So on Tuesday (Whether in this life or in another I do not know) we went to a rich military guy`s house. He is an investigator... I think. Really he just wants to learn English, but I think we can get him interested about learning the Gospel. They fed us lunch while we were there. They are a great family, but watching them makes me realize that wealth isn`t happiness. They were fighting and arguing about a small problem about their car the whole time we were there. At least you have a car, geez. The guy must be really prideful cuz he named his two sons Sergio, just like him.
On wednesday we found a family to teach. It was going great until the guy said he believes in Saints, like San Miguel Arch Angel, and in the miracles they perform. His belief wasn`t the problem. The problem was that my comp decided to change the topic of the lesson, The Restoration, and bible bash the guy to try and Make Him change his beliefs. There still may be hope, but it will be a lot harder to open up his heart because now he is on the defensive, when before he was open. My comp always pulls crap like that and I always say, lets just get through the lesson and resolve their doubts another day, he agrees with me, but then he just does it again.
Hno Gamba got attacked by a dog. A big dog. The owners just watched as it happened and aren`t helping him. The dog nearly tore out his Achilles tendon and that would have resulted in death, but the owners only got mad and him and said that he just wants them to pay for the hospital bill so he can do nothing all day. People like that upset me. Supposedly they were friends too and that's why the Hno was over there to help them with a project.
Thursday for Plan Guasu all my comp did was complain about the area and the mission and the members, so I planned by myself. Then we ate lunch at the Flia Gomez`s. Unfortunately she was uninformed that the other two Elders would be joining us and she became very grouchy. We discovered an ant infestation in our room. They are coming in through the roof and falling from the ceiling. But Where may I ask? You guessed it, on my bed. Not on Elder Yaringaño`s, but only mine. We sprayed the ceiling with Permitherine and swept up the dead ants.
We went to a guy`s house, Nestor, who has come to church twice now, but we couldn`t teach him because there was a freaking San Miguel day Parade where they went through the streets worshiping and Praying to san miguel and making lots of noise. Ugh. Then at night we taught Sonia Nestor`s ``Girlfriend`` Who has come to church twice as well. It was insane. She was like Sandra Bullock on ``All about Steve``. She would take any one subject we were trying to talk about and then talk about a thousand other somewhat related things. It was super hard and frustrating to teach her. The only good thing about the lesson is she understands her commitment to read and pray and find out if the church is the only true church. She needs to find out soon because we gave her Fecha the 22nd. Did I mention she has dreams about Christ in a garden, so she thinks that she can talk with him in visions? Yeah it`s going to be a tough one.
Friday we went to do service, but somebody had already done it, so we went back home to find MORE ANTS! They are now falling from a different spot in the ceiling. So I sprayed the entire ceiling and now I`m out of Permitherine. To this day dead ants fall onto me bed. It is really hard to sleep at night with that going on. We visited the Sick, a lady named Adela, and she said she can`t continue anymore cause she is too sick. So I told her about the spirit world and that she Has to talk to the missionaries there. She took it really well. She will permit her daughter to go to church though. Then we visited the afflicted Hna Balbuena who suffers from inactive family syndrome. She is worried that she will never have an Eternal Family. Sad day. Then we went to Noche de Rama.
Saturday was Conference we only missed the Priesthood session because it broadcasted at 8pm and it would take us 2 hours to get back from Coronel Olviedo afterwards. We watched conference on the TV at the church. We ate at a restaurant for Lunch and then Lomitos (Burrito things) for dinner, but accomplished nothing because my comp ``Gives up``.
Sunday we watched the conference and Raquel came and sat down right next to me and because my comp was sitting behind us we were the only ones on that row and the 5 rows in front of us. The people that came to watch from Paso Jovai looked at us like we were boyfriend girlfriend. How embarrassing. My comp is supposed to protect me from snakes not sit behind me and watch them pray on me. Dang it. She really wants me, that has never happened before. I`m not why she likes me either, I don`t even really talk to her and we only see her on sunday. How annoying. Because my comp won`t plan with me then won`t follow the plans I made we get nothing accomplished. It sucks.
Well I`m sorry I complain a lot, but I hate ants falling on my bed when I`m trying to sleep.
Ta ta,
Elder Zachary James Singson
