How are you all? Still fantastic? I hope so. This week has been a good one.
On
Monday, we had divisions. I went to work with the Companero mayor in
the area of Los Aztecas. We found some pretty cool people. But I did
find out about some pretty great problems between the companionship in
that area. We are working on it. Just small petty things. Ridiculous.
On Tuesday, the zone leaders called, and told me
that as District leader, i have to have at least 14 lessons taught each
day...I am still working on it...but i do get close. Still hitting an
average of 10. Its cool though.
On Wednesday, we taught the girlfriend of a less
active member, she came out and told us that she wants to be baptized.
We were so excited...until we found out that she doesn't live in our
area. But the other Elders in my district were excited to find out that
we already put a baptismal date with on of their investigators. They
later put one with her dad as well. We are excited.
Thursday, another young woman came up to me and told
me that she wants to be baptised as well. She is friends with the young
women in the Rivera family that we baptised in January. She told us
that she already talked to her grandma, and that we can pass by their
house to teach them on Saturday, that we did.
We also had a Capacitacion by Presidente Angulo on
Thursday, in the which he told us the grand news of La Mision Mexico
Ciudad Juarez. WOOHOO!!! I still don't to which mission i will belong,
Chihuahua, or Juarez. But with the way things are going right now, i
might be staying in Juarez for the next year and a half. But who knows
really. We are pretty excited that the lord is Apresurando his work in
this way, and so soon.
We have 4 months left with La Mision Mexico
Chihuahua, La Mision Maravillosa, with our dear President Angulo. We
will achieve the grand harvest in that time.
On
Saturday, we were to have an awesome stake activity, with all of the
investigators, less actives, recent converts, and active members, in the
which we were to learn about family history, then we all were going to
go to the Temple, and have an activity there, outside. Then return to
the stake for a grand baptismal service of all of the 12 baptisms
programmed for the zone. Unfortunately, it was not very well
coordinated, the temple was closed, nobody came, and there was only 1
baptism, with very weird talks given by the stake presidency about
Quetzalcoatl being Jesus, and about how if we are inactive, we cant
achieve the Celestial kingdom....bummer. I was hoping that that activity
would have excited our investigators...shoot. But its all good, i got
to spend a lot of time with Mayra and her family, our recent convert, in
their car on the ride. It felt like home for a bit.
On sunday morning, i was walking and looking at my cell phone looking for a phone number, and i ran into a car...
My companion died laughing.
We
had four investigators in church (One was Mayra's husband, who came for
the first time). There was good attendance. And instead of talks, there
were goodbyes said by four familys, who are now being moved to a
different ward, because all of the areas are changing to accomodate the 2
new stakes. Already changing. Holy canoly.
We
have been having very harsh sand storms this week. It fills the nose,
eyes, ears, hair, shoes, everything. And one night, it was sand, mixed
with snow. so cold. It hurts. But it is fun...now i just need to ride
about it in my journal...I hope that you keep these letters, cause i
have no free time to write in my journal...i will work on it.
Well, i love you all. I am going to go play soccer
now with my district. Woot woot. Have a great week. Stay awesome. Stay
beautiful. Baptise a friend. Tell Kara Schmitt that i am working on her
letter, and have been working on it for the last three weeks..i write
about one paragraph each week... its rough.
Love,
Elder Romney Hansen
p.s.
I have been working on perfecting my mexican accent. I just repeat the
english words the way my companion says them. heh heh. Love it.
