Welp I hit 10 months this past week. Time is flying. I have 14 months left and soon I'll have 14 months with only 10 months left...
This week was another tiring one but pretty solid one. This week we did consejo de lideres or leadership council. It was kind of weird since it was just all the ZLs and Hermana leaders trying to help the mission and think of ideas to help the mission out. So there's obviously really good ideas that we try and think of and not everyone agrees. I left with a headache and didn't really know what to think of it after. Something that was cool is that I was able to see a bunch of my buddies on the mission. Elder Velasco - my trainer for my first 3 weeks in the mission, Elder Bundy - my companion out of training and with a bunch of my past zone leaders, so it's pretty cool and good to see them and see how they are doing.
This week we also had an exchange with Elder Encarnacion from the Dominican Republic. He finishes this transfer but doesn't like people knowing how much time he has in the mission. It's quite interesting but we found 2 people that were pretty cool and open to listen to us and read the folletos. This week they ended up coming to church and liking it. Saturday night we were trying to convince them or help them to come to church and it was maybe that they were coming to church, but hey they came.
This week there have been quite a few funny moments just in the street and hills of 12 de Octubre and just kind of random. Everyone at the consejo de lideres was telling me how hard the sector is and how it's going so I feel pretty good that the Lord guided us to find those people and help them to church. Hopefully we can extend a baptismal date because it's been a fat minute since I have had a baptismal date.
Man the Utes are going through it right now but hey sigamos adelante. Time is flying, soon enough it'll be Thanksgiving, then Christmas ( a year in the mish)
Miss all you guys
