Because of the great amount of Zone Leaders going home this and next change I thought that I would become a zone leader soon. Not really what I want but I was expecting it. Just barely President Callan wrote me and said that I would probably be in Villarrica for a while. I don`t like that. It`s not like I don`t like it here, or my companion or anything, but there are a TON of Snakey teenage girls and attractive at that. We even have a few progressing investigators that are single girls. It`s not like I`m tempted or anything, but I just don`t like this type of situation. When I`m not in the service of God the girls could care less, but now when I don`t want any attention from girls they are all over me. It sucks.
Anyways on monday I got a haircut. The lady had no idea what she was doing. It was like she had never cut guy`s hair before. When I got home I had to go to the mirror and fix it. It turned out good, but I just think it was kind of dumb. Tuesday I had the great fortune of actually going to a district meeting. It`s been a while. 21 guaranis round trip though. We have hermanas in our district and rumor has it that we will also get hermanas in Villarrica. We taught two not so good lessons and one really good one. One was to Nestor who understood the concept of Authority and when we invited him to get baptized he asked `because you are the only ones who have the authority?` When we said yes he got up and started to walk away. The other not so good lesson was to a lady who is ``Too Old to change her religion``. I just want to say THIS ISN`T POLOTICS! But we did get to teach Francisco Leva who understood everything and even accepted Fecha. So that made me happy. Francisco is really awesome.
Wednesday I had to endure Elder Yaringaño dominating every lesson and going off topic and taking an hour and etc. I tried telling him how he needs to improve his teaching method but he doesn`t take my advice. He thinks his way is better. We ate lunch at the Flia Mercado`s house. They had the animated Book of Mormon stories on DVD and we watched that while we ate. It was cool. We always eat with the other Elders.
Plan Guasu on Thursday is always slow going with no investigators. We ate Lunch at the Flia Gomez. We arrived late because my comp is really slow at doing everything, but especially when he goes to the bathroom. We talked to a recent convert Miriam de Silvero for an hour outside of her house. She doesn't have a testimony of the Book of Mormon or the Prophet Joseph Smith. Basically she was just convinced to get baptized. We want to help her, but she doesn't like to read she just wants everything explained to her.
Friday morning I did morning exercise for the first time in who knows how long. We went to the lake and ran. I found out why the door bell at the Hospedaje rings so much. I was told by a catholic lady that instead of teaching her we need to help some prostitutes that live near by. Well I just think she wants us dead because the Prostitutes have killed people for money before. Nobody came to Mutual and we made 3 packs of brownies, so I ate them all Ha ha ha ha!
Saturday it rained so it was a really uneventful day. Sunday we had a investigator come to church for the first time since I've had a baptism. Her name is Raquel and the funny thing is we haven`t even taught her yet. Her only connection to the church is that her brother in law is a member. But she really liked it. She`s never been baptized before and she says she really likes the church so I hope she gets a testimony of the Book of Mormon really quick. Not a lot of people came to church because of the rain, so I was embarrassed by her comment ``There aren't a lot of you here are there?``. They also made me play the piano and I sucked it up super bad. It was even the simplified version. The lady conducted was too fast for me to keep up, and nobody can sing worth their lives. How embarrassing.
Well that was my week,
Elder Zachary James Singson
