Well my first week here in the sector of Villa Acero was pretty good! But it was definitely a new experience haha.... There were lots of little happenings. I do have plans for sending fotos, so ill let that do some of the story telling, and ill just tell some experiences too.
Well it wasnt until wednesday when I had my first day working in my sector haha. I showed up sunday night, short day of work. Monday was pday so we had another short day of work. Right away on tuesday we did a mini cambio because we had a baptismal interview in our sector (we had a baptism this week! haha Surprise!) So i didnt work there. And finally on wednesday I had my first full day of work.
I like my sector! Its pretty cool. Its windy cuz were soooomewhat close to the beach. Not to close but apparently its close-ish. So itll be sunny, but its also pretty windy which makes it a cool climate. a little somewhat else that made the day a little bit cooler was that at one point we were walking through a pasaje that was a little bit Flayte (that just means its a little poorer and a little more dangerous) anyways there were some flayte kids that were messing around outside of their house. And as we walked by we saw they had a huge bottle of water that they were throwing water and eachtoher and stuff. Just haivng fun. Anyways when we walked by, one of the kids came out of his house and yelled "AGUAAA!!" And threw a bunch of water on us. Twice. haha. So we got a little wet. haha it wasnt anything bad. Just some rowdy kid thinking he was funny haha. But we just laughed and plus it did feel kind of nice since we were in the sun and stuff haha. But so that was the first time thats happened to me in the mission haha...
Well another interesting thing was our day friday. In our ward are 4 missionaries. 2 elders and 2 hermanas. Thats new. Ive never shared a ward with hermanas before haha. Anyway. Like I recently had comp problems... the hermanas are ALSO having huge comp problems. And on friday they got in an argument, and one of the hermanas just took off. And so randomly on friday we got a phone call from one of the hermanas saying "uhhhh.... I dont know where my comp is."
soooo.... we had to hunt down both hermanas and get them together and try to help them out a moment. But in the end President ended up coming down to interview them....
And thats when I got my package! Yayyyy! Thank you mom and dad for the package! :D It was/is THE BEST. I LOVE MOM-MADE FOOD. AND MOM. hahaha thank you so much!
anyways. So that was a super interesting experience. It was super dramatic haha... yeah.
Which leads me to saturday! We had a baptism! yay! We had the baptism of this kid Luis. He`s 12 and is super cool haha. I just happened to show up for the week of his baptism. So i have pictures ill send.
Anyway im not a huge fan of baptizing kids like that... But luis really is awesome. it seems like he was super prepared. And his parents (who are not members) have become pretty interested in the church throughout the process of luis learning from the missionaries. The mom now says "Well since my sons getting baptized im gonna have to start accompanying him to support him and what not, and ill probably have to be baptized too." So we of course say "yeah! Exactly! Do it as a family!" haha so we`ll be working with them now.
and the other super crazy thing was that this sunday we had an emergency transfer in our zone... Nobody left, but we received TWO more hermanas... Who are also serving in our ward! So we have 6 missionaries in the ward, 2 elders and 4 hermanas! Que loco. And next week (During the real transfers) We`ll get two more elders that are coming into the zone. So we had to go pick up the hermanas and help them transfer their stuff and the whole thing.
and anyway... those were just a couple happenings from the week. It was an interesting week with lots of new experiences and stuff. There were just so many things but i cant even put them in a letter haha. Ill just have to share them with you after the mission.
BUT! All is well. I woke up pretty sick today and so im gonna go home and get some sleep... i need it haha.
But i love being a missioanry. I love what im doing and love learning new things and love serving the people. The gospel is the answer to everything! haha. No matter hwats happpening in life, just live the gospel.
And everybody follow the invitation of Elder Ballard and talk to ONE person before christmas and invite them to come to christ. It will make the world a better place haha.
Anyway. Love you and miss you. Have an awesome week.
Elder Heyman
