I was super sick allll week!!! But the bad part is that being
the assistant it does not matter at all if I am sick I still have to train and
take care of everything!!!!! I freaking hate it because I am a wimp about being
sick!! But oh well at the same time I feel good doing hard things!!! It was a
pretty normal week though!
Saturday: I was in Coca which is the jungle! But really it is a
pretty lame jungle compared to Pucalpa or Tarapoto! but it was nice to get some
sun! i trained for about 5 hours by myself because we only go out there every 3
months and the president only ever takes 1 of us out at a time. and then at
night we went to a baptism which was pretty cool!!!! and then we went to the
hotel and slept! It’s funny to stay with the president because we all see him
like this super hero for us and then when you stay with him and you see him in
his normal life it just makes you realize that he is just a normal guy like
us!!
Sunday: well we went to church and then went straight to the
airport to go back to quito and got there about 7 pm and then worked with my comp
in our sector until 9 but I started feeling kind of sick so I just went
straight to bed after.
Monday: we had a normal monday but the only real problem is that
we had to get ready for the mission council the next day and my comp had not
done anything for it while I was gone so we ended up staying there until about
1:30 Am to finish which sucked but oh well!
Tuesday: we had the mission council with all the zone leaders
and sister leaders and well it went really good!!! we trained about AMMONITAS which
is just something we made up! It’s like a visit to the missionaries in the
morning to see if they get up on time and to make sure they study well enough!
and yeah it went really well! We finished at about 7 pm and then went straight
to the offices to get ready to train the next day in the interviews and left at
about 9:30 pm to the house and I was still sick and so I crashed!!!!
Wednesday: we had interviews in QUITO WEST ZONE and it was good!
We did it pretty fast and we trained well! Well I trained well! I had to train
alone because my comp had to look at all the aria books which is something that
sister Richardson usually does but she wasn’t there this week! and then after
that we finished at about 7 pm and went to the offices to get ready for our
visits the next day!
Thursday: we left at about 6:00 am to go visit some missionaries
in a few zones and well it was cool because we got there and they were still
getting ready and they did not expect us at all!!!! and yeah I studied with
them and it was a good time to be able to talk and teach them about studying
and stuff!! Who would of thought that I might ever teach someone how to study
the scriptures!! Pretty cool right!?
Crazy. but yeah then we went to the mini conference
of the Ofelia zone and yeah it was pretty normal!!!! and then we go back to the
offices at about 3:30 pm and talked to the PTE. and then got ready for the
training on Friday and then went to work in our sector we had a visit with Jorge
the one who is going to be baptized really soon and well he also wants to go to
see the temple this next week which will be super cool!!! I’m pumped!!!!
Friday: we had interviews with the Calderón Zone and yeah that
went until late and we had time to just do one leccion in our sector!!! we went
to a family that the sisters had been teaching before and they told us that
they where almost baptized but then all these really bad things happened to
their family like people started to die and the whole house was robbed! and
yeah they said they will NEVER let missionaries into there house again because
of the bad things that happened to them and they don’t want anything to do with
us, so that was kind of sad. Then we
went and found a less active family and that was also pretty sad!! They said
unless the church started to give them money again they would never come back
to church!!! I guess for like a long time they where on welfare in the church
and the church cut them off because they didn’t even try to find a job and yeah
that just sucks!!!! I HATE when people do only What they HAVE to and won’t
try. They just wait for their problems
to be fixed for them!!!!! haha i mean there are for sure times when people need
help, which is why church welfare is good, but just not trying AT ALL makes me
crazy!!!!!
Saturday: well that’s today!!!! hahahaa and we went to the
middle the world! It’s really cool!!!!! haha I took a bunch of pictures!!!!
haha and then we eat CUY!!!! They are Ginny pigs!!!! It was not really very
good but I did eat it!!! Also my President told me that I need to get new shoes
because my shoes are so bad, and he said that my brown ones were too light
colored, so I found someone to paint them black for me so that’s sweet! Haha
Sorry I probably sound negative I am suuuuch a wus about being
sick! But I feel better today! Haha I am doing pretty dang good overall except
I miss home when I think about it! Haha But I am happy here.
