Well this week nothing went as planned, but as you know "plans are made
to be changed." We didn´t have the baptism this week that we had
planned, and he will be going to Mexico City this week, so we gave him
some ways to contact the missionaries down there. We didn´t manage to
get the house rented yet that we went to see last Monday, he has some
issues about the contract (as always :( )
but we will be talking to him tomorrow. One thing that went better
then I thought was an activity we had on Saturday to encourage the
members to do the work of salvation. I will admit that I was a little
concerned about effectiveness of sending the members out to contact
people on the street, but it turned out better then I thought. People
were more accepting of them then they are to two white guys with a white
shirt and tie. I just hope that it´ll encourage them to talk to their
friends. The other nice thing is, seeing as the ward is at the point of
destruction, so it has encouraged them to do home teaching, they just
made the assignments this week, and if they do it, this will be the
first time I have seen home teaching since I got here. I´m hoping they
do it, because if not, it doesn´t matter how much work we put into it,
we won´t be able to save the ward on our own.
Oh me and my
companion have found some Christmas lights, so we put them up in our
house for the Christmas spirit. I know what your thinking, that it´s
too early to be thinking about Christmas. But not here in Mexico,
everyone here loves to celibate, the day they stop celebrating is a sad
day (well that´s not really true, they still celebrate when they are sad :).
