We had to go to Valley Fair mall (little Mexico) Saturday, and found BOCA jr jerseys. So Sofia and Jose posed for a pic to send to Alex.
I heard the stories about Nikki and Kevin. Those guys are just horrible at vacation haha! Austin and I are gonna show those guys whats up after the mish ;)
So this week... totally sucked!!! We worked hard all week, rackin' in 90 contacts, and saw almost no exito (success). What gives me hope though, is that the hermanas also had a hard week last week, and this week they're slaying, so I'm keeping my head up for my last week in Gallegos. I'm still not sure where I'm going next, but I talked with President, and he said I'm out of here for sure this time around, which makes me a bit sad. Let's finish it good!
This week... What happened... We literally contacted all week. It was not fun! Plus, for two of the days, it rained a ton, and for the first time since Tolhuin, I double layered my puffer jacket with my Mr Mac overcoat. All day out in the rain was a party. I would send you guys pics, but this computer is dumb, so you'll have to wait till next week :(
Aaaaaaanyways, my miracle of the week would be Viviana. We were contacting on Saturday, and we started to contact this lady Viviana. I gave a decent contact, and then she was like "Yeah, come on in, this interests me". We were left boquiabiertos (with out mouths open)! I was almost like "Excuse me ma'am, you're supposed to say "I'm busy" or "Otro dia" LOL! But no, she let us in and we taught a good lesson. On Sunday, we passed by, and she was actually ready to go to church. She told me that she had read the introduction of the Book of Mormon, and all the testimonies. Then, as we were driving, we saw Carlos walking, and picked him up, and she totally knows him! She stayed all three hours, liked it, and were gonna be going back this week! We may not have had a lot of success this week, but I'm so grateful that we at least found someone! So that was great!
Carlos is doing really well. He recieved the Aaronic Preisthood yesterday, which was really lindo (beautiful). The branch even had a future elders class this week because we've baptized so much in these months that now they have a class. Sacrament Meeting was also really cool because out of the 55 (mas o menos (more or less)) people that attended, 20 were either recent converts or investigators! So go Distrito Rio Gallegos! The Zone is also baptizing a lot right now, and we'll probs be the Bautizona (highest baptizing zone in the mission) this month. I'm glad that Elder Allen, Carlos, and I contributed :)
Anyways, I had a rough week, but it could have been worse. The best was that when I was reporting the numbers, which were not great, my Zone Leader was like "Hey Jimenez, don't worry man, even though I'm seeing these numbers, I know how you are. You had a hard week, but we don't have to worry about it." Reading my mail today really strengthened me, and now I feel ready to face next week! Really, to all that emailed me this week, thank you (Especially Dad (like always), Grandma, and Grandpa) Your emails really strengthened me! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Have a great week, hopefully I'll be having a good one too! I LOVE YOU MOM!!!! -Elder Jimenez
