Hey!!
Well, it sure has been crazy here in the office lately! Last night, we had to come to the office at like 9:15 or so. We didn't get back to the house until 11:30 after hitting up the drive thru at Burger King. Just to wake back up at 6 the next morning. It takes a little bit of a toll, but it's nice to know how important the work I'm doing is.
Yesterday was quite an interesting day. I hope everybody is aware of my situation. I've returned to my first area and my trainer also serves here (even though I'm not directly his companion, we live in the same house). Well, my companion is the 'Office District Leader' even though everybody in the office has been District Leader or Zone Leader before, so it's fun. Anyway, we had to go on divisions with the other companionship, so that would include my trainer. So, what happened? I went with my trainer, Elder Aragon. We went and worked in the area that we worked in before. Talk about unique missionary experiences! It was super strange. Me, with my trainer, in my first area, teaching the gospel. As walking down the streets, we would just remind each other about all the people and the memories. A crazy day that doesn't happen to many others I don't think.
Right now, we've got some super pilas investigators. President Brough says that if, as a district, we baptize 10 people in May, he'll invite us to lunch to some place and eat ribs....It's on!! The strange thing is, that me and my companion alone, have the goal of 10 baptisms for this month of May. Also, it's a tradition that President takes out to lunch the people that will be leaving the office. My companion, Elder Ward, will be leaving the office at the end of May. Looks like President Brough will be taking us out twice! Eating good in the office!
We had an activity with the Relief Society the other day. The two companionships of the ward split up with the old women to go visit less actives and investigators. An interesting activity. I have never walked so slow in my whole mission. Me, a return missionary, and 3 Relief Society ladies hitting up the streets of Boca del Monte to save souls. But hey, it was good to build a relationship between members and missionaries even though it wasn't the most productive activity.
I definitely destroyed a pair of my pants the other day. It was the last appointment of the day, and it had all gone smoothly. The lesson went fine too. At like 8:55, we ended the lesson but then they offered us a little bit of cake and a drink. As missionaries, we don't reject cake. ever. So, we were just eating and chatting a bit with the members and investigators that we had. But there was a four year old kid being a normal four year old. He set his drink on the table, and I didn't think anything of it. Then, he decided to jump on top of the table. He knocked his drink all over my pants! I wasn't worried because we were about to leave and then go straight home to end the day. When we walked through the door that night, the Assistants attacked us. Kind of. They needed to go to the office (this might sound familiar because it was described a little in the first few sentences of the email.) So, we drove them to the office. Upon climbing out of the car, I guess I over extended my leg and just heard a huge ripping sound. Oops, that can't be good! Sure enough, the crotch seam was ripped wide open....How embarrassing. So those pants need to be washed up and sewed up then they'll be good as new. Oh yea, I also need to sew the button back on them.
Va, pues, les vaya bien!
