Elder Benjamin Michael Conover Mission Blog : Week 71: Christmas Week

Hey Everyone!

I hope that you all had an awesome Christmas week! This week was a good one, and it went by SO fast!

First off, on Pday, we got together with a couple of other elders and we played ¨around the world¨ with a frisbee, which was fun! The rest of the day we spent in the pension, since Elder Plumb had a few blisters on his feet, and it hurt him to walk.

Then, on Tuesday, we got to do intercambios with the other missionaries in the district. I got to go with Elder Tyler, from Utah, and it was so great, and we got to work so hard!

This week, we got to keep on teaching Maria and Silvia, and it was another roller coaster. First off, the members started saying rude things to Maria again. We got to go to Maria and Silvia's house, with some other members, and they heard what was going on, and they couldn't take it anymore. The Hermano stopped and said, ¨[Maria´s Ex] is not a good person.,¨ and began to talk about things that he has done that shows he is not in a good place. I was super afraid she was gonna get offened, but it actually helped, and we got to give her a blessing, and she and Silvia came to church yesterday, and Maria will be baptized this Friday! Woo!

Funny

We were doing Abrir La Boca with Elder Tyler, and a woman came out, breast feeding. Well, she started talking to us, and it was super uncomfortable, and then she pulled the baby´s head off, showing everything. IT WAS TERRIBLE

A woman handed me a baby during a lesson (we can't hold babies) and ran off, and there was literally nothing I could do, it was so lame, and I just looked over at Elder Tyler super defeated haha

Love you guys!
