Que tal amiguitos!!?
December is already half way over.... WHAT thats not
ok haha. Its been flying! I hope everyone is enjoying the season and
loving and giving a little bit more!
This week
was very similar to the last. Almost every day, we went to a different
zone in the mission to their activities for the light the world
initiative! Every activity went super well! I got to participate in a
lot of them too on the piano. Most of the activities were in the centers
of the towns singing hymns and showing videos and giving out donated
clothes, refreshments. But there were also a few activities in hospitals
and orphanages that were super fun! The last activity we went to was in
Mixquiahuala which is anyone remembers thats where I was born!!! That
was my very first area and it was SOOOO FUN to go back to and see a lot
of the members there. I would not be mad if I ended my mission there
since I only had one transfer there. After the activity in the park of
Mixqui, we went to go visit Elder Lozano who is an area Seventy!! When I
was in Mixqui Elder Lozano was still Stake President and we ate with
him like once a week. He always gave us free milk every week and also
Santa Clara ice cream which is basically like Coldstone. I love that man
so much... He was the only who had a crazy experience of being in jail
for a couple years on false charges. He ended up helping a lot of
inmates in his time there. He is a very kind and hard working man. And
now he is an area seventy! So it was super fun to go back to their house
and talk with him and his wife, and president Maldonado and his wife! I
love this new assignment haha.
Yesterday was
completely dedicated to buying everything for the four new houses we're
going to open this next transfer. There are changes this monday
already!! It flew by. Since there are 14 coming in and only 7
missionaries leaving, we have to open new areas which means finding new
houses! So weve been having missionaries look around for houses for rent
and we had to go buy everything that was going to go in them! So we
went to city club, walmart, home depot, and other places with President,
my comp, and a helper named hermano Moron (You dont pronounce it like
the "moron" you might be thinking of hahah). It was quite the job to buy
and transport more than 15 mattresses, chairs, tables, dressers, beds,
etc.... We spent more than 30,000 pesos on everything and it was barely a
dent on what the rest of the mission is missing in their houses!
Today
in the afternoon we are going to go over to presidents house and help
him with the transfers! Im curious to see how it goes. Ive heard that
its a pretty spiritual experience to be there when he makes all the
decisions. Im excited to see another group of new missionaries on
monday!
Sadly I didnt have much time to study
this week. Weve been getting home around 11:30 every night and we have
to get to the offices super early but I hope everyone has been following
the service prompts from light the world and finding other ways to make
this season special. I love you all!
