Like I've said before, time is a
different thing on the mission. I still feel like it should be the middle of
summer back at home. It`s not that time moves exceptionally fast here, but it
just doesn`t seem to progress when i`m not there. That being said, I can`t
believe it`s almost thanksgiving. The next thing I know, we`ll be skyping on
Christmas.
This week we had a baptism. Her name is
Sonia and she has 3 kids. Just because there have been so many splits in the
past month, she was basically everybody’s investigator. The baptismal service
was classically rough. One of her kids backed out, nobody bringing food showed
up (there were 5 of them) the person giving a talk bailed the night before, and
the husband had to leave town for work. With all that, she and one of her kids
are now members and happier than ever. From what I hear, it`s close to
impossible to have a baptism run smoothly. I wonder why.
Peaches are starting to be in season. Oh
man.
This week has been a lot of work with
church organization. Well, this whole transfer has been but especially this
week. I went on a split earlier this week and we found a giant castle/house.
It`s probably the biggest house in lota. We decided to knock it and the most
crazy, happy, energetic guy came out and now we have another appointment set up
with him today. I`m excited to see where this goes.
I sent some letters, you`ll have to tell
me when you get them, or if you get them.
I also found out that it only costs
about 450 pesos to send a letter to the states which is about dollar. So get
ready for tons of letters coming your way.
That's about it for this week, keep me
updated on holiday-y stuff!
Love you guys
Paul
