So we had district meeting on thursday and i got to meet with the other
missionaries in my district. There are ten of us and two of us are new
from the mtc. Our district is the Valencia District and in our city it´s
a ward of about 100+ members. Last night
we had a missionary leave from the ward. Anyway, after the meeting we had
pizza at dominos and boy that was super good. I broke my soda fast this week
when i just had the desire to have sprite and bought a bottle at the store
here. I remember why i stopped drinking soda; it´s so good and i can´t
stop. our apartment is nice and kind of new, but we have really bad
lighting there. i hate it because it gives me a headache just trying to
read. I´ve been super busy that I haven´t had time to unpack. We do
have a washer though.
On friday we had weekly planning and that was super long because we had to
go extra long because i don´t know really anything. We finally got out of
the piso (apartment) and did some member visiting and met with an investigator
named Amilio. It´s hard to teach when i can speak very little and i can´t
even understand what these people are saying because they speak super
fast. I have to focus super hard to pick up a word or two.
on saturday we went to the church to play sports. By the way, our
church is built like the ones in the US, but like cut in half. It´s super
new, like 2 weeks new. It even made the paper here. so yeah, we played
sports there and had cake because it was someone´s birthday. we helped
wash one of the member’s car at a gas station.
on sunday we went to 10am church and had priesthood class first followed by
sunday school, and finally sacrament meeting. A nonmember came in after church
and asked for a blessing and so the bishop did that. We went to the Rojas’
house for lunch and had spaghetti and salad. we taught about the book of
mormon to this french guy who was living with the members. My companion
taught and i just bore my testimony. We did teach a man named Pedro who
is this catholic old man who just walked in the church that night and wanted to
pray in the chapel. We were able to
teach him the 1st lesson, which was cool because he was super receptive to the
spirit.
So that´s been my week. oh yeah, on thursdays, we teach an english
class and it would be nice if you guys could send me some grammar stuff in my
emails.
I love you all so much and wish you guys a super week. i´ll write you again on monday. Sorry
but no pictures this week because these computers do not have a memory card
holder thing so i´ll have to buy one and use it next week. right now it´s
raining and i´m loving it.
Love,
Elder Gonzalez
