CHANGES IN THE SECTOR
February 21, 2018
Wow, where do I start with this week?
Things have been changing a lot in the sector. Really, there was just a shift of focus from some older investigators to some younger blood. Our buddy, Anthony, is doing well and wants to get baptized by the 10th of March and we've also been finding more people to teach. The only problem is that everybody leaves for vacations this time of year! Our ward attendance has been cut in half and we've been without our bishop and mission leader for 2 weeks now! XD They're coming back soon, though. And so, lot's of investigators are kinda pausing things and we're working with others now.
We had a good lesson with José and Camila. They weren't progressing too much because of their schedules and they kinda lowered their level of commitment, but we had a good lesson and re-calculated our purpose with them and promised the blessings of baptism and an eternal family. They have lots to overcome (José drinking, Camila smoking) but they said they'd be willing to change.
We also had some tasty Ceviche with them this morning! It's actually quite easy to make and tasty!
Today, we were invited to the home of the older couple that asked for the service we did for their family members. It was basically cleaning a home out that belonged to a "hoarder." There was TONS of random stuff and they were so happy that they invited all the Elders that helped them over for Asado! They have a REALLY nice home (for Chile, that is). We felt like we were in the States. They also had some bomb choripanes. The mayor of San Bernardo even showed up! It was funny because we were all, like, "Who's she?" and someone was said, "That's the mayor" and we were like, "oh..."
So things have been good and my comp and I are having some really cool experiences. We also had interviews with President and he said I'm going to be transferred next month so we'll see where I go! Have a great week everyone!
