Hola familia! Come esta?
This week was pretty fun and long!! haha but some fun things happen and some more fun things yet to happen in the coming week!
Monday
Was a great and fun day. We got to spend it with the elders of an area that shares our bordered, we do a lot of things with them. So we went out and got a pizza to share. Then we had a fun family home evening with a recent convert and we watched Meet The Mormons and it was super fun. The mother and rest of the family aren’t Mormons and so they really enjoyed it. We had a great time talking about all the people and how they all have different lives but all share such a strong similarity. How they all are striving to live righteously. It was a great meeting and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Tuesday
We had a zone meeting, like we do every Tuesday and it was really fun. It was the last one before a transfer so we had pictures and we had a fun meeting. We were trained on how to contact in a more efficient manor and it was great information, I really loved it! Then we had splits with the elders De Bolivar and we had a fun time contacting and getting to know the other elders!
Wednesday
We had some great meetings this day with some new investigators and some old ones. We taught the lessons on the commandments and how important it is to live them! Every time I teach theses lessons I realize how much my testimony grows and how important it is to live the commandments every day. It is so amazing to be out here in the field serving!
Thursday
We had a very calm day, we contacted in the morning and then we ate with a family for lunch. We went to pass by the contacts we made earlier but not a lot of them were home. Then none of the ones that were home wanted to listen to us! But… it’s ok!
Friday
We had a great lesson in the morning with one of our progressing investigators. Then we ate with a Mexican family and we had tacos, it was so fun! They are so crazy this family and they have a juice they make that is spicy and it was terrible. They all loved it! Then at night we had a ward meeting and it was nice to discuss our investigators with the ward leaders. Hopefully we can work together to help all our investigators find there way.
Saturday
We had a good day, we visited some members and ate hamburgers with a young newly wed family in our ward and it was super fun! Then we had a lesson with a new family and it was ok they asked a lot of questions but they weren’t really questions about what we were teaching at all. So I am not so sure that was a good sign but they listened.
Sunday
We had a great Sunday like normal. We had a farewell in our ward a guy leaving to serve his mission in Brazil. He gave a 45 second talk then his parents talked for the rest of sacrament, I am not sure why I wasn’t given the option to have this for my farewell? Then after words we ate with a family and then we walked home and got ready to leave when we got transfer calls. I get to stay in my same area but with a new companion from Bueno Aires and I am super excited for that!
I will fill you in on all the new companion information next week.
-Love Elder Vance
