Week 24

Alright.... This week was a little slow… But here you go...

Lunes: Today we woke up early and cleaned the house and did our laundry. And the other Hermanas helped me in learning how to effectively wash my clothes here:) Then we went to Centro so Hermana Delgado could buy stuff before she goes home. She dies this transfer! *Gasp But it was fun. And we ate tlayudas for lunch with some other Hermanas in our zone:) Then we came home and rested for a bit and then went out to teach some investigators in their area.

Martes: Today we had our normal district meeting and took pictures with everyone. And we got to work in my area today:) We had comida with the familia Matinez andof course it was so good:) Then we went out to Hermano Hugo and taught him about pre-earth life and the creation. He understood it very well. Then we tried seeing if Belia and Julia had time for a lesson, but both of them were leaving the house and the daughter of Julia has denge, so she's taking care of the kids. So we went to our meeting with Hermano Pino... Or our fight with him... Ya we kind of got into an argument with our mission leader today. He doesn't think that we're working right and we're lazy because we aren't with the members as much as he wants. But he just doesn't understand that we have other key indicators that we have to do as well... Oh well...

Miercoles: Today we rested because Hermana Martinez got sick. She had big pain in her stomach and she couldn't work. So I studied a lot and wrote letters while she rested. Then in the night we went and taught one of their investigators about the Book of Mormon. She really felt the spirit in this lesson because she started crying and said it's an answer to her prayers. It was awesome to see that:)

Jueves: Today we started out with going to Betesda for Hermana Martinez and her sickness. Then we went into weekly planning... And I kind of got chewed out about the way I do it. With my past comps we've figured a way to do it with less amount of time, but doing it in the same effect as Preach My Gospel.... Yup.... But it's okay... We spent our day in the area of the Hermanas. We first went to comida and it was super good:) Then we went super far away and talked to a menos activo family and the importance of coming to church. But Hermana Martinez started to not feel good, so we started heading home while handing out invitations to investigators to our ward conference this week.

Viernes: Today we started out by going to a meeting for the leaders But since I'm not one I went to my area with a new missionary and we contacted for 2 hours. For comida we went to the bishop's house and the food was good:) But we were running low on time so we just went around my area and gave out invitations to my investigators. Then we had a couple of lessons in the other area.

Sabado: Today I woke up sick...:P..... To my stomach. So I rested for a while. And it was sad because when I felt better Hermana Delgado felt sick. Really sick.... We didn't leave until our ward pre-conference activity started. But we went and ate really good food and watched some of the activities. There was also a baptism going on, so we invited the investigators that came to the activity to watch it. And experience! After the baptismal ordinance the bishop of the ward holding the baptism called me over and asked if I could sing a musical number. Aah! I got to sing Divina Luz and the bishop played the piano. And it was fun because he added his own accompaniment :) After the baptism we tried to work, but Hermana Delgado was NOT feeling good. So we went home and she slept while we watched the Testaments in Spanish:)

Domingo: Woot! All of us felt healthy:) Ward conference was awesome! Everyone participated and we had David and Julia with her grandkids in church:) And we took a lot of pictures with the other Hermanas. Comida was with Hermana Erica and Humbeto of the other area and it was super good. True comida Oaxaqueña:) Then we tried visiting a few of their investigators, but none of them were home. We did find the same investigator that we taught about the Book of Mormon. We taught he how she can gain her own testimony of the gospel. Then we ended the night with a member who made us hot chocolate with pan dulce.

Alright now for transfers.....

I will be staying here in Reforma 2 and I will have my first Latin comp. Aah! Her name is Hermana Molina and she has maybe one more transfer than me so she's still a little new too. So excited:)

Alright. Now I need to go. But I love y'all and hope you're having fun. And don't forget. You have one more week to read 2nd Nephi. I know you can do it. And please. Send me any insights you get while reading. I'd love to hear:)

Love Always,

Hermana Walker
