This week went really well.
On Tuesday we had a ward council where we talked about the new vision of the mission which is super focused on church attendance for the investigators.
On Wednesday we had a zone conference in San Fernando and it went all good. We talked a lot more about the attendance and how for every investigator we need to find the "3 Nephites". Someone to pick them up, someone to give them the welcome, and someone to sit with them. The zone conference was supposedly going to end at 3:00 but ended up finishing at 5:30 of course so that took up all of our day on Wednesday.
On Thursday we took this 15 year old kid we are teaching, Omar, to the mutual activity and then we played soccer with them for 10 minutes and it turns out a member had brought three friends because they all wanted to meet Ruben Sanchez the famous soccer player in our ward who is in the Young Men's Presidency. But it went really well. Omar really likes being with the other young men and feels comfortable.
On Friday, we did divisions with the zone leaders and I stayed in Versalles with Elder Manica from Brazil. So Elder Manica and I contact a lady in the street and she just explodes and starts going off about all the problems our church has and Elder Manica is trying to respond politely and then she starts talking about how we dress and says that women aren't allowed to wear pants and then finally I lose my patience and say to her "fine, you go to church in pants and I will go in a dress on Sunday. See you there." Well she didn't end up coming to church but oh well.
That Friday we taught a first lesson to this 21 year old dude Juan who is super good and had a ton of good questions.
On Saturday we walked a ton but we had a really freaking weird lunch. It turns out that the woman who we were eating with had married the man who used to be her step-dad so that was really hard for me to get my head around. Like I said before Omar is really excited and we have his baptism scheduled for the 22nd of this month so that will be awesome.
