The family I read English for is K…. We keep having trouble
finding times when she is home so we have only had two lessons. The food is amazing
here, and the members in this area feed us like crazy. I am always full. But if
there ever is a time that we don’t get fed we just go to a pupusaria where a
pupusa costs a quarter. Yeah we have been doing a lot of looking for
investigators because we are opening the area. And before us were sisters, and
they didn’t have any investigators.
Although this week we went out with the ward mission leader.
He is the weirdest guy haha. He bore his testimony in church saying that he had
a testimony that Russel M. Nielson was a prophet. And in class he had an argument with another
guy about the right way to pass the sacrament. With the hand by the side or behind
the back haha. But so we went out with him, and I guess he knows a lot of people
in the colony, and we got like 4 new investigators, and two dates for baptism.
The dates for baptism are a mom and her daughter, both named S…... They were
supposed to come to church, but there aunt came and need their help in the
city. They are coming next week.
The language is getting easier to understand but there are
still some people who I can’t understand at all. No we haven’t been able to
find another house. We might move in with the other two missionaries in our area.
Today we played soccer with the zone. It was super fun, but
the shoes destroyed my feet. My team won the most games though so it was worth it.
The rain here is crazy. After the first week, it rained every
day since then but two days. I have some pictures of the roads. They are
rivers.
I love when it rains though. But last Pday after I wrote,
when we started working at like 6:30 it started pouring, and no one would let us
in the whole night. So we were drenched, I was wearing my boots at my feet were
drenched. But luckily here I t doesn’t get that cold even though it was night.
It gets dark at 6:30 here. But yeah I use my backpack every day, not my side
bag. But on this day it even got a little water in it even though it is water
proof and I sprayed it with waterproof spray. That’s how wet we were.
It’s crazy how time is flying by.
I had to give a talk in church today. All the missionaries
spoke on missionary work and we macheted
the people, which is missionary terminology for chastising. But the
members are super friendly, but they just want to be friends but not do work,
so we all gave talks on why they need to help. It sucked cause I had to read my
talk but it was still alright.
We should be having a lot of
investigators coming with us to church this Sunday though. Including the
guy who can’t walk and his wife, G….., S……, and the V……… family. All of them
wanted to come this week, but had things going on.
Other than that everything is going good here.
Love Elder Blanchard
