So we had our zone meeting on a thursday becasue they did. Not sure exactly but they did.
We were able to finally have another lesson with Carmen Alena. She is an investigator and her husband is a less active member and she is going to get abptized. She is so willing to learn and wants to get baptized. But we got into trouble becasue we have tot meet with her late and she was late so that made us late-er and so we got into truble. Hopefully this week won´t happen like that again.
Saturday Hna Quesada had a baptism in Puerta Plata so she went with a member and me and Hermana calderon stayed in Villa Olga and all of our lessons fell through so we contacted. 4 out of 10. Then we had to literally jump the fence to visit with a member because she didn´t hve the beeper to open her gate and was home alone. It was funny.
Sunday we went to church and in the middle of sacrament meeting an American, a Chinese, and a Hawaiian walk in. Sounds like the beginning of a joke. None of them end up knowing Spanish. the American knew a little becasue he was learning but served his mission in Brazil. And he was the only member. So in gospel principles we used phones and they tried to follow along in English it was a little hard. They were visiting the DR with the University from the states to just learn about the country. So they stopped by becasue all of the group was sick from the day before. So during Relief Society I sat next to the Chinese lady. She is actually from Canada and speaks English. I used Andreina´s phone so she could read the lesson in Englsih. The title of the lesson was, Jesus Christ the Only Way to Peace and Joy or some thing like that. At the end I was talking to her and asking if she had any questions. She has no religious background. None. So I talked little about the Plan of Salvation and a few other things and she said. That she really liked what she felt and read so she is going to go to church with the American in the states so she can actually understand what is happening. She said I thought about visiting the church but I never thought that my first time would be in Spanish. The church is true and is the same in all parts of the world. The same church if Jesus Christ. It is amazing.
We had a good lesson/training with Felipe and Clara espinal (the familia Noble) we talked about deep doctrine stuff and we left like WOW it has been a long time since we have talked about anything like that. So funny.
We ended up having a Family Home Evening in the house of a less active and we talked about the importance of prayers how we need to help each other and pray in families and personally. The kids were actually quiet. Thanks to coloring pages that Hermana Clove left to me.
Tuesday we had a Zone Conference and we talked about our objective as missionaries and how to develop Christlike attributes. It was a good meeting. Then we made sure that the church was clean when we left so that we wouldn´t get into trouble with our bishop and then had time for one lesson and then we had to be back to the church for our meetings with the ward. Today we cleaned and then we went to the church and made opcorn and brownies and watched movie with our district. We all came to the realization that next week is the last p-day in this tranfser and we are all pretty sure that there are changes that are going to come. We will see.
Hope ya´ll are well
