April 9, 2012

Wilcommen ist ihr warheit.

     So Monday we finally got together to play sports as a district. It was about time, but it only happened because it was the week of changes. We played soccer, my team lost, then basketball my team won, and Ping Pong. I totally destroyed people in ping pong. I only lost once to Elder Fale, which was luck, and Once to Elder Lamb, who I barely lost to because of his curving the ball techniques. After that I went home to take a shower. The shower head is now broken so I have to take cold showers. My head was so hot that it changed the cold water to warm by the time it reached my body anyways so all ist gut.
     Later that night we had a Family Night with Flia Gehrmann. We taught the organization of the church starting with Jesus, Prophets, Apostles, Seventy, Stake, Ward, Etc. Then they had prepared a bunch of homemade pizza which was actually pretty good.

     Tuesday was changes. Only Elder Dominguez and Elder Lamb left, so it looks like I will be killing Elder Fale. Before the district meeting I was feeling really bad for some reason. I decided to reach Chapter 6 of Preach My Gospel on Christlike Attributes to see how I could better myself. Somewhere between that and when District meeting started all my negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions disappeared. I could remember what I was upset about but it didn´t upset me anymore. I was very grateful that the spirit gave me a Stupor of Thought... Of my negative thoughts. The moral of this story is that if something is wrong you should try looking inside first. If you humble yourself then the Lord will take your weaknesses and make them strong.
     Because we didn´t change we had to do some shopping and then we walked around a lot, but everybody was leaving for "Semana Santa" and we didn´t get many lessons. We did invite this random old guy to get baptized this Saturday and he said "Yes". Probably because he had no idea what we were talking about, but it made me laugh.

     Wednesday Elder Fale turned 21. Wow he is old. I will never be that old. One of the members called to see what happened during changes. We tried to trick him. I said that Elder Fale left to Encarnacion and I got a new companion Elder Israel. He didn´t believe me, so he asked me to introduce him Elder Israel (aka Elder Fale). So I hand Elder Fale the Phone and this is what he said... "Hola Pfff-t-kh". That fake little girl voice plus the last part made me bust up laughing for almost 5 minutes. Good times.
     Later that day we visited a bunch of people, but didn´t get any lessons. We saw Claudia´s baby which is huge and soo cute. We also talked to Jose Carlos whose mom might be possessed. And an Eternal Investigator named Arcenio and his new girlfriend. We walked a lot and it made me tired.

     Thursday Everybody is officially gone for Semana Santa and the people who stayed all hate us. We try doing contacts, but they all tell us to get lost. It´s strange that a bunch of people who are "Remembering" Christ and his life would refuse to hear a message from good willed missionaries. Kinda sucks for them. So really we had no choice, but to visit a bunch of less actives in the rain.

     Friday it got super hot all of a sudden. The clouds completely disappeared. We ate Asado with Blas and Cristina (Inactive Members) and then again with Flia Gehrmann. I was soo full. Unfortunately everywhere we went they gave us food. I wanted to throw up.

     Saturday We walked around a lot again. We went back to the house a lot to take breaks. Fortunately we found a member who recently got back from a trip to go to a lesson with us. President Soliz went with us to visit a few inactive single women members who we normally cannot visit, so that was a blessing.

     Sunday when we went to church Elder Wistensen was there. I did divisions with him in Coronel Oviedo once. Elder Henrie from my group left, but the funny thing is Elder Henrie trained Elder Wistensen. What a coincidence. I was really happy that Juan Carlos, Alcidez and Mari Paredes Duarte came to church. We didn`t even visit them they went on their own. Yay we are activating people! That was the day.

LEIBT,
Elder Zachary James Singson
