sup,
we actually basically didn’t work this week, we weren’t
sick or anything (or in jail for kidnapping), we were just working on other
stuff. so the secretaries landlord wanted to raise there already high rent,
which wasn’t gunna fly, so we got to find
a new house and move everything over there.
fun fact, moving is hard without a car. especially when you
are the secretaries, who need a house fitted to hold 12 elders, and is packed
with junk that the old guys leave behind when they head home. so basically we
spent the whole week taking stuff apart and moving it over . we ended up finding a member with a truck
the first day of the week, all the zone leaders were coming
to stay with us, so we moved all the beds that day. they all got there at the
same time we finished, so they all had
to help us put them together. they didn’t actually know how to do it
though, because they didn’t take them
apart, so we had to go around and fix them all when they were done.
friday we had divisions, and i went over to the zone elders
area, and i was thinking that finally i will get to work normal again. first
thing we did was go do service. we helped a woman lower down a big wooden bed
frame down from a third story roof with ropes.... i have a curse.
we didn’t have any extra space, so we had to bring the
washing machine to the assistants. we went to pick up the keys, but the
assistants were out with president, so when we got there, president invited us
to go eat hot chocolate with him. he had chocolate tamales brought out for us
to try, and he asked us if we would like him to order more, ap 1 "no, I’m
good" ap 2 "no, I’m good" secretary goff "nope I’m
good" me "...yup" lesson i have learned in the mission, if
people offer you things, they usually actually mean it. also, if you are a
junior companion at lunch with president and his wife and the assistants and a
secretary ...then
you are allowed to take advantage of the situation. it was a good tamale.
but we got it all done, so... yeah. like i said we don't
really have a lot of lessons this week, but we had good ones. we went to visit
the recent convert that we just baptized and her family, and we brought the
restoration video to watch. they started it in english on accident and so i
started translating as a joke, but turns out that they lost the remote, so they
couldn’t actually change the language, so i just translated all of it. i think
that makes up for last weeks spanish jahaja
today we had transfers, i got sent to san luis potosi in the
city this time as senior companion. my comp is elder P, he has like 6
months in the mission, and we have already gone over the explaining new
companions thing.
well, that’s real all i have for this week. take care, be
good, love you guys.
