Week 10: Zone Conference

Monday-we woke up and went to stores to buy food, boots, and watches. After we cleaned our house and then got to write everyone. After we had divisions, just for the night, because my companion and I had two appts at the same time. So I went with E. Norales again, I love him, because he knows everything I swear! But he taught me some new things and I just talked to him about my companion and other things. It was nice, we got a lot of stuff done. Then I came back to my companion and that was the day.

Tuesday-we woke up today and we had our study time, then we went to harvest the field, and we went on a long walk up a huge mountain and my companion always says he can out run me, and that won´t happen. Anyways walking up the mountain and my companion was dying, but we met this family, that believes in God, but does not have a church. It was perfect, but they don't have cell phones, so we can't contact them, and have to risk walking all the way out there, it is like 6 miles out and back. Then we had a big family home evening with the bishop´s family and Erick, our investigator, and his fiance. It was so good for him, we will probably invite him to be baptized this week! Which is awesome!!

Wednesday-Today we had our study time, then we had a Multi Zone conference and it lasted like 6 hours. But all the zones in HueHue and from Quiche all came together. Our president talked to us, and taught us new instruction, and his assistants. After we had cake and lunch. We then got our packages from our parents and we picked up a bunch of things. Later we went and visited some families for the rest of the evening. When we came back to the house, we invited the young men's President and his brother over for pizza, tiki, and uno! It was really fun to get to talk to them and hang with them.

Thursday-so I found out that my district leader's companion is done and going home, so we are going to be in a trio, and get to go to Xela for the day and then come back and live with our leader for 2 weeks. Anyways we woke up and walked these two pitbulls that our are owners dogs, it was kind of scary because they are huge and to hold them back from killing other dogs, was using our whole body haha. We then took our laundry, and after we visited with some investigators and families then we got a call from our President, saying that my companion is new district leader of our district and our old leader is going to Xela, so we won't be living with him anymore and I have to help my companion with being leader, haha. We then picked our laundry up and came back to our house.

Friday-we got up and had our study time. We then had lunch at this sister's house, after she showed us her dog and it legit looked like a bear!! It was huge!! We then visited families for the rest of the night and our last visit, was with Erick. We read the BofM with him, and we explained that we need to pray and how he can help us. You could feel the spirit really strong, we then invited him to be baptized but he said not right now and that he needs to think about it, but said he would sometime. So not the best answer but I really hope he will accept later. Overall it was a really good day.   

Saturday-Today we had breakfast with the people above us, she makes really good food!! We then had our study time, then we went to this bishop's house for lunch and his wife made us really good stew, after we started our fast for tomorrow. Later we went to go visit families but none were home. We then celebrated Dafne´s 9th birthday, she lives above us and we had cake and ice cream, but we couldn't have any haha. That was hard, we then tried to visit more families and got into one, we shared a quick scripture and then we came back to the house above and the little girls wanted to show us an experiment, it was really cool!

Sunday-We had church this morning and we couldn't shower because the water wasn't working! But we went and guess who showed up - Erick!- our investigator and he has never been before, after sacrament meeting we met with him and had our own little class, we taught him the basics of sacrament. We then had lunch at Hermana Rio´s house and she made us some really good stir fry. After we visited with families and the family above us we talked for awhile, and it was so nice to talk with them and teach them!

Overall this week has been way better!!One thing about HueHue is that they make juices or drinks from fruits and is not blended all the way but it is so good!! My Spanish is improving, but I wish it would just come faster but it's little by little. I understand a lot, but speaking is hard. I hope all of you are doing well, I love all of you and miss you!!
