Oct 17, 2016 - The Wonderful and the Weird

October 17, 2016 - The Wonderful and the Weird

Wow the weather has been crazy huh? The weather here is getting really hot. We just bought some hats

They have here rice with milk (with sugar) and it’s like a dessert. It reminds me of ris ala mande.

This week was pretty good. I’m enjoying getting to know the ward and we have been working hard to find new people. We have been working with an investigator, Ariel. He is super awesome and he got baptized this week. We taught him but he goes with his uncle on the weekends and so he goes to a different ward. This meant that we taught him but he wasn’t going to be part of our ward. I worried about this and I was a little bit sad that we weren’t going to see this baptism and have him in our ward, but we worked with the sister missionaries, and we got permission to go and help in his baptism. Elder Damron got to baptize him for his first baptism in the mission and we were so excited to be a part of his baptism. We are currently teaching his dad and cousins too and they are really awesome!

We also have been teaching someone named Juan Pablo. He has accepted the teachings and has been a perfect investigator. He is 18 years old and is in a wheel chair.  We got some members to help us take him to church. He has accepted a baptism date and he has been progressing a lot. I was really happy with the people who greeted him in the church. Other than that, this week we ate in a restaurant that a member payed for. It was really nice of them and it was really yummy! We ate empanadas! Elder Damron and I are working really well together. He’s super awesome and we laugh a lot. 

Weird experiences:

We were looking for a member that lived in an old persons’ home and it was a little scary. Haha.  They let us in then we couldn’t find the people that worked there. We were surrounded by older ladies that were just staring at us... Haha.  We looked for the brother and we couldn’t find him and then we returned and asked for help.  We found him and I think he’s one of the most sane people there. One of the old ladies asked me for food and I didn’t have anything to give her sadly. Then we left with the brother, haha.

Also just last night I guess there’s like an old wives’ tale that says that if you rub the belly of a frog on your acne on your back it’ll go away. I would never try this, but a young man that lives next to us asked one of the elders to help him and, well, I wasn’t going to pick up the frog but elder Brown did and well he helped the guy out and apparently it worked, haha.

That’s about it!

Love you all
Elder Wolf


Here is 2 of our investigators, Iziquiel and Guillermo.
 

And today we bought sombreros for the sun because we have been burning a little bit. Haha
