Hope everyone is doing well:) Nothing too crazy happened
this week. Our investigators for the most part are all progressing! My comp and
I had the idea too start a book club for our ward and investigators. The book
we are reading es El Libro de Mormon:) The club is every Wednesday evening for
an hour and a half and is called "La Nube". Our first reunion was Wednesday and we had such a great turnout. We read 1 chapter all together and
we analyze throughout what we are reading. We all talk and have food after and
everyone has 1 chapter or reading homework each week. We made bookmarks with
the reading assignments and our ward is really excited about this club. Bishop
announced that anyone who attends for 3 months straight without missing a week
will receive a triple! We had the idea because some of our investigators were
having a hard time understanding the scriptures. With the club, they will be
able to understand each chapter a little better and meet the members of the
ward too.
Ok. The mangos, avocados, and sweet potatoes here are seriously to die for. We are eating lots of them everyday and I am addicted! They are so much better here for some reason ha.
We had a mission night Friday for our ward with messages from Hemana
Alais and I, then games after. We played lots of games and anyone who lost in
any of the games had a consequence after the games were over. The consequence:
all the losers had to dance in front of everyone. It is a tradition here, the
dance is like the chicken dance and it's so funny. Then everyone votes on the
best dancer. ha I was one of the losers and so obviously I used your chicken
dance daddio-& I won! hahaha. No, but the activity was great because members
brought non-member friends and it turned out great! Missionary work is not just
for the missionaries! Members play a HUGE part in our work here. Our ward is so
supportive and helping us lots:) Oh the baptism of Fiona is this week! So
excited for her. Sorry I will give more updates on our investigators next week, but I have to go! Love you all so much! Go make it the best week!
