So starting on Monday we went to a place called Cura Brochero,
which is a little city outside of Villa Dolores and it is totally beautiful! We came here because our president of the
branch (who is freaking awesome) invited us to do service and we didn’t know
what we were going to do!! So we got there and holy freaking crap we spent 7
hours digging out huge trees by hand for the new house they are building!! So
that was literally our entire day this Monday so that was pretty fun!! So
Wednesday was a pretty crazy day in all honesty. All day, we went out and tried to visit the
people that we had planned and we were outside all day long. Like wow it was a
long day, and we got nothing! It was a really big test of faith and it was
really tough for both of us. That night
I had a really long talk with the guy upstairs asking for help because we
needed it and well Thursday it worked!
So in this area and all the time before me, the elders in
general didn’t go out and work in the morning because they never ever had any
type of success in the morning. Since I’ve
gotten here, we’ve been going out every morning trusting in God that the
blessings WILL come and they totally did! We went out at 10 and went and had 2
amazing lessons with 2 new investigators that we now have to teach! Their names
are Maria who is 63 and she is really really nice and her husband and kids died
a little while back so she is really looking for some direction in her life! We’re
trying to help her with that. Then we
went to Soledad who is a lady that’s 25 and has a kid with adhd . She’s having
a really tough time with him! Apparently at night the kid sees a man standing
next to his bed and there’s a lot of weird stuff that happens in the house at
night..... We’re gonna go and bless the house this week and really be careful
when we go and teach her. Then that night we went and visited some more
investigators which was obviously pretty fun!!! Friday, we found that snake so
we’re pretty freaking worried about that. We’re gonna visit her on Thursday so
lets hope that all goes good haha!! Saturday was the night the girl asked
me if we wanted to have a relationship..... that was one of the most
uncomfortable things ever like what the heck.. but hey I told her no, so we’re
gonna be okay! On Sunday the girl keeps texting us and trying to ask how we’re
doing. She doesn’t realize that we don’t
really do that a whole lot. Only members really understand that to its fullness,
so she kept asking me what I was doing, how I was doing and lots of other
interesting things without any response! Church was great. We had conference
and I was really happy to be in conference, and then after we ward council.
So we went to presidents house on Sunday night and
stayed the night in his hotel and in the morning we got up and worked pulling
out trees and working our freaking butts off like oh my gosh you have no idea!
Love, Elder Jones!!(:
Here's a pic of me at 4 in the morning after being on the bus all night for transfers. No one wakes up here til 5 and there is nowhere to sleep. Only one more bus ride for 4 hours.
