well it was just another normal week here, although maybe not really but it just seemed to go by without anything wrong. and it wasnt until the weekend that anything really interesting happened. i dont have much time today to write it all so im just gonna tell what happened this weekend.
saturday we went to a ward activity in another ward, juan griego. it was a talent show and we were told that we could go if we took an investigator. and so we took daniela so that she could see what a church activity is like. it also helped though that the young women from our ward were going too cuz one of them was participating in the show (her name is valentina and she sings very very well. she was also a main part of the 50 year celebration that we had last october) the show was really good though. most of the people just sang but there were also a couple little things in between that were good. and it ended up being 3 hours long. but i had fun hanging out with elder tukuafu and elder balcon the whole time. speaking of daniela also, she is doing really well. we are getting so much support from the whole ward with her which has been really good. i think this is the best i have seen the ward take in one of our investigators in my whole mission. and thats helped her be able to want to go to church more and feel comfortable around everyone and being there. then sunday we had the baptism for carlos. i was so stressed out the whole morning with trying to make sure that he got there on time and filling up the baptismal font (which went bad cuz i forgot until it was late so the water wasnt exactly warm), and also making sure that daniela got to church and finding baptismal clothes for carlos and going to ward council before and just everything else that had to get done. but the baptism turned out alright and its done with now so that was relaxing for me afterward. but then we had a stake meeting with all the missionaries from the zone and the ward council from every ward in the afternoon and pres king was also there. so basically after Sunday i was just ready to sleep for a whole day. but unfortunately we cant and so im just tired still. i did also talk to pres king after the meeting about how stressed i was and talked to him about some of my struggles and he shared DyC 84:106 and that was kinda comforting for me. (106... And if any man among you be strong in the Spirit, let him take with him him that is weak, that he may be edified in all meekness, that he may become strong also.). but thats pretty much it for this week. changes came this week and went without anything happening to us so ill be here another 6 weeks with elder alcaraz (assuming that something weird doesnt happen before then which you never know with how my mission has been so far) but i hope that everyone has a good week. chao
