Hey Guys! This week
has been a really good week for me!! We had transfers this week and I’ll be
staying here for another transfer! That’s definitely a little bit frightening,
but also a time of excitement and lots and lots of plans!!
So this last
week we had Elder Cota in Cordoba again until Thursday which is always not fun
at all!! He got back Thursday evening with me! That day we decided to do a huge
planning session for basically the entire transfer that we would be spending
together!! We made goals for the entire transfer and broke it down to weekly
goals and daily goals, to see what we would need to get those goals!! Then made
plans to reach them!! We’re super pumped with all of the plans that we have to
be better missionaries and I’m excited to be with him for another transfer!! Then
we finished around 10:30 with all of the planning and goal setting and hit the
sack!! We woke up the next day and studied for a while then had a dopppee day!!
We went out and found people in the Cadelagos barrio, then had lunch with him
and stayed the ciesta in his house. At 4 o’clock when people get up, we went
out to Los Olivos to find some more people and visit people that we hadn’t
visited in a while!! That was really fun and I saw some people I hadn’t seen in
a while!! We ended in the pension at 10 and talked about the day, did abs,
showered and passed out sooo fast!!
Next day we
woke up and had lunch in a far-away little city. We found all of the less actives
in the ward list there and headed out at 10 after the usual studies!! We went
walking which SUCKED! We need to pump up our bikes gosh dang it haha. They get unpumped way too fast!! That morning
we found a really cool kid named Jonathan who is catholic and wanted to know
more about Jose Smith! Then we ended up looking for a part member family for
the next hour before lunch started which was definitely pretty annoying and we
never ended up finding them! Then we had lunch with the Cordero family which
was SOOOO good (see pictures below) and hung out with them and taught them
until the ciesta was over and then went out and went hard on the area!! We
ended up at the end of the day having found 12 new people to teach and having
taught 11 lessons!! And one of those is a little girl who is part of a family
that aren’t all members!! At the end of the lesson with them she said to us
"hey elders can you guys teach me so I can get baptized? I almost got
baptized a while ago but the elders left. YESSS haha! It was a hard- working day and
again at night we passed out REAL fast and got up for church the next day.
Church was good
as always and I did not have a talk ready, but yes I did have to give a talk! So
I gave the talk it was fine. I guess I don’t like being unprepared at all it
sucks! Then after church, our friend from the United States invited us over for
lunch in Merlo!! It was SOOOOO GOOOOD! We made a huge asado and oh man I loved
that food so much! It’s the best I’ve eaten in a long time!! This guy is
freaking rich so his house made me feel like really at home. With a nice table
using forks and spoons and talking about adulty things, I don’t know it was
different!
We stayed in Merlo so
that man wouldn’t be alone and we’re heading back today at 2 o’clock so it was a
good pday!! I love all you guys so much and hope your all having a great
week!!
Elder Jones
