My flight is booked for December 2nd.
I'm hoping I get transferred my last transfer. It would be nice to know
a different area in the mission. I've stayed in Oriximiná since I got
here. I'm thinking I'll go. It's hard to tell. We still have 4 weeks
left of the transfer.
Okay
so this week was fast. I was thinking last night about what I would write and as I was thinking about the week I realized that every week
during the week seems so slow but by the time p-day arrives I can hardly
believe that the week is already over. We just do so much in one week.
it's hard to remember everything.
Monday I found a dead mouse under my bed. That was lovely. I'm thinking we might have to end our English course. Nobody showed up Wednesday until about 6:50
and even then it was only 3 people. And it's just not very productive
for finding people. It's only the members that come. Also, since we got a
piano here I have to play the hymns every Sunday.
And they don't let me choose. Turns out I can play almost anything
without practicing. Who knew! And now all the members want me to teach
them piano...... I wish we had the time.
I'm
thinking we're going to have to wipe our slate clean and find new
people. Our awesome investigators aren't progressing anymore. Which is a
little frustrating. We have one family we're working on and the
daughter who's 16 is always reading The Book of Mormon. Like, nobody
else can read it because she's always reading haha but she feels like
she's not ready to get baptized and it's been 2 weeks since she came to
church. I think a lot of our investigators don't really know our purpose. But we have one
baptism coming up this Saturday and another next Saturday. I'm hoping all works out!
We had an awesome lesson with Bishop Wednesday
night with our investigators. We read a part of Lehi's dream and talked
about the important things in life. Especially enduring to the end. The
spirit was super strong. Oh our family with the 16 year old, the mom said that she and
her husband are going to get married soon, and then she wants to get baptized soon
after! I'm hoping it's during this transfer.
Saturday
night we had an activity at the park where we made contacts talking
about family history. It was supposed to be with a ton of members. Well,
only 4 members showed up at the church to help out. It was pretty
depressing. But towards the end TONS of members showed up and started
making contacts. We had a big screen, too, showing slides about family
history. It was pretty legit. We managed to make over 80 contacts and
receive referrals from the members. Now we just have to go visit
everybody at home. I'm thinking this week is going to be busy.
I'm
not sure if my chacos are going to survive 10 more weeks. I'm hoping at
least until the end of the transfer. If they die then I have a cheap
pair of sandals I bought here for church that I can wear for the next 6
weeks.
Also an American elder gave me some
stuff that he got in a box from his mom so I've been making a little bit
of food for the sisters here. we've eaten toll house cookies, guacamole,
and Alfredo. They loved the Alfredo! It's going to be really strange to
come home and eat at night. Here we eat lunch at 1 or 2 and it's like
dinner and then for "dinner" at night, well, we really don't eat at
night. usually popcorn or fruit. or a milkshake haha. I learned how to
make ice cream from scratch! pretty cool.
Love Sister Clark
