Dear Everyone,
- Did Elder S. actually draw on the money or did it come to him that
way? Elder S. actually drew on it...
- Grandpop’s 2014 calendar is finished, and it is really nice as
usual. Do you want us to send you a couple in your Christmas box, or do
you just want us to save you one for when you get home? If you want us to
send them, how many do you want? Can you send me 2 calendars, one for
me and one for my comp?
Today we got a blast of fall weather too, lots of wind and
rain which meant that 2 big trees fell down in our neighborhood, tearing down
power lines with them. We still have power, luckily, but during the week they are
starting to turn off the water and electricity to the whole neighborhood in
order to ration water, which normally isn´t a problem because we never are at
home in the afternoon but for p-day it will be a little bit tricky!!
So, let’s get down to business!!
President Genaro ordered us to get our house in order,
because in the words of Sister Genaro, “it looks as though the house has been
abandoned for over a year!” So, as you can see by the picture, we did a major
overhaul in the backyard and in the process we made a little mess!! But, we did
clean it up, so now our house is limpinho!!!
squeaky clean!! We cleaned everywhere, we even pressure-washed the bathrooms
and kitchen!! Yeah, missionary cleaning!!!
This week, I told the other elders that I had the Young
Women’s theme memorized and they were all making fun of me for a few days, but
then one day they came back and apologized to me because they were teaching
this young woman and they were trying to explain to the mom about what her
daughter would learn in the Young Women’s program and they couldn´t remember
all of the Young Women values!! Yeah, it would have come in real handy if they,
too, had the Young Women’s theme memorized!! :-P
On Wednesday we spent the whole day in the sisters’ area
tracking down references, talking with everyone in the street and basically
running all over creation, but it was good, we got a lot of work done for them
while they looked after their investigators and we even found some cool people
for them to teach. They brought a family to church this week so that was cool!!
On Thursday I did a division (split) with the zone leaders
so they could travel to another city to help out a companionship that works
there and still accompany all of their investigators!!
On Saturday we did a division with the secretaries to help them
out and that also was really good. I will probably do more divisions with them
this next week because they will be trapped in the office doing the transfers
so I will help them accompany all of their investigators!! Being district
leader is great!! I love running around creation to help everyone out!! (We ran
into this crazy lady who has 60 dogs that she takes care of!!!)
Also this week we did a lot of sleeping outside because of
the heat. One night I tried to sleep in my hammock and by tried, I mean I tossed
and turned for 2 hours before getting my mattress and going to sleep!! My
hammock is really comfy to relax, but to sleep it is not so neat!!
And that sums up my week!! Thanks for the great email as
always!! Happy Birthday, Uncle Steven!! HOLY COW WHAT HAPPENED TO IZZY!!!?? She
is huge!!
Com Amor!

Excellent! See, random knowledge is always useful!
ReplyDeleteI was impressed he had done that but now that I know why, that's fabulous! That's what I'm sharing with Tanner next week. He's such a hard, clean worker! How come they don't see each other?
