Focus on the JAS

May 29, 2017

[Week of May 22 – 28]

Monday - Today was a pretty good day. For P-day like I said last week we went go Pontevedra and we played fútbol with the whole district. It was pretty fun. Then we went and wrote emails while we were there in Pontevedra. Then when we got back to Vigo, we went to visit Gabriel. We had a really good lesson with him and we actually got to do a Chapel tour with him as well. He's got so much potential and we are so happy to be working with him.

Tuesday - So yesterday I hit another Elders head with mine while we were playing fútbol. I got a pretty big lump and then today I had a pretty bad headache in the morning. We ate lunch and then I took a little nap. Then we headed out and tried to do some finding. We had a lesson with Victor and his family at 8:15ish and after that we made calls to set stuff up for the rest of the week.

Wednesday - Today we had district meeting in the morning. Then as a district we went to burger King. Then I said bye to Elder Burt for the rest of the day because I'm doing intercambios with Elder Jones today. He's from Gilbert, Arizona. We had a really good day. Although some of our stuff failed we stayed focused and tried to make the best of it with our backup plans. It was a really good intercambio.

Thursday - So today at 1:30ish we got back with our normal companions and we headed back to Vigo. We ate lunch with a member named Judy. She made us some delicious chicken and lentils. After that we did studies. Then we had an activity with the JAS. We went bowling, and it was awesome. The activity was good because we had a really good turnout and as well they liked the activity so much they want to do another one with the JAS on Saturday. Our branch's JAS has been struggling recently to want to do activities or to hang out or to go to church so we we started this activity to help them get together and have a good time. I won of course in Bowling. Haha! It was actually really close because Hermana Otto one of the sister missionaries is really good.

Friday - Today was a really good day. This morning we did some finding and then we headed to eat with our recent convert José Carlos. He made us swordfish. It was delicious! 

Then we went and helped to do some service with the branch mission leader Ludín. It was really fun. He got like literally a Ton of food and we had to carry it all back to his house. Then we had Correlation as well. Then we had a branch activity where we talked a lot about family history and how to do it better.

Saturday - So we went and played fútbol this morning. Then we ate with a member named Ingrid, who made us empollada which is a dish from Peru. It was really good. Then we had another JAS activity and we met in the Chapel and played a ton of games. They had a great time and they really enjoy that we are trying to help them have an environment to bring their friends to.

Sunday - Today  church was really good. Then afterwards we ate with Claudio and Aurora. They made us some amazing Mexican food. Then we did weekly planning for this week. Then we had pancakes. Then we had a Noche De Hogar at Ludin's house.


Monday - Today we went bowling with the Pontevedra Elders and our friend Andriv. It was a really good day.
