So, some really sweet stuff this week! First, we did not have a change!!! I´ve got six more weeks with Elder Anderson!!! We´re gonna tear it up! I´m super happy about it.
We have been working super well, but unfortunately we don´t have investigators coming to church...
Well, we had three, but we´re used to having like 12 or 14. But the members are finally coming again. I ended up giving a talk on Sunday, which was fun. Our last fam, Jaun and Maria didn´t come to church... and we can´t find their new house. Agh!!! But we´ll figure it out and I´ll keep you all updated.
On Friday I had a really cool experience. Melissa, the girl who got baptized that first Saturday after I left Nuevo San Juan called me! She doesn´t understand that that´s against the rules. So now she knows, but we got to talk for just a few minutes. She said, "they called me as a missionary!" I was like... I don´t think so. She´s been a member for six weeks and is only 16 years old. She´s a branch missionary!! haha. and she leaves (I think he means goes) with the sister missionaries out there all the time now. She already sounds like a missionary. She said, "We´ve already had two baptisms this month!" haha. Nicol, whom we were working with forever finally got baptized! Then she said she got a friend of hers from school going to church, and he joined!!! I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. A few people I think thought that she was only a flirt bc of the missionaries, but now both missionaries are gone and she´s helping the work progress in that area!
Another really cool experience was on Saturday... the whole branch found out that it was my birthday, and if you don´t know Central American culture, birthdays are a really big deal. They threw me a surprise birthday party! haha. they smashed eggs filled with confeti on my head and gave me cake and pizza. It was a really sweet experience. I love them all so much, and I´m so glad that I´ll have more time in this area. It´s pretty much for sure now that because we didn´t get changed, that I will have at least 4.5 months here in the end. Who knows. maybe six! But let´s not push my luck. haha.
And our zone leaders didn´t get changed, so that pretty much means for sure that I will have Elder Polendo as my zone leader for three transfers! I love that guy (my trainer for those who have forgotten).
Love and miss you all! Keep me updated!
