[Week of March 20 - 26 ]
Monday - So today Elder Douglas and I hung out and it was a
pretty chill day. We ate lunch at Burger King and then we played card games
most of the day. The new Elders got here at about 9:45 tonight. Elder Ward is
really tall. Me and him will actually be going home at the same time in
November.

Tuesday - This morning we did some pass-bys. Then we
contacted for a good part of the day. As well we had a lesson with John. He
told us his dad is coming the 4th of April for sure so hopefully we will have
his baptism on the 8th. The lesson went really well because we read the Book of
Mormon with him and we shared our insight and afterwards he shared his own
insight and it was really good. It was cool to see that he understood what we
were reading and that we were able to learn from him.

Wednesday - Today as well was a good day for finding so we
spent a good chunk of our day on the streets looking for some new people. As
well we got lunch from Texenery like we do every Wednesday. It was some really
good rice and meat.
Thursday - Today we did weekly planning for the morning.
Then we went over to Paco and Nati's house for lunch. Then they asked us if we
would be willing to do some service with them. They are building a house for
their son out in a pueblo and they needed some help with the construction and
demolition of some part of the shell of the house they have finished already.
Today we broke three walls down and helped to clean out the interior of a house.
It was super fun. You could say we were pretty sore afterwards though.

Friday - Today we had district meeting in the morning. It
was pretty good, and we talked about why it is necessary to have the Spirit
with us as missionaries. Then we ate lunch in the Piso with the four of us.
Then my companion and I had a lesson with Patricia. We are currently doing the
new member lessons. She taught us the plan of Salvation and she did a really
good job. She's been almost a completely more happy person since going to the
temple. 
Saturday - So today we got out of the Piso at 8:30 this
morning to go with Paco and Nati to help them again. Today we were actually
building the roof of the house. We had a winch to lift the cement up to lay it
for the roof, but, that only lasted about 15 minutes and then it broke. So, it
was up to the four Elders to carry the cement up there with a rope and a hook.
It was pretty fun and we got quite a bit of work done. We had a really fun time
as well and the best part was the members had a barbecue at the end and we ate
so much food. Like each of us probably ate like 2 kilos of meat! After the
service project we went and showered and then headed over to Yolanda's house
for a noche de hogar. It was a really great day.
Sunday - Today was a good day. Today was the first time I've
fallen asleep during sacrament meeting since being here. We were exhausted from
the service project. After church we ate with Zenon's family. Then we had
Correlation meeting. Then we went and taught Fernando. The lesson went pretty
well and he's progressing pretty well. Then we had our studies for the day.
Monday - Today we are going to play Padel with the two new
guys and we are super excited. I seriously love it! It may be one of my
favorite sports. The WiFi is out in the Chapel so hopefully everything will
work for our emails and everything. Today we also played football, like American
football, for a little while. We threw around and it was pretty fun.
