Week 82: Starting Over Again

Hey Guys!

Another week has come and gone in the mission, and the fight continues!

Last monday, we got to get together with a bunch of Elders from the Zone, and we got to play soccer with all of them in our area.  It was fun!  

Overall, this week was actually a hard one.  We don't really have many investigators, so we have been talking to a lot of people, but we got a lot of rejection this week.  But, of course, there were blessings and tender mercies along the way.  

First off, this past week, we have been trying really hard to help an investigator that we have, named Esteban.  He is 19, and his family got baptized, but he hasn´t been able to, since he is addictied to Cocaine, among other things.  This week, we were able to feel the spirit a lot while teaching him.  

We are going over the 12 steps to addiction recovery that the church has put on Mormon Channel.  Those videos are amazing, and they applied so well to his circumstance.  The spirit testified with so much power, and put all of us in tears.  We could just feel how much Heavenly Father loves Esteban, despite his problems and his imperfections.  The Lord Loves us!

Like I said before, not much happened this week, but someone brought their friend to church, and he loved it!  So, we will get to teach him.  His name is Augustin and he is 16!  

Funny

We were going to bed, and we usually sleep with all the windows open.  At about 11:30ish, the wind started blowing really hard.  It slammed one of the windows, and we thought it was the door, and that someone had just gotten into the pench.  Elder Véjar and I just sat there watching, and whispering, ¨What do we do?¨ ¨I'm not going, you go¨ hahahaha.  

This one is kinda weird, but whatever.  When I was in San Juan, training, my kid used to try to bite the leaves of the trees that we passed, seeing if he could grab one.  Well, this week I remembered that, so I tried it.  Well, I got the leaf, and I just had it in my mouth, and I was about to spit it out, when I noticed a man staring right at me.  There was no way he didnt see me bite it, but I didnt want him to see me spit it out, so I just avoided eye contact, with a bit leaf in my mouth, until we passed him. hahaha

I love you all so much!
