This week has been a crazy awesome and frustrating week. I will start with Tuesday. So Tuesday I had my first Zone conference with the president. I didn´t learn much because it was all in Spanish. lol. But I was complimented on my sweet teaching skills by the president, who said that everybody should try to personalize their lessons like me. In the conference every companionship had to teach the first lesson and I busted out the picture of my family which I keep in my scriptures to emphasize how much I want to return to God and live with my family forever and he loved it. Also I was able to talk with the president, who then turned around and told my companion to never speak English again so that I will learn faster. Over the week I have learned a lot. It's awesome.
Thursday we asked Freddy, the kid we've been teaching, who he wants to baptize him and he picked me. Which was surprising because I don't talk nearly as much as my companion. So that was sweet!!! and I baptized him on Saturday. It was awesome. It was us, the branch pres, and like 30 little kids under the age of 15. lol. It was pretty hectic, but now Freddy is baptized.
You will never believe what happened on Sunday. We had 9 investigators at church! It was awesome. 3 whole families. I was so excited but now I'm getting to the frustrating part of this week. I didn´t email you yesterday because yesterday I was specifically transferred with my companion to the Boni - Nizao area of the mission. Monday we went to the waterfalls and I have some sweet pics that i will email you next week, when we got back the AP´s were at the Zone Leader´s house telling us that we had to pack up and leave because we were being specifically transferred. That was like 2:30. So we get to our house and had to pack and shower super fast, and get all our stuff in the AP´s truck by 3:30. We arrived in our new residency at Boní around 5:00 and what do we find: a sink full of dirty dishes that are all stuck together, a fridge that is all mold (I don´t know what we are going to do with that), a stove without gas, and no electricity or food. And that's not the upsetting part. What's upsetting is that one of the missionaries that took our spot in Azua was living here but had to be switched with us because he was messing around with girls in the ward. So now everybody in Boni isn´t to happy with the missionaries. He gets my 3 families and could mess it up, while we are stuck again in yet another foreign area with no help, a horrible area book, and having to starting all over. Oh well, God is just trying to make me the best I guess and there is no way I will let him down. We were able to give a blessing to a sick lady with dangay fever this morning though, so that was cool. And we had a district meeting today so I meet everybody in my district which is also my Zone. lol. But yea, that's my week. Later
