Well, changes came and went and E. Sulcaray and I still together. 3
transfers with the same comp! But its all good because we work good together and
we are good friends. We are getting a lot of greenies in the zone this transfer,
(they come in on wed) so yeah it´ll be fun with a bunch of newbies. And all the
elders who are training it will be their first time training so as ZL we have a
lot of work to do to make sure that they are all do the job well. But I think it
is good for the zone because we just had 2 missionaries that ended the mission
(aka trunky haha) so we got some new blood in the zone now.
This week was kinda weird. I was sick for some of it and felt great for
another part of it so idk. We got to work some and found some cool people that
have some potential. We started contacted a lady in the street on Saturday
morning but like 15 seconds after we contacted her, her bus came so she took off
in that. Later on in the day we ran into her again and she gave us her direction
and asked us to pass by the next day. So obviously the next day we showed up at
her door (she lives at the very tippity top of the biggest hill that we
have...but of course) and she recieved us very well and she told us "I know you
kids have been sent from God to help me...why else would he have had you find me
once again?" Sweet! She is a single mom who has a 19 year old girl and a 3 year
old boy that live with her and a son who is married already. So hopefully we
will get some results of that.
This Sunday was absolutely crazy at church. Like wow. We got there 5
minutes early and come to find out that the Bishop is at the hospital with his
wife who had an emergency surgery, and that the 1st and 2nd counselor couldnt
come. So we arrive and there are 2 Melchizedek priesthood holders running around
trying to get the sacrament set up and the microphone in place and everything.
But there wasnt anybody there to preside! Agh! Finally about 15 min late the EQP
shows up and we could finally start the meeting. Whew.. Disaster (mostly)
avoided. haha
Lets see what else happened this week. Oh yeah so another fun story. Our
pensionist forgot to pay the phone bill this week so we were without a line.
Well kinda, we couldnt make calls but we could receive them. Anyways that
presented a problem because yesterday the asistents called us to inform us about
the transfers and then we have to call everybody up to make sure that they know.
So yeah, we came up with a brilliant plan that the pensionists son could just
let us use his cell phone, and it would have been such a great idea except that
he didnt have any more minutes left! argh! so we ran out at like 9:30 at night
trying to see if there was some place to recharge his phone with minutes. Nobody
has credit to do the recharge! So we went the RS president because she always
has minutes, and thankfully she was able to let us use her phone, so we go
hauling back to the room to pass indicators (I have know idea how you spell
indicadores in english haha) and our 2 DL are calling to get the numbers passed
and it was a total mess but we got the numbers passed and then we had to wait
for transfers. They actually called us earlier than normal (aka 11:30 pm and not
1:30 am) so that was good and then we just had the normal craziness of all the
transfers.
Anyways so craziness as usual for us but hey thats ZL life. NUTS!!!!
haha
Love ya
