Alright well things were able to pick up a little bit more this week. We were able to go back to some referrals that we've been working on for a while now. But at last we had contact with them and taught them. One of them whose name is Basilio is seeming to be really solid. A friend in Florida had invited him to his son's baptism and he really liked it and liked the spirit that he felt. So he talked to missionaries in Florida before coming back up here and now we are teaching him. Then we finally got schedules aligned with a family who is always super busy but has loved missionaries coming over in the past and we went over yesterday and had a really good lesson with them talking about general conference. Hopefully they can come to church next week. Yesterday we were also able to see Zach again. He has been reading the book of mormon for the past little while. The challenge will be having him come to church since he's only home Sunday afternoons and works out of town any other time. But we'll figure something out.
Other things to note this week would be the weather has finally changed here. On Friday we had our first day under 75 degrees since spring hit. And it was great, it was like 68° and when you walked out the door you weren't instantly sweating. It was super refreshing. It also super helped because we later had to move someone that same day and I would usually be dying afterwards but I was totally fine. After moving we also got some food at the legendary BBQ place The Smokin Pig which was super good. Oh I guess a hurricane also supposedly hit around here too. We had no idea one was coming until the night of when we were told we would be put on lockdown for a couple of hours. I guess it hit us during the night but we woke up and it didn't look like anything had happened, so it was just another let down.
That's all that really happened this week I guess. I hit my 14 month mark this last week. We have a really young district, me and my companion are the oldest in the mission. We have a trainee and one that's just out of training. So I'm starting to feel super old and yet I still have 10 months left. It was super weird seeing the last group go home because a lot of them were people who I was around when I first came out and I was with them celebrating their one year mark, and now they are done, and it has felt like no time has passed. So I'm kinda scared how fast my time will past as well. But as long as I'm working hard I got nothing to worry about. And boy am I working hard. It almost seems impossible to work this hard with how tired I feel all the time. But that's just God blessing me in this work I guess.
Pues eso es todo, les amo mucho,
