So this was good, but I don’t remember too much of it. We had
a great mission conference with Elder Godoy of the 70. He is awesome! He talked
a lot about our purpose as missionaries. A l lot about how here in this part of
the world our focus is not less actives or even a lot of recent converts, but
more of just investigators that are progressing....wow! Super different than
what the missionaries were taught before with their old president, so there are
a lot of changes to well, everything in our mission, and I am totally on board
with it. But Elder Godoy is super powerful. He also talked a lot about how the
mission is not a time to find your spouse and for basically the elders to stop
talking with young women in the ward and be super careful with us sister
missionaries...so that was awesome. Basically just common sense. haha. But a
really powerful conference. And then, after, the assistants to the president
told me that Elder Godoy was going to have an interview with me, so that was
great....but really. We talked for literally 5 minutes and it was awesome. He
asked a little about my family, the best thing of my mission, the hardest thing
of my mission and then some counsel. I love how direct he is. We also have
interviews with our president every transfer, and our interview was the same. 5
minutes. So great. jaja.
This week we taught tons of lessons with new investigators, so
that’s way awesome. But no one here is married. We talked to a couple that has
been together for 48 years but faults marriage....what???????? Crazy. But
hopefully we will have a wedding this next month! Followed by a bautismo.
I hope y'all had a great thanksgiving. I hope y'all ate so much
that you couldn't walk after...because that I how I feel every single day after
lunch. My pensionita loves me and hates me...jaja.
As a missionary you really just learn to go with it. Like when
the teacher for society relief or young womens doesn’t come to church
you just teach. Or when you’re sitting in the room of the sacrament and the
bishop announces that you are going to give a 15 minute talk with a devil
smile. You just get up and do it. haha. That happens a lot here, and I am
pretty sure my ward i tired of hearing from me, but they all are so loving and
great. We are really blessed in our ward.
So ya, Have the best week ever. Enjoy Cameron mucho. I LOVE YOU
ALL!
THINK OF ME WHEN YOU use a doorknob....here they don’t have
doorknobs to the house. So you ALWAYS need a key to get in or leave. for all
doors, even bedroom doors. I forgot that doorknobs are a thing. haha.
PICS: THANKS for the Thanksgiving card!
A generation pic with my "mom" (trainer and my trainee
(is that a word?) Everyone calls it that the trainer is the mom and the
trinee is the son or daughter. I don’t really like that, but I like this
picture. haha
And then my signature picture....but with a mango. :)
