Hola a todos!
Happy late Halloween!
So last week we played kickball in the morning. Then that afternoon the assistants came and picked up Elder Loo to take him the the airport. That night we cleaned the house and found our we have an ant problem.
Tuesday we had zone conference. Part of it was online and the other part in person. It went super well and after we got Little Caesars. We went contacting later that night and passed by this creepy abandoned house and we got all spooked so we just went home after that.
Wednesday we did service at the Casa de Esperanza. Then did some contacting before we went to the church to watch a movie. Only one person came and we ended up watching Halloween Town. Then we had exchanges with the APs.
Thursday I was with Elder Bake all day and we went and visited a few people. We did service at the Casa de Esperanza again and they gave us two boxes with ton of food in it. At one point in our day we couldn't get into some lessons cause people either weren't home or there were big dogs. Also we were on bikes. Elder Bake said a prayer and then we felt like we should go to this one house. We get close and a whole bunch of dogs came out and he got scared but we went anyways and it was a less active member who didn't know if we still had church or not. Then we ran into this family who had talked to missionaries before and there are like 20 people in this household so we are excited to teach them. Later that night we switched back.
Friday, went by super fast. One highlight is we went by this family for dinner and they were talking about an activity we could do to help get members active and we asked if they would help us and quickly said no jaja. It was pretty funny.
Saturday we contacted these guys playing drums and long story short this guy thought we were angels and was crying and said my companion looked like his dad who had passed away. He gave him a five minute hug and then we invited him to church. He said he would go but wouldn't see us there because we were angels and that he wouldn't be able to see us anymore after that day. We also started doing some contacts in the cemetery to help people with family history. We took a less active member and he loved it. He knew like everyone there and did the contacting for us which was super cool!
Sunday we had an extra hour of sleep cause of daylight savings. But instead of that being a good thing and making it easier for people to get to church they were all confused about the time so just never came. We had a lesson with carina and set the 21st as her baptism and later Ruperto was a new we found in that household of 20. We asked if any of then had been baptized and he said him and his kids weren't but that he wanted to so we set a date with him for the same day too! God was definitely working his hand in our life this week and it was a privilege to be a part of it.
Monday we did some service and taught a few recent converts. It was weird not having p day. We went to contact in the cemetery again but with a different member and it was so funny having him start conversations but hey it worked. We did that and went home to this huge ant problem and so we had to by ant traps.
It was definitely one of the strangest, funniest, best weeks of the mission! I cant wait for the next.
Have a great week!
Elder Tolman
