10 February, 2014 Transfers for Others, Not For Me!

Well this week was pretty cliche. We worked and tryed to find investigators. We have a few but they dont seem to want to progress. Mate (Yerba Mate - their traditional tea) is too important i guess. 

We have a investigatos whos sister (member) chased us down in the street. We gave her the first two lessons and set a baptismal date. Her name is Estela. She is very receptive but once her sister returned to cordoba she keeps on making excuses not to talk with us. It is kinda discourgeing. But we dont give up.

In Ward Council meeting they are focusing on giving each companionship 15 less active families so it is very hard to find time for other people but we will succed.

We recieved calls this week that half of our district is leaving. Im going to missi those guys. They are very cool.

The pictures are of me performing the ritual of burning my agenda after each tranfer. I am with Elder Bezerra again for another 6 weeks.

3 February, 2014 I'm a Bodyguard?

So as a recently we (Elder Bezerra and I) have been having some ¨close encounter¨ by this I mean like men watching our apartment, moto bandits (guys that drive really close and try to snatch your backpacks) and menacing pebes (teenagers). Before Elder Bezerra, I never had a problem in 8 weeks. So I was laying in bed trying to think what and why all this was happening. Finally I realized that Elder Bezerra is blonde, green eyed and every one of the members, other missionaries, and investigators thinks he is American. So now I walk down the street while he talkes my ear off, watching our surroundings and  advoiding drunks and gangs of pebes, changing our routes and watching our backs. The whole time he is oblivious to his surroundings just life is jolly and full of butterflies. But I love him.

I can finally say that after 9 months on my mission, I LOVE MY MISSION. Things are good here, we lack on the investigators but I am honestly enjoying myself. Lifes Good and it has been for like 3 weeks. And I honestly hope it stays this way. 

Well today is a zone activity and I really want to show off my inner michael jordan so I got to run.

The Church is true, the book is blue, moronis on the ball, I LOVE YOU ALL.
