HOLA FAMILIA!!!
Sounds like the family had another super
successful Garage sale. Really, El Salvador is just a giant garage sale.
I know if mom were to come here to El Salvador she would absolutely
love it. I have learned a lot how to barter. I bargained with a lady for
a 20 dollar hammock the other day and got it for 12 dollars. I was so
excited. I have been sleeping in a hammock for the past month now at least.
This week though was a difficult week though. Things were getting
better in our area by a little, but the zone is doing way good. I am
really liking the missionaries that I get to work with and we saw a lot
of great miracles. My area though was struggling and we have a lot of
members that are sleepers. One day everything we had fell through and 2
of our most positive investigators decided that they don't want to
listen to us. It was a bad day and I felt terrible after.
We decided after that we had to do something huge this week and we
decided to do a big activity and do a family night and invite everyone
for games and piñatas. We invited a ton of people and told the members
to invite a ton. It was frustrating cause the day before we went to all
of the members and they all told us they had forgotten to invite their
friends. It sucked. It got to the day and all of the sudden a flock of
people came. We had for sure at least 150 people there. We all went to
the basketball court and played some games. We played a really sweet
game where you have a bucket with a quarter on the bottom and fill the
bucket with like 2 inches of flour. Then the team gets into a line and
you have to get out the quarter without using your hands. You go one by
one blowing the flour out until you can take out the quarter with your
mouth. It was so much fun and everyone loved the game. I had flour all
over my face by the end. It went super well. The piñatas were super
crazy like always also. It was great after such a terrible day the day
before.
The next day in church went a family we have been teaching the family
Lemus. They are awesome and I was so happy to see them. We went last
night to talk to them and they were super excited. They now have the
goal to be baptized this 29th of July. i am so excited for them. It was
great after how bad of a day we had this week.
We also found a super rich family that is probably the family most
positive I have ever found. They were awesome and had such great
questions. I am excited to see what will happen with them.
Well It
turned out to be a good week. Say hi to chase for me. That is crazy he
gets home this week. Love you all and talk to you next week.
