First week back at Church

Hola mis amigos y familia,

So this last Monday we went to the border and took some pictures. It was just a big metal fence but still pretty cool none the less.

This week we started running in the mornings and it is so hard to run because for one I haven't done it for a while and two the humidity makes it harder to breathe, but we have been having fun. 

We had a rougher week with people not wanting to talk to us or ignoring us. Some people just have super hard hearts. And with being able to reach out to more people than we normally do without technology means we find a lot more rejection than normal. We have found some people who are interested, but they usually live in a different area so we just pass them off. One particular funny example is that an Elder had given us a referral. We taught her and she was super awesome. Said that she would read the Book of Mormon and be baptized. We posted in our group chat of missionaries our little miracle and then sisters commented back that they were already teaching her so whoops! 

We were finally able to do service this week. We loaded some stuff into the back of our truck and then dropped it off at the member’s house. They bought us food for that which was awesome.

Then on Sunday we finally could go back to church so Elder Pico and I blessed the sacrament and of course everything had to be done super carefully. Afterwards we had to disinfect almost the whole building.

All I have are pictures from the border. It's hard to take lots of pictures during the week when all you do is stay in your house. 

Les quiero mucho!
