I feel like I have just been so tired this week. So it's hard to remember what's been going on. Mainly just office stuff seeing as how we just started a new transfer change. So I've been a little busy right here at the beginning trying to get a lot of stuff done quickly and correctly. But it's fun. It's always a big rush in the first few days, but then everything gets a lot calmer.
I think something that has really worn me out is that we had to go to 2 sessions of church on Sunday. Here in my area, we just had to split 2 wards into 3. So I now work in two wards. Meaning investigators have the potential to come to both wards and we never know, so we have to be there. And this Sunday, we had investigators in both sessions. So we have church from 10-1 and then from 2-5. yea! It makes for a reaaallly long day. But it makes me happy to see the growth of the ward and the progress of the work of the Lord. The goal is to one day have like 5 wards here in Boca del Monte. It started as one, went to two, and now it's three. It's totally possible and I know it'll happen. It'll just take a little while. One ward had the attendance of 110, the other 123, and the other 220. Also, we're about to start construction on the church building to make it bigger.
Elder Hernandez and I are having so much fun together. I feel like I've really refined my sarcastic comments in Spanish, it's awesome. So we go around having a lot of fun and always laughing. Time truly does fly when your having fun. Maybe that's why I feel as though my time here in the office has really gone by so fast. There's always something to do and people tend to be in good moods, not always, but usually. Elder Hernandez is such a buena onda. He just likes to serve other people. It makes it really nice to be his companion ;)
There was a miracle on Sunday. Out of nowhere, a member brought her neighbor to church. A family of three, the dad, mom, and a 9 year old child! yea! I love when things work out like that. If your diligent and obedient, God blesses. You might not know how or when, but He does bless-because He's obligated to do so. But it's a really cool family because their from the mountains but came to live here. So, they don't talk Spanish very well, I love it. Nothing is really feminine or mascule. Words don't end in -a or -o, they end in -e. It's the best. Also, their tone of voice is a lot different so it's interesting. I love talking to people from the mountains.
We just keep chuggin a long out here. Everything is good. I'm safe and healthy. Just needing a nap, but what's new? I'll be home in 8 months. I can't believe time has gone by so fast. The sisters that entered with me go home in 2 months! That makes me feel so old!
Love y'all!
