smoked in about a week and a half and she said that she is doing whatever she can to avoid it. the only thing that im a little worried about right now with her is that next week she needs to have her interview to get baptized the 11th. but this next week is stake conference and so its a 45 min walk to that building from where she lives. so we have to try and find someone who has a car to take her which is a problem in our area cuz im pretty sure not a single person in our ward owns a car. so we´ll see.
another thing that should be fun not this week but next week is that we are having a talent show in the ward. and each organization has to put together something for the show. and considering that our ward mission leader is inactive and we dont have ward missionaries, i would say that its safe to assume that its up to elder sosa and i to do something for the missionary work organization. so what we are thinking about doing is this. because he plays guitar. so he is going to play guitar and im going to sing (or at least make an attempt at it) but we are thinking about doing 3 different songs. the first one is "sideways" by rascal flatts. cuz it doesnt matter how bad i sing that one, the main thing will be that its in english so everyone would love it anyway. the second 2 songs are spanish songs. the first one is called "que lloro" and i really like it so im hoping we can do that one really well. and then the last one is really popular in latin america called "corazón sin cara" but im hoping that we can pull it all off cuz it would be a lot of fun. but we have to get to work practicing right away cuz we have to put the guitar together with my voice. but im kinda looking forward to doing that.
saturday was kinda funny something that happened. cuz last time we had the sister die in our ward, the church was randomly open in the middle of the day and so we walked in and thats how we found out that she had died. so saturday the church was open again in the middle of the day and i just figured that they were cleaning. but elder sosa and i were joking around and i said i dont know im kinda scared cuz last time it was open there was a dead person, but completely just as a joke. so we went inside and walked to the cultural hall and there was a casket there. and elder sosa and i had to leave like right away cuz we were laughing to hard cuz it was actually true. but this time it was just a lady that was 99 years old so it was her time to go. but still thats the third viewing that ive gone to in the mission now already. hopefully i dont keep up this pace the whole mission.
but other than that everything is going good. im learning how to play ping pong a lot better now from some of the members here still. they really are so good down here at ping pong. and then elder leavitt and i played today and he beat me 8 straight times. but it was really good ping pong. but anyway i hope that you all have a good week. take care
