well
this week was good, but i don’t really remember what we
did... so i guess I’ll just share some basic stuff.
1. we had an interesting trip to valparaiso this week. usually we go and come
back in 1 day, but it takes a lot of time in the bus, so we decided to go and
stay for 2 days and just sleep in the house that the elders still rent there.
that would have been a good idea, had it not been for the fact that we forgot
our area book in fresnillo two and a half hours away. we don’t actually know
the area there very well, so we couldn’t plan for the next day, and we had to
come home the next morning. in the night we found out that the light had not
been paid, so we got to make do with candles, but at least there was still hot
water.
2. we managed to get a lot of service in this week, service
is great. the biggest project we had was we got to paint a lady’s house, it was
a good thing that they accepted our offer, because they had no idea what they
were doing, but it turned our pretty well, well... at least it turned out a lot
better than it was before (before and after pictures below.) but the best part
is the effect it had on their family. it was cool to see the difference in
their attitudes when we started and finished. their family has a number of
problems, which i won’t go into, but for a number of reasons there is a lack of
unity in the family. but even though they started out not working together very well, by the end they were all
laughing and playing around and looked more like a family. service is awesome,
go do more of it.
and to finish, person of the week, them. their
son came to church too.
that’s all for now, be good, love you guys
