AS FOR LAST WEEK, IT WAS BETTER THAN THE ONE BEFORE, BUT STILL NOT WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE.

hey mom

i cant believe another week has gone by. its wierd to think i am pretty much 3/4 way done with the mission. i am just awestruck. today was a long pday. we had the toilet clogged by elder w, then elder h used the toilet, and then i also used the bathroom, but neither elder h nor i realized it until after i had finished. so we spent most of the day with the bathroom because we have no plunger and it was the siesta and nothing was open. safe to say, i hate the siesta. and we now have over a hundred flies in our house. you would not be happy mom, jaja. i got the package as well. i used the gravy today. elder h and i made mashed potatoes with gravy and slow cooked some meat in the oven. it turned out super delicious! thank you soo much!

as for last week, it was better than the one before, but still not where we want it to be. we found three new investigators. still short of at least two newbies a day. but we are getting better. we didnt do divisiones with the zone leaders because we are out of money and havent received any for quite a while, so traveling was out of the question. we might do divisions this week. but who knows. service with the hermana was great the other week, she had just asked us to help her. we did more service this week as well. we dug a huge hole for a recent convert family who is building a house. they needed a hole dug for the sewage system. i am not exactly sure how it works, but it had to be about 2 meters deep and 1 and a half meters wide. it was not easy. we had set a bunch of citas this week, but nothing really super solid. we found one person who is the neighbor of h. he is older and runs a kiosko out of his house. he understood most of what we said, which surprised me, given his age. we are going back tomorrow to see if he had read and prayed. so we shall see what happens. we talked one night with a super evangelical man named o. during the lesson, which we pretty much couldnt teach because he talked the whole time, he pointed to me and said, i want to hear what you have to say. i started to speak and he cut me off and went off again. then afterwards he started telling me, not elder h but just me, to go and find God. it was kind of awkward. then at the end, i said the prayer before leaving, and he stood up with us to send us off, and he asked to say one himself. he then placed his hands on our heads and started to pray, shaking us while he prayed. when he finished, he pushed our heads back with an AMEN! and i was trying hard to just not freak out and laugh. so we walked out and just were in awe with what took place. i think he thought i was full of demons. but who knows, he was for sure a little tipsy from some drinking, and had bloodshot eyes. i shall not judge him though. well mom, that is all i have for you, next week, i am sure we will try to figure out what we will do for mothers day. i love you!

love elder jones
