Another week gone. What happened? I just can´t remember...
We are trying to work better with the members. This last Thursday and Friday they had day of the dead. Nothing real interesting happened. I just saw a lot of wasted food on their shrines. Everyone just goes to the cemetary and that's about it. We didn´t have many lessons those two days, I think because of that. We were able to find a few different members to go out with us. Hopefully they will help us find some more people to teach.
It looks like we may be getting more money every month! That will help out. I still don´t really understand how they are doing the money for travel and all that. We´ll see if this is actually better or just a bunch of confusion.
An area seventy came and talked to us. It was Elder Johnson. It was pretty good. He focused on not baptizing ANYONE until they are ready. Fully ready. Also how when we ask people to do certain things, if we haven´t done them, DO them! Like praying and asking God if he really is our Heavenly Father, if we are His children, and if he actually knows us. The basics pass us by a lot of the time and we may need to focus more on those.
Torres and myself are quite different. We were brought up culturally different. He is a recent convert. He knows a lot of the scriptures and I really need to work on that.
I haven´t had anything too weird to eat this week. Nothing weird actually. Oh, I have had a lot of candied pumpkin which is really good and I think its easy to make. Just sugar, cinammon, I think, and water. Look it up how to make it and maybe try it sometime. Uhhh, what else?
One investigator promised to go to church and said he didn´t have anything else that would get in the way. Well, he didn´t show up again! We visited him after sacrament and he said he was going to get a shower and head over there. HE DIDN´T!!! I'm getting pretty sick of that.
Well, not much else crazy happened this week. We had some really good lessons and just need more help from the members. Ok, gotta go.
