I didn’t even realize this week was the 4th of July!
I felt so bad when I realized it was! But we didn’t do anything other than
work! I am not going to lie I am really good at not getting home sick now, but
I did get a little homesick and wish I was there for the 4th! I
can’t wait to have a pick up and go fishing and make fires and wear red white
and blue for the whole week of the fourth after this!
Sunday: I went to church in Iñaquito for the first time and it
was pretty cool!!!! All the members wanted to help!!!! There are now 8 missionaries
in my ward and the mission presidents of both missions! It’s cool I guess but
we also have to be really good!! There is really no like relax time for us when
we do know what I am far from being perfect in anything but I guess that’s why
we go crazy when we get to our house here in the mission!!! My comps are
crazy!!!! For example I took the shoe of Elder Beltran and I put it in a bowl
of water and put it in the freezer and then in the morning when he was looking
for his shoe he found it there and was pissed and then the next day I found my
shirt frozen solid in the freezer!! hahahaha I took a video of it I will send!!!
It’s soooo funny!!!!!
Monday: Well this was a pretty boring Monday!!! Just did all of
the verifications and then we where in the offices until 1:30 am getting ready
for the council of the mission. I was soooo tired and then we just went home
and crashed!!!!!!!!
Tuesday: We had the mission council and it went really well!!! The
mission council is where all the zone leaders get together and then me my Comp and
the president have 6 hours to train them on what they can do better and what we
want to happen in the mission!!! It’s cool to think that we have a job like
that. This time we talked about "
reaching our full potential" and we talk about the changed elephant. You
might of heard the story before, but if not, it talks about an elephant and how
strong they are and if they are sooo strong then why don’t the ones that are
tied up just escape and the idea is that when the elephant was a baby he tried
to fight and break the chain but at this time he could not do it because he was
not strong enough at that time and now that he is big he still has in his mind
that he is to small to be able to break it!!!! I feel like it came out well and
the rest of the council also went well!!!
Wednesday: Alright, wellllllllllllll this was a pretty boring
day as well!!!! We were just in the offices doing like little things for the
pres and then we went to work in the sector but with little success!!! It’s
pretty hard to do anything there because they are all houses that are huge with
tons of rich people!! I have the goal to baptize at least one more family
before I go home!!!! I have plenty of time but I want at least one more!!!!!! I
really do love being a missionary!!!!!!!
Thursday: I don’t remember what I did this day......At all… Wow
I really can’t remember haha.
Friday: In the morning we went to look for houses for the new
missionaries that are coming!! I got to go to Cumbaya and go with Elder Equtie!
He is a good missionary and we had a good time looking together We found 2
houses and then I went back to the offices with elder Hess (the secretary) and
worked there until about 6:30pm and then I went to the sector and worked and
the people there were a little better!!! We found a guy who was loaded rich and
had a huge house and a ton of cars and he came out and talked to us and it was
crazy because the guy was really smart but he was really against God and he tried
to explain why and then we tried to explain why yes and it sucked because
nothing happened, but we just ended up leaving and nothing happened. And then
in another house we met a little old lady and you know that they are always my
weak spot and I talked with her and she told as that she wanted us to come back
and then while we were talking to her, her daughter showed up and she also said
she wanted us to come back and meet her family and yeah it was cool and then we
went back in a bus that we found that drops us off pretty close to the
house!!!!
Saturday: Well that’s today and well we got up early and studied
and then we went to the President’s house and he took us to go play tennis and
he is really good and I suck at it!!! I think because it is because I just felt
like the only man there!!!! All the other tennis player seemed sooooo gay to
me!! Even the manly guys seemed gay doing it! I couldn’t take it seriously! But
yeah when that ended we went and bought food and then we ate it and then came
here to the office to write and now I’m still here writing!!!!!!
