Another week has gone by, and it went by fast!
This week, we really tried to find a lot of new investigators by talking to people in the street, knocking doors, etc. We got some new investigators, but man, it was a bumpy ride. So far, I think that this area has been the hardest in my whole mission for finding new investigators. We got a lot of really mean and a lot of rude rejections, which are not exactly ¨make you feel good moments.¨
However, this week, we did have some really cool moments.
We got to teach the parents of a family that we found, and it has been a big blessing for us. We got to teach them about the Restoration, and the family has clearly been prepared. The Spirit is really strong in the lessons, and they say that they can feel peace. We invited them to be baptized right after the lesson of the Restoration and the Book of Mormon, and they asked us what the difference is between us and the Catholics. Hee-ya. But, they committed to read and pray about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
This week, we only taught 6 lessons the whole week, which wasn't very much, which meant a LOT of time in the street. We started to knock doors, and we knocked like 10 doors and no one even opened the door to reject us. It was rough. So, me and Elder Véjar decided to go to the two most busy streets in our area, and go ¨hunting.¨ We spent an hour or so doing that, and we were able to talk to a lot of young people that seem to have interest!
Funny
This week, Elder Sosa (The Elder From Paraquay that is living with us) was taking a long time in the bathroom, so we put three mattresses, a bunk bed, a suitcase, and a bunch of weights in front of the door to lot him in. He ended up going through the back door, and had to climb over the pension in order to get back in. I will be sending pictures.
We knocked a door, and a really rough looking woman opened the door, cigarrette in hand, and she seemed really grumpy. When we walked away, this was our conversation:
Me: ¨Vio lo que yo vi?¨
Elder Véjar: ¨ Sí che, ella tenía más barba y bigote que yo¨
(Use Google Translate if you dont understand)
Love you all!
