Week 80 Office

Happy Saturday!

We had another great week!  We actually had a lot of weird stuff happen this week.  I'll have to write about a few of those adventures haha.  This P-day we played some basquetbol and some soccer.  That was pretty sweet, gotta love a good four on four.  After I get my hair cut we are gonna go and eat and then are gonna go to the mall del sur to go wander for a bit. After that we are gonna go to the office to watch Narnia 2 because last week we watched the first one haha.

One of our little adventurecitos was doing some room inspections in San Gabriel and San Juan.  My companion is the guy that inspects rooms in some of these zones every once in a while and I get to come with him.  It was kinda wierd inspecting one of my old areas, we got to inspect Miguel Grau II haha.  It's been a while since I've been to that side of town.  Word on the street is that San Gabriel and San Juan are gonna get transferred to the new mission, I think that's why we went in the first place.  It was pretty fun.

We've been slowly towing this place out of a hole haha, after finally getting used to my work here I can start to focus more on our investigators and their needs.  Right when that little hand hits 5 I'm ready to go out and teach.  Lately I've been just putting in 100% and it's a lot better that way.  We have been hitting parks lately and just contacting everything that moves, that's been pretty successful actually!  We still have Gladis slowly progressing.  We are still working to get her to be baptized.  She is loving her experience at the church, our only worry is that she was seated next to someone who was joking with his buddy the entire time haha.  We did get some success this week, we found a new investigator, now we just gotta hope him and his family go to church, we are gonna do a follow up visit with them today to see how it goes.

Question time, we really do finally have a normal week.  It's actually wierd, half of it is super poor and the other half is super rich.  The rich side is full of tourists and usually we don't go there because everyone speaks German, English and Portuguese.  It's a huge tourist spot called Barranco.  I didn't get to shake Elder Bednars hand.  I think that's what he was doing there, stopping by for the mission split.  We lose two zones, they are cutting us back.  It used to be an office district in the Chorrillos zone, now we are the office zone.  It's better that way because we were just kinda bonus points for Chorrillos, now we are just here.  We actually do use the come and see and come and help videos, they are pretty cool.

Thanks for reading my note, I love you all and pray for you!!  Thanks for all of the support!!!
