Well now that I´ve spent a little more time in my new area I’m starting to like it more and more! The members up here are awesome! And the people are a lot more accepting too.
This week we did a service project for one of the recent converts in the ward. He told us that he needed some help doing cement at his house. One of the rooms in his house just had a dirt floor and wanted to put cement down. When I heard this I was just like man this is gonna be interesting to see how they do it here. And I was right haha we showed up on Wednesday morning and there were two big piles, one of gravel and the other of sand and then a bunch of bags of cement powder, one wheelbarrow and a couple of shovels. What we did was cleared an area where we could put all of the ingredients together and then add water and then we´d shovel it into the wheelbarrow and then go dump it where it was needed. Ha it was quite the process haha. The pad was only about 10´x20´ but I think it took about 3 or 4 hours for us to do it. ha it was actually kinda fun just because it was so different from what I was used to but it made me appreciate what we have in the states to make things like that easier and it made me realize how much I want to get a good education so I don’t have to be doing concrete the rest of my life haha.
This week one of our investigators got done with all of her paperwork so that she could get married so she could be baptized so that was pretty awesome! She was actually a pretty strong catholic but she started having questions about her church and she is dating a member of the church but at the time he was less active. So they were talking about it and he decided to bring her to church and they´ve been coming ever since! It´s so awesome! They´re gonna be married on the 28th and she´ll be baptized on the 1st of March. ha we tried to do it for the 29th since it only comes around every 4 years but she couldn´t do it because she had school or something haha but that´s ok. At least she´s getting baptized!
The work up here is going great! I love my new area and the people here!
Thank you all for your love and support
