On monday night, Elder Lumsden left. We ordered pizza before he left and had a little party with him. It was sad for him to go but Elder Anderson replaced him and hes awesome. He is from Draper Utah and he has one more transfer in the mission than me.
As far as the missionary work goes this week it was pretty slow. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were all rough. Appointments fell through, nobody would answer the door, I think we got 3 new investigators the whole time. that's it. But then friday came… Sweet sweet friday. Friday was one of the days you live for in the mission. We had amazing 5 lessons with investigators, and 2 lessons with menos activos. And we got 2 more baptismal dates! Oh it was just the best. Everyone was just super willing to learn, the spirit was super strong, and people we thought were getting uninterested, got a new spark. And just to top it off, one of the menos activos we visited works at my FAVORITE panaderia (bakery) (the bakery is called La Gruta), and he gave me a bag full of my favorite Facturas. And Let us try their new cookies and bread and other stuff.
Saturday and Sunday we had interviews with president, and stake conference. I love President so much. He's just so smart and always gives the best Charlas (lessons). He gave a talk about how the members need to be more involved in the missionary work so hopefully it inspired them to help us more. Members are key everyone so help your missionaries at home. Investigators feel so awkward at church if they don't have familiar faces.
This thursday Elder Packer is coming to speak to us. (Elder Packer's son) So we are all really excited for that. He asked us to study chapter 4 and 9 of PMG
My Testimony has strengthened so much this week! The hard times are worth is because after a trial of your faith the good comes. The Fridays of life come, you just have to be patient. Just keep working hard! “It's the climb” (me and my comp sing that song every hill we have to walk up)
Funny moment. (Kinda not really) We were out at like 12am or 1am because we had to drop Elder Lumsden off at the terminal and he had a late bus, and we saw our bishop on the way home and he was super confused why we were out so late in normal clothes. But we still don't know why he was out so late. Sus.
Love you all!
