Well this was another pretty good week down here! it was
another hot week haha but it was good!
We did a lot of service this week which was fun. They had a ward service project on Thursday which we went and participated in. We helped clean up the grounds around the Health Center in our area and then we also painted a couple of the rooms. Ha the plan was to have everyone there by 8 in the morning, ha I think if we would have said by 6 or 7 people would have shown up on time. Elder Oliva and I showed up a few minutes after 8 and we were the only ones there for about a half an hour when one of the sisters in the ward arrived. and slowly but surely the rest of the ward started trickling in haha but I think the majority of them showed up around 930 or 10. It was still fun though ha we were outside raking up the leaves and there was a group of kids from the age of 3 to about 12 going around picking up the piles. They were quite the team ha as the moved from pile to pile and the garbage bag got bigger and bigger the it took all of them to carry it around. it was cool to see them working together.
The other day we received a reference of a less active family who wanted us to go over and talk with them. Well we followed the directions we were given and we came to a house which wasn´t the right house. (they don´t really have addresses here so it´s kind of a guessing game) but soon after talking with the people who lived in the house we realized how much they needed to hear the message we had in that moment. The mom started talking about how a couple of years ago this week one of her sons died but she thought that there was no life after death. So we started teaching her and one of her other sons about the Plan of Salvation and it answered a lot of their questions. it was way cool and we´re going back there this week to teach them more!
This week is another week full of service, ha I think we have service projects planned everyday this week. should be fun!
