Week #50 - Pigeons and Puddles (Cerro Verde)

Hola familia y amigos!

Well this week was another slow week. We have been trying to help Santana to get baptized and this entire week was spent trying to find her and teach her but with no luck. Because it was the end of the month, our leaders wanted us to just baptize her and worry about teaching her the rest later and we both thought that was really stupid. We couldn’t find her anyways so it didn’t matter, but she isn’t very open and hasn’t been showing that much progress, even though she goes to church. Also a lot of members don’t like her for some weird reason so it’s just been a mess, so we don’t know if/when we will baptize her, but I think eventually we will.

This week two kids who are the niece and nephew of a member went to church and said they wanted to be baptized, so we just have to get permission from their mom to baptize them and it’ll be good to go. This week was slow for teaching but we have been contacting a bunch lately. and We leave appointments to come back, and the people are not there or they say another day, so it’s been kind of hard dealing with that. We have been teaching other people that could get baptized, but they just have to go to church and a lot of them already know members so it shouldn’t be too hard for them to go. This next week we want to contact more and try to get more references but we'll see what will happen.

Well yesterday it rained super hard! All the streets were flooded and there were rivers everywhere! We got soaked and my shoes were done at the end of the day and it was pretty cold yesterday from all the rain. The craziest thing that happened this week though was when we got home one night after working. That day it had rained a bit, but not too much, and we get home and the first thing that I notice is that there is poop on my suits in the closet. I thought it was from geckos in the house but when I looked up a pigeon flew right out of my clothes! It scared the crap out of me and my comp and we spent a good ten minutes trying to get it out of the house. It was crazy! We took a video and its pretty funny haha! Well this week should be my last full week in this area and we want to make it a good one! Elder Anderson is awesome and I love the work!

Tengan una feliz semana!
