Monday after we passed by Miguel, who wasn´t home, we decided
to explore the area. Later after looking at the map we discovered that
we had done at least half of our contacts in Villa Anita. Looks like
we´ll be giving them a lot of references tomorrow. On Tuesday we went to
have interviews in the office with Pdte Agazzani. 3.5 hours for a 10
minute talk. He didn´t even try to get to know me. All he said was "You
have little time left. If you want to end your mission with more
baptisms you need to do this..." I´m not offended or anything, but I
thought it was a waste of time for information that I already know and
have been doing. At least we got to eat at McDonalds afterwards. Then
when we went to visit Miguel we discovered more good news. His wife
bought him glasses! Now he can read! Yay! He wasn´t home, but we gave
her a pamphlet so that he could read it, ha ha. ;P
Wednesday I finally got my Birthday package.
Our lunch appointment fell, so then I ate a bunch of candy. Bad
decision. It made me feel bad later. The candy disappeared before
Saturday. On Thursday during Noche de Barrio I handed out all the
Warheads and watched all their silly reactions. That is true fun. I wish
I could have recorded it all. I laughed until it hurt. Carlos Ledezma, a
member that we usually leave with to teach, got mugged and now doesn´t
have a cell phone. It was in the middle of the city, so now I´m never
going to bring valuables around at night.
Friday they cut down the giant mango tree in
front of the capilla. We had nothing to do, so we walked around Capilla
Del Monte (A place where there is only 1 house on each block and a
forest in between each). Surprisingly there are a lot of members who
live there so we made a bunch of appointments for Saturday. Then on
Saturday we had to sacrifice some of those appointments so that we could
teach Miguel and have "Mission Correlacion". When we taught Miguel he
asked us to move his fecha back more because he doesn´t understand
anything yet. That was the plan becuase he really isn´t ready, but I was
kinda surprised he remebered his baptismal date. He really does want to
get baptized.
Sunday Miguel came to church by himself again.
Yay! I gave a talk about the importance of Members doing Missionary
work. They all "paid attention", but I don´t think they "Paid
Comprehension". It´s hard to apply what you learn if you are hearing,
but not listening. Then after church we taught Miguel and we finally got
him to say an entire prayer by himself. It took much patience and
rephrasing to get him to understand. Did I mention about how happy I was
that he has glasses? Yay! One of the recent converts who Elder Ackerman
baptized isn´t coming to church anymore. We talked to Carlos about why
and he said that Church is Boring and he says he doesn´t like me because
I don´t talk to him or something. When we taught him I talked the
entire time! I don´t get it. We will have to work with him this week.
This week was kinda slow, so that´s all I got.
Love Ya!
Elder Zachary James Singson
