We got some new ward missionaries this week that are really excited to help us out. One of them is named Hermana Cristina and she is always helping out the missionaries. We visited her earlier in the week and explained her new calling and we have already visited some investigators with her. She was also really great in the weekly coordination (more on that in a second).
On Wednesday we had our district meeting and after got the worst tacos that I have had here. They weren't totally bad, but they were almost 100% french fries and corn tortillas, not something you expect when you order tacos de res.
Now on to the coordination. Boy was it an interesting meeting. We started out like normal, a hymn and a prayer and then the new ward missionaries had some stuff to say. One of the new ward missionaries is a Hermana who is around 90 years old, but has a ton of energy and is ready to help us. She went to town on all of us saying that when we have baptisms we need to make the baptisms special (which I totally agreed with) and we need to gift them scriptures and such. After we went on like normal until we got to one investigator named Arely. She has all the lessons and all the asistencias, but she has seem some things in sacrament meeting that she doesn't like. When we said this, our ward missionary leader asked what it was and we told him that she has a problem with seeing people kissing their girlfriends during sacrament meeting. This is the part where Hermana Cristina came in and totally backed us and the investigator up. It's gotten a little out of hand here and the truth is its pretty distracting when there's about 5 couples making out when i'm trying to take the sacrament. We didn't stay on the subject too long because our mission leader was quick to change it and his advice was "If we want to see change, we need to change ourselves first." I didn't really understand what he was trying to say, but hopefully me and my companion won't be kissing any girls next week in church. All in all it was a pretty lively coordination, but we made some good plans and i'm excited to work with these new ward missionaries.
Not much else happened this week. We talked with our server in the restaurant where we eat Saturdays and we have an appointment to teach him and his wife tomorrow. He is a really great guy, so I hope that he accepts our message.
That about sums up the week.
I'm a little short on pictures too, so I hope you like what I got.
Adios
