Hello everyone another great week has passed by, we are doing just fine.
Not really much to talk about except General Conference was really awesome this weekend. 2 hour church!!! How exciting, except now in the mission, I really enjoy 3 hour church, because, one, it's a break from walking, and two, the chapel has air conditioning.
I really enjoyed all of the talks that were given, my favorite was the one given by Elder Soares in the Saturday Afternoon session about a lot of time new members and investigators feel lost and we need to help them and fellowship them... I just wish all of our members of the ward had been there to listen to it, haha.
NOTE: Here's a link to the talk by Elder Soares he mentions
We have this crazy investigator named Veronica who actually is really nice and stuff, but she literally never stops talking, and I never know what to expect from her. So on Sunday she offers to give us ride to General Conference with her and her neighbor, and I'm like, "Sweet, this will be awesome we don't have to take the collectivo [shared taxi]." But, then in the morning when we were driving with her I really regretted that decision because she was a horrible driver and kept going down one-way streets the wrong way, and things like that. So that was interesting.
We did a pre-baptismal interview with her and everything was going well until we got to question 4. which asks if they've ever committed a serious crime. And guess what, of course she answered "Yes" and so now we don't know what to do because she won't tell us what it was so, haahaha, it's just a crazy situation. But, we have another investigator Isabel who is getting baptized on the 19th, for sure, and she is so excited for that, and we are too.
Anyway, everything is good, and guess what we are going bowling later today, and I'm gonna school all these latin fools. :)
