So... Elder Holt left. And Elder Paulson arrived! We were as excited as ever to be comps haha. It was way funny. When we saw eachother we were just like "Were compssss!!!" and gave eachother a big hug. So its way good to have Elder Paulson here. We get along way well. We were already friends before he arrived on tuesday! So he got here, and we just went right off to work.
Having been sick two weeks ago, and then having a "despedida week", we kind of had to start from scratch haha. So he got here and we just went out and started talking to everyone and searching and finding investigators. It went pretty well and we were able to find some good people!
We had an awesome experience with one of them. Its actually the girlfriend of Bryan. Bryan is the brother of little Paulita that got baptized a few weeks ago. We went to visit the whole family and only found Bryan and Daniela (the girlfriend) in the house. Daniela is not a member so we shared with the both of them. Long story short, we shared about baptism and invited her to get baptized at the end of this month. She said she obviously still didnt know, but during the lesson she felt the spirit really really strong and got way excited and emotional about it all, and so she accepted to be baptized the 22 of feb (my birthday! :D Hopefully it comes through... haha) and that she was super ready to do everything necessary to find out if thats what she needed to do! Shes been to church a million times already with the family, so shes pretty familiar with the church and now just needs to make the decision that its what the lord wants her to do! And obviously it is haha. But anyway. So were working with her now. Shes really great and super smart. And shes an english teacher here and actually has really good english. But speaks with a heavy british accent its way funny (thats the version of english they teach here. From England) But anyway. I digress. So were working with her as our main focus right now! Shes progressing really great. She has a few challenges, but thats where your prayers come in handy! Pray for Daniela por favor! So that shes willing to make all the changes necessary in her life to be baptized the 22nd!
So that was way good. But anyway, some other things from the week...
This is Elder Paulsons first cambio as a Zone Leader, so im showing him the ropes a little. Not that its too much, but its fun to help him out and show him what we do. Hes obviously super capo (smart) and picks it all up immediately haha. So its pretty easy! He`s a way good missionary too. A really good teacher, really hard worker, and really animated! So it will be a lot of fun being with him.
A funny thing... hahaha Elder Holt is so funny. So Elder Holt left a TON of stuff here at the house since he didnt need all of it and didnt want to bring it all home with him... Well. One of the things he left behind was... His alarm clock. hahhaa. Funny guy. So i guess that he set his alarm clock for 4:02 in the morning, and then hid it in our bedroom... hahahaha. So the first night we were home... Elder Paulson were woken up at 4:02 in the morning by Elder Holts alarm haha. So i had to get up and look for it!! It turned out just to be under my bed in the corner of the thing but i was so mad in the moment hahaha. But it was way funny. Good one Elder Holt! You got me bud! We miss you here in Villa Acero hahaha. (he also had snuck a phone alarm on my fone for 4:05. So i went back to bed, and then was woken up again 3 minutes later hahaha. Nice one).
So that was funny. Another new experience from the week was that the hermanas in our zone are searching for a new house. So ive never done anything that house to do with house searching or buying or renting or anything... So we offered to help them visit this house to see if they wanted to rent it just so they didnt have to do it alone... and so that we could learn :P haha. (is that selfish?) So anyway we went and visited a house to talk to the people and see if they were gonna rent it. Theres really nothing to report from the experience. Theyll probably move in. The people were nice. The house is wayyyy small. But the hermanas like it and want it so theyll probably go there. That will be fun having to help them move their stuff...... ha. Nah it will be fine. Anyways. Ive never done anything like that before so i just wanted to report that we did that this past week haha.
But anything more than that... Thats about it. More than that were just getting used to all the changes we have around here with new missionaries and new companions and the whole thing. So ¡en eso estamos! I dont really have any pictures from the week either :/ Sorry. I have one from Elder Paulson that we just quickly took a little bit ago. So ill send it to you i guess. Its not that great. Ill get a better one during the week haha. All is well and im loving the work! I love you and miss you all! Have an awesome week! The church is true, the gospel is restored, and Christ lives! Hasta la proxima!
