Well, it’s been a really good week! It’s
like after a million years of drought the rain finally came. We’ve been
visiting a young man who’s been inactive for about 7 years, the last few
months, and yesterday por fin! He came to church. It was the best. We met up on
the corner and walked half a mile to church together and when we got there
everybody greeted him, and those who know him told him they missed and hugged
him. It was awesome. We’d been working so much with him it was wonderful to see
that he was received so cheerfully in the chapel again. And he sat with friends
the whole three hours.
We’ve been finding lots of inactive
members this week, which means lots of work reactivating families. We’ve been
finding new investigators as well.
It was funny, because last week Sunday
was Hermana Terraza’s birthday, and we celebrated it kind of ish. but Andrea (a
member in the branch) had planned a surprise with my comps family. It was supposed
to be for Monday, but she called and canceled on Monday so we moved it to Tuesday.
And Andrea canceled otra ves. And then on Wednesday we went to her house and
she didn’t have anything and we were supposed to be teaching her brothers girlfriend
but nobody was home, and my comp was probably about to throw me out the window
for making her walk like 4 miles to get there from where we were only to cancel
again. And then we went to the chapel for ward council, and Andrea had the
young women’s room all decorated with balloons and pictures from my comps
family, and presents. It was a good surprise, and I’m glad it ended because I’m
pretty sure if we had to reschedule one more time my comp may have eaten me de
verdad. haha. But all is well that ends well and we had a good time.
Also, a spur of the moment
opportunity for Hermana Terrazas to go to the temple with some people from her
last area came up, so I did a division with one of the hermanas in Juande
Salazar in Luque and my comp went to the temple with Hermana Welch. I got to
meet a bunch of cool people and take a break from the routine in our area. It
was fun getting to know Hermana Agilar as well. We had planned to get back to
our area about 8 pm. but they didn’t leave the temple until after 8 and got
back to Luque at 9:30, so we had to stay the night in their house.
Also! Exciting news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not hot anymore!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday
and today it was cool and nice out all day! I haven’t even had to take me sweat
rag out. Its soooo awesome. I think Paraguay wants to be nice to me one last time
before I die haha .
All in all its been a good week and I’m
happy. I hope you all have a wonderful week as well!
con amor, Hermana Minks
p.s.
Sadly, something weird happened with
my sd card, and it only lets me attach the entire folder of pictures which is
wayyyyyyy too big to download in an email. So I’ll be sending pictures in 2
weeks ish.
