It´s been an awesome week here!. We had an interexchange with our zone leaders and I learned a couple ways I can improve. We´ve been applying that in our sector and having success in that! One thing we´ve been improving on is just talking with everybody. I personally don´t like knocking on doors a whole lot, but when we see someone on the side of the street or in their window we just stop and talk to them and invite them to church.
Sometimes a missionary all of the elements combine against you at the most important time. This sunday in the morning my companion woke up super sick, it was raining super hard. Also, as a missionary, it sucks when there is a national holiday on a Sunday! This sunday was voting day, in which nobody has to work. That meant that EVERYBODY would want to sleep in and stay home all day. My companion decided he wanted to be a trooper and decided to tough through his sickeness until after church. We got out the umbrellas and went to go see who we could get to church. As we went to go bring them to church they used the excuse "It´s raining hard and we have to go to vote. I´ll go next sunday". I thought in my mind: voting takes probably an hour and it was open until 10 at night, while church was in the morning and they didn´t seem in to much of a hurry to go vote in the morning haha.
Oh well. We managed to get 7 investigators to church which I am super grateful for. We went home halfway through sacrament meeting as my companion had to use the restroom, to use the most proper terms. We´ve been staying in the apartment since. The members so nicely have brought us food, including a chicken noodle soup for my companion. Hoping he gets better soon! I´m looking forward to the fruit of all of our hard work, as we have some baptisms coming up now. I´ll make sure to send a bunch of pictures with the next email, as I´ve noticed a lack of pictures sent lately!
Love you all!
