Hello from the other side



Week 18 (November 14, 2016)

Hi everyone whats crackalackin?! 

This week has been super boring. Nothing happened at all. 

Actually this happened. On Friday night we had a little mission night where the members could bring non member friends to get to know us. But our ward mission leader wanted some people from the ward to sing ¨A Child´s Prayer.¨ So being the only musically educated one in the ward I had to organize and teach it to them. (This is all in spanish btw.) I will tell you right now, that was one of the hardest things I´ve ever had to do. To get them to sing both of the parts at the same time was impossible. It was like teaching a bunch of lost puppies how to sing. It just doesn´t work. But. We pulled it off! And the night was a big success! 

Sunday we contacted people the entire day to reach a goal our president set. We were going all day long and we tripled what were initially supposed to do! It was great! We went back to our house at 9 to count up our weeks work. But then our Zone Leaders called, and told us that we were still short of the goal. So we went back out. Tired as can be. 

We saw one man walking towards us and I clearly heard the spirit tell me to contact him. I started the awkward salutation as always, but we quickly became comfortable talking to each other. He told me his name was Jorge. He then told me that he was a member of the church, but he had stopped attending in 2009 due to his job. And he never returned. He had been waiting for a way to find a way back because he didn´t know where to start. 
The spirit is so real.! We are going to be teaching Jorge this week! 

Today we had changes! My comp is leaving to serve in Cusco! And Im staying in Puno! But Im going to be training! yay. And im also the new district leader. Yay.

Love you all so much! Hope all is well in the U.S. with Donald Trump. Let me know if he builds the wall.
