This week was full of ups and downs, but everything is okay
now :)
Martes: We had our weekly district meeting and talked about
how we can better involve the members in the work. We also went and taught our
borachos and that was so hard. Two were slightly drunk and rambled on, but they
had a bunch of friends come over... But we taught them more about Joseph Smith
and the Book of Mormon and we ended up having to finish up the lesson fast
because they had two friends telling them to drink and being disrespectful to
us, chastity guy was back, and it just wasn't the best place to be teaching.
But the boys had us say a prayer in a different location and we gave them
assignments to read.
Miercoles: ¡Templo! The temple here is so tiny! It was so
weird. And everything was in Spanish! Weird... But it was so great. I miss
going every week... But we had a few good lessons with other investigators and
then we went to the borachos.... Not a good day for any of us. One had been
punched in the mouth right before we got there so we went to the lesson with
him bleeding. But he did all of the reading and even more. And he hadn't been
drinking all day. We watched the 15 min restoration movie and looked at some of
the Book of Mormon pictures. When we went back for the other boys.... It was so
bad. They didn't do their reading, they were half drunk. We were so
disappointed. Hermana Olsen had us leave because she was too frustrated to
teach. But later the guy who did his reading told us that the others realized
why we were mad and we had a whole apologizing session, so we're good. They
just need to work.
Jueves: Today was a little hard because we couldn't find
anyone to teach. No one was home..... But we did run into one of our less
actives and taught him a really good lesson and asked if he would come to
church.
Viernes: Today was kind of the same as yesterday. We
couldn't find anyone to teach. We did talk to two people who have baptism
dates. One is having trouble understanding why he can't spend money on Sundays
and why he can't drink coffee because he doesn't fear anything bad will happen.
So we're working with that. The other one has a baptism this upcoming Sabado,
so we asked if he had questions of doubts.
Sabado: ¡Feliz dia de las madres! Today was awesome and
frustrating... We got to have Dominos for lunch today because they were doing a
deal. It was so good! But in the middle of it, it started POURING rain! It was
so awesome! So when we left to go teach we had our rain boots, raincoats,
umbrellas, everything :) But we could not find a single soul to teach because
of the rain and because it was mother's day. I almost got kissed too by a very
drunk guy.... yay.......
Domingo: Happy Mother's Day! Today was so great! Good day at
church and I got to talk to my family! I cannot even describe how happy I was
to see them :)
Hoy: We had another play practice and we spent our day in
Central. That's where all of the good shops are. I got a really nice Oaxacan coin
purse and an authentic Oaxacan shirt. It's gorgeous!:)
Well I hope you all
had a good week as well. And remember I want to hear from you! Write please! :)
Love ya'll!
Love Always,
Hermana Walker
