This week was really good, but we didn´t get a lot of
proselytizing done because we kept having to go to Córdoba. We tried really
hard, though.
On Tuesday, we went to Córdoba in the morning because my
zone was in charge of a musical number for Zone Conference on Wednesday. Only
five people could sing and I was one of them. They also gave me a solo. Practice
went well, though. When we got back, we had lunch, visited a recent convert, Juan
Peñalosa, and then went to teach Mauricio´s family. They are really funny!
There´s the mom, Heida, the dad, Adelmo, and a sister, Valeria.
On Wednesday, we had Zone Conference! It was amazing! I
loved it! It was really inspiring and uplifting! Also, the song from my zone
went well, so that was good. When we got home, we didn´t have much time. It was
late. But we visited Dora before going back to the pension. We told Dora that
Hermana Romeril was most likely going to be leaving in two weeks and Dora was
so sad. Transfers are right before Dora´s birthday too. She is so cute, though,
and told us that before Hermana Romeril leaves we are having lunch at her
house. She doesn’t have much money at all, but she is determined.
On Thursday, we did all of our studies in the morning.
Then we had lunch with a family. They have a 7-year-old son who would not stop
talking. He was so cute. In the afternoon, we visited the Vazquez family and
then visited Dora. Then we had another lesson with Mauricio´s family. The mom
told us that they were a little worried about their baptism, though. She said
that she didn´t feel prepared. We told her that we didn´t feel that she was
prepared right now either, but that the 30th is a goal and if, by that time,
she still doesn´t feel ready, that´s ok. We´ll postpone. That helped her a lot.
Friday we had district meeting in the morning, but it
went a little long and so Hermana Romeril and I missed our lunch appointment.
We thought that the elders had confirmed it, but they hadn´t really, so we ate
lunch in the pension. Which isn´t too bad, really. Then we took a little nap
because I wasn´t feeling too hot. After that, I was feeling a bit better and we
went to visit Vazquez again. We love that family so much!
On Saturday, we were able to go to the Cultural
Celebration in Córdoba! It was amazing!!!! The dances were beautiful! President
Uchtdorf was there and he spoke for a bit. It was kind of funny because he had
a translator but he didn´t know when the translator was done, so they just sort
of talked over each other. I love President Uchtdorf!!!
Sunday we were able to see the dedication. It was
broadcasted to our church. It was beautiful! After the first session, we were
about to walk to our pension, when Graciela (investigator of the elders) came. She
was expecting there to be church, but of course it was the dedication. She had
no idea. She left and Hermana Romeril and I went to go to the pension. After
walking a block, Hermana Romeril stopped and told me that we were going to do a
service and we went running after Graciela. Graciela doesn’t feel comfortable in
the church and so it is really surprising that she would come. We knew
something was up. When we caught up to her, (she thought we were crazy) we
started talking and Hermana Romeril shared a scripture. Graciela opened up to
us in a way that she never had to the elders. After talking to her for a while
we said a prayer because she was not feeling well. She said that she felt
better afterwards. It was a really amazing experience.
This work is amazing! I love it out here! I hope you all
are doing well and that you´ve had an amazing week! Keep on keepin´ on (as one
of my brothers always said)!
Love from,
Hermana Micaela Wilson
