Sorry
this is getting to everyone late and that I don´t have time to do
personal emails to everyone, but the internet here in Itacoatiara died
as off yesterday so I don´t have much time to write!
So
this week was
pretty normal here in Itacoatiara.
Monday, Elder Rodriguez and I built bunkbeds to put up into our
rooms. We took our two beds which were
the same and drilled holes in the bottom and top of them to put in pegs
of wood
and then stacked them up. It took a
little bit longer than we thought b/c first, the drill bit that we
borrowed
turned out to be a concrete drill bit, not really built for wood at all,
so we
ran back over to the members house and traded out the drill bit.
Finally as we were finishing up drilling the
holes, on the second to last hole, the drill it broke in half. It was a
little
discouraging to say the least, but using the two broken halves we
managed to
make the last hole and finish up the other, so it all turned out okay.
Tuesday was district meeting so I got to give
a District Training about how to invite.
Wednesday was normal, didn´t have any huge that happened that day.
Thursday was divisions. I got to spend the day with Elder Vergara who
is one of the Zone Leaders here in Itacoatiara out in his area in Novo
Horizonte. It went well, nothing huge
happened but it was cool to leave my area and see a little bit more of
Itacoatiara. That night the assistents got to our house at 2am after making a 4
hour bus ride out to Itacoatiara from Manaus.
On the way their bus had broken down, and they managed to bring their
bad luck with them when they got to our house.
The moment they got here the
power went out which has actually been happening quite frequently here. Energy is not something that you can depend
on here. It has a habit of leaving for about half an hour to an hour. This time it was for about an hour and a
half. Saturday was the all awaited
Interviews with the President and Zone Training. It was one of the best trainings that I´ve
been to on the mission and I really liked.
Talked a lot about the Atonement and the importance of our investigators
understanding the importance of the Atonement
in their lives. I´ve been able to do a
little bit of study about the Atonement and it still blows me away of the
importance of the Atonement in our lives.
It is incredibly important in the lives of everyone of us. Super good training. My interview with Pres. Castro went really
well and he is a really good Mission President.
The Training went until 4:30ish so the rest of the day was running
around to get everything ready for Sunday.
Sunday was pretty normal except for the Pres. and Sister Castro visited
our Sacrament Meeting and each one gave awesome talks. It was an awesome week!
Hope that everything is going great for everyone back home. Hope that
everyone has a great week and hopefully next week everything will go
right!
