Well nothing happened this week from the days of Tuesday to Friday so I'll just jump ahead to there.
Friday we had interviews, ours were scheduled at 5:00 at night so we spent Friday afternoon weekly planning. Then interviews were up in Greenville so we drove on up there and got there 10 minutes before our interview just to learn that president was behind 2 hours. Which was a problem because we had a dinner with someone special at 6:30. Finally after interviews at about 7 30 we made our way over to Sixto and his family. Well, they forgot about dinner, but it was still super cool to see them, even if it was for a short time. Bibiana is now baptized and married, and they are working on getting to the temple as well which is super cool. So that day was all great and everything.
Saturday we had a bunch of cool lessons planned but they all fell through. So we tried to see a less active member but she was just leaving as we pulled up, so we knocked around her and these 2 sweet elderly ladies opened the door. We introduced the book of mormon to them and they loved it. We swept away all of there misconceptions that they had about it and now they cant wait to read it. And they want us back every saturday. So that was a success. Then we stopped by another less active, unbaptized children household and they told us to come back the next day, and we invited them to church and left. Then we met another member family that hasn't been to church since we've been here on account of them just having a baby. They were really cool and nice. Then we had dinner with the Elders Quorum President's family and that was fun.Then we had a lesson with a self referral named benjamin and that went well and he wants to meet with us every Saturday for a year, so that was also a success.
Sunday was a good day. We had 6 people at church. One of them was that less active family we saw on saturday with the unbaptized child, they actually came to church because we invited them so that was really cool. Then after church we went and saw someone the members suggested we see, and we met with them and we have a lot of service to do with them now since they are clearing out a lot of junk from the property that they just bought. Then we had dinner with that less active, unbaptized child family and had a lesson with the child and put her on date for April 20th, so now Aliviah is on date which was very unexpected but pretty cool. Then we had a lesson with Katie and we taught her the plan of salvation an we were able to put her on date for April 13th. And the plan is to put Kelly and Kyle on date for April 6th, which would be 4 weeks in a row of baptisms. With Ronnie on date for March 30th. So if everything works out it would be quite exciting and quite the miracle.
Thats all for this week. Still no pictures. Sorry.
