So yeah my mission is basically over and if I wanted to
slack off and do nothing this week I seriously couldn’t even if I wanted to. First
off I still need to teach my comp the other branch we cover and where everybody
lives. And we also have a ton of people to teach and put baptismal dates with.
Ok so here (actually only in the mountains) the normal is that when you want a
wife you kinda just pick one and ask her to come to your house with you and she
never goes back to her house. The old way was you bought her a bunch of nice
stuff and whatnot and a cow for her parents, but the teens these days decided
screw that I’m just gunna sneak her out. So this week, 1 member girl (14) was
taken, and two member boys (18 and 19) grabbed their girls. And yes they go on
their own free will so it is something they want. The girl was grabbed by a non
member and the two guys grabbed non members. So now they are all living with
their soon to be wives and husbands but they aren’t married yet. That’s where
we come in... they probably wont get married for like 5 or 6 years unless we plan
it... but... we don’t plan weddings unless some one is getting baptized out of
the two. So we have the perfect opportunity to plan 3 weddings and 3 baptisms.
So this week that will be my main focus.
Other than that we have another
investigator that has been sick, and we have helped her out a ton. And she wants to
come to church really bad when she isn’t sick. She can't leave her bed but I
think this week she should recover by Sunday. I jokingly said just take your bed
to general conference and ride down the mountain to Senahu with it and she said
ok I’ll take my blanket too! She obviously wasn’t able to make it to general
conference but we did have a ton of members there (105 from Yalijux).
This week
was crazy with all the wedding stuff and also nobody knew that general
conference was this Sunday. So I asked the Branch Pres for a list of all the
families and he gave me a list of 30. My comp and I went and told everybody
including a family that lives about 2 hours walking from Yalijux and everybody
except one family I told came! It was super awesome seeing all of them at
conference. So yeah that was basically my week. We were busy all week and this
week looks to be just as busy! Haha this week I have no time to send pictures
but I’ll get you some next week, maybe...
Yes, I was able to teach some of the wedding people.
I also enjoyed the area 70 from Guatemala, Elder Enrique R
Falabella. Yeah I have met him a few times from before he was a 70, he came and
did zone conferences with us.
Love you all and have a great week
