well first off i just want to start by saying i just had the dumbest thing ever happen to me. i went to put my memory card into the computer and i pushed it in and the card slid down to far or something and then went into the computer. i dont know if i explained that very well but basically i lost it for now and i have to wait til some tech guy comes in a couple days to take it out. so that sucks.
but anyway i had a pretty good week, for the most part. elder sosa and i started practicing for the talent show this friday. and we settled on the songs that we are going to sing. we were gonna do unstoppable by rascall flatts but that one is a little to difficult so we changed the english one to more than words. but i cant remember who its by. and then we are adding another for a kind of "encore" song called "mientes" by camila. we are getting help from one of our investigators, sergio, who is like 15 or 16 years old and plays the guitar really well. but im excited for it.
but thursday this week, we did divisions with a couple of the youth from our ward that are going on missions. one already got his call to peru and the other is doing his papers. but it was kinda cool cuz we went and taught a lesson for just 20 minutes but when we walked out, the one that i was with said wow i just felt the spirit so strong in there and it just made me kinda smile cuz it was just another lesson and so he is going to be more surprised when he actually gets to the mission. but it also showed me how used we get to just feeling the spirit and going off it in the mission that it almost becomes more of a reaction and less of thinking about it. but it was cool. and then thursday night we went and played soccer in the church with the guys that always play there every thursday. cuz we invited a few investigators and put our own team together. and it was cool cuz we just dominated even though we werent very good individually, we worked together well and werent selfish like the other teams. but i played goalie the whole time and the fun part was that after everyone told me how i was the best goalie that played that night. so i felt pretty good that i gained some respect from latins in the soccer area.
then friday morning we had a special meeting with the missionaries from our zone. each zone had a special meeting to talk about how we can better as a mission. cuz apparently our mission is way under the number of the others in santiago in terms of baptisms. and so we are trying to take a step up to be on the level with the east and north mission. but it was something very spiritual cuz we were all fasting and giving each other ideas and everything about how to get better. so that was cool.
saturday we did divisions again with the same 2 kids. and it was good cuz we found a very good lady. we knocked on her door and as soon as we started talking, she told us about how her friend always talks to her about the church and that she has been interested and a bunch of other stuff. and then at the end she asked if our church was open to anyone who wanted to come and we said yes and she said that she wants to come and she how it is. so i have some hopes for her.
then sunday we had stake conference. our ward had to put together the choir for that. and it went pretty well until the very end of the last song when we messed up bad. which kinda sucks cuz thats what people will remember but all well. it was a pretty good conference. there were a ton of people there too. the only thing that was disappointed cuz we had no one come. but i guess you cant have a good week every week. but that was basically my week. hope that you are all doing well. take care
Another great letter :)
