this was another one of those weird weeks that we have every now and then where we have several meetings during the week or anything thats just not normal. and i always just feel like we do a ton but really we dont do much.
wednesday we had interviews with president king and it felt good to be able to sit down with him and talk about a few things, with elder alcaraz being really the most important. it was definitely the longest interview that ive had since getting to the mission, but the time seemed to go by quickly. at night we had a lesson with camila, the girl that just wont decide to get baptized and stick with it. we talked a lot about not needing to know everything before and things like that. cuz she said that she noticed during this last time she had off from school that the days that she didnt read the book of mormon, she felt like something was lacking.so that was good. we just need her to make the decision and follow through til the end. cuz i know that she would be a great member, seeing as how she basically already is almost.
friday we had the leader meeting in maipu and that has definitely become one of my favorite meetings now cuz its always a lot of fun while also learning how to be a better leader. this time it was funny cuz several of the zone leaders did a little skit thing to go along with their class. so it was fun.
saturday we went to the baptism that hna lopez and hna fuentes had. i wanted to go with daniela so that she could see another baptism but at the last moment she couldnt go. but we decided to go anyway to support the hermanas. i feel like both the hermanas have become my good friends now and i have a lot of confidence with them, which normally doesnt happen a lot between the elders and the hermanas. their baptism went well though and i was happy for them. the other cool thing about going though was that i got to talk to a guy that i knew from republica that speaks english. apparently he had gotten married recently and is going to that ward now. so it was cool to be able to talk to him.
sunday we had a big meeting with all the leaders in the mission again. but this one was more important because it was with elder zeballos, the first counselor in the new south america south area presidency. and it was also with the leaders from the santiago north mission. but he talked a lot about how we arent baptizing enough basically and that we need to baptize as many people as possible. cuz right now we have gotten into a stage of only baptizing the people that are really good that we are sure have a chance of staying active. but he said we need to find those people and the others that are waiting for us in our sectors. and that we need to give a bigger effort because there is another level above where we are now. basically i just walked out of that meeting wanting to just baptize and be a better missionary and do everything that i can. it was a good feeling.
thats all the important stuff from my week though this week. the weather got kinda colder again lately but it still hasnt rained much which is sad cuz we are starting to get out of the rainy season here without having hardly any rain. but everything is going well. hope that everyone is doing well and has a good week.
P.S. Watch for pictures later this week...I actually put it on my calendar so I won't forget...head back about Thursday. :)
