Tuesday
I
went on splits with E Mejia and we had 2 members come with us but then
we had the problem that we only had 3 bikes for 4 people but we made it
work out in the end.
Wednesday
So I had kidneys for
lunch today and they were not very appealing. They were chewy and had a
weird texture and taste but I ate them all. We taught 6 lessons today
and I felt like I spoke a lot in most of the lessons besides the one
where I knew exactly nothing of what was being said for a complete hour.
Thursday
Weekly
planning....... yep this still isn't very fun but I made it through
unscathed today. We have one investigator who is progressing really well
he reads a lot in the scriptures. We spent a lot of our day today
contacting new people which I am really bad at but it actually went
well today.
Friday
We
had to take E Barbozas bike to the shop today because he really screwed
it up. Needed a new front derailleur. Then we had a service project where
we cut grass with machetes which was pretty fun but what took 4 people 2
hours to do could have been done with in 30 minutes
with a weed whacker. We had the most colorful meal of the mission today
and E Barboza broke his newly fixed bike again, which is strange
because I ride my bike a lot harder than he does and I haven't broken
anything yet.
Saturday
Elders Mejias and Dobson both
ate really hot peppers today and had to drink an entire blender full of
banana milkshake each. We had a crazy good morning with 3 lessons before
3 but then in the afternoon almost all of our appointments fell though
and we ended up riding around the entirety of our area, Also I had what
are supposedly the best empanadas in Salta and I ate like 15 of them.
Sunday
Well
it was my first birthday in the field and I got water ballooned by the
other elders and I opened my presents from the MTC. We had one investigator
come to church and 2 really awesome lessons in the afternoon. I also
ate an entire bag of yummy cookies for lunch, so all in all it was a
pretty good birthday.
Well I just want to end by bearing my
testimony that this church is true and that there is some real power
in the Book of Mormon and if you read a little bit each day you will be
able to see the blessings in your life.
Love everyone lots and miss you all so much,
Elder Black
