Well this week was another week of traveling! On Wednesday we had a little capacitaion (training) with President McM. and his assistants. We had to travel an hour and a half to an area called Santa Rosa in my district. Well President benefited the time to give us our interviews because he rarely comes out this far! So the interview went really good! We mostly talked about the unity and what it really needs so that was a good conversation! After 5 minutes of talking he told me that I was good so we ended the interview there haha but that's okay with me!
On Saturday I had to travel back to Santa Rosa for another baptismal interview! This interview was really special. The youth didn't know Spanish she only speaks and understands Guarani. So I had to have a translator present in the interview! It went really good and she was really excited for the baptism! Turns out her Dad wants to be baptized too! But he killed someone so that will require an interview with President McM.
Yesterday. We had our District Conference! And that meant that we would have to wake up at 2 in the morning and take a bus to our conference with the members! So this was our focus for most of the week, is to try to motivate these members to go to this conference! We ended up taking 22 people with us which was really good for considering what time it was! The bus was full. So I stood up the whole ride there fighting the Zs! The conference was really good. The Leaders spoke, Elder P. spoke (he has 1 year in the mission) and we also had an Area broadcast from Elder Bednar! It was super powerful! Well on the way back I was so tired that I just laid down on the floor and slept all the way home! We got home at 6 and I was still super tired! But we were so grateful and amazed at the testimonies of the people that went!
Well this week we really feel that we found somebody that has been prepared to receive the Gospel! His name is J. We contacted his mom one day in her little washing clothes business and we asked if we could teach her and her family! She accepted and told us that her son J. really needed it. So when we arrived later that night we met up with J. and we taught him about the Restoration and when we presented the Book Of Mormon he acted super surprised, he was really quiet during the whole lesson until we presented the Book of Mormon, he then expressed to us part of his story that one of his cellmates from prison gave him O Livro De Mormon which is the Book of Mormon in Portuguese. Well he doesn't understand it so he always thought that this book was only in Portuguese! So he begged us for the Spanish copy and of course we gave it to him! He was pretty excited! He would've came to the conference but somebody stole his Motorcycle the night before!
Well family I did get your package from President McM on Wednesday! I loved all the stuff you guys sent me! I have the Tombstone pin on my backpack, I used the New York tie on Sunday and this brainteaser has been really useful in all my travels! So THANK YOU so much! :) I love you guys and I pray for you always! I will write you more next week! :)
Love.
