18 December 2017

Well, nothing too spectacular happened this week. So much so that I forgot to get pictures. (Sorry Mom.) So here's a picture of Elder Lowe (not my companion) looking surprised.

​The most exciting thing that happened this week was probably our top investigator who was going to be baptized this week texted us and said that she was going to follow her culture of worshiping saints rather than be baptized. Either that or that was last week and I simply don't remember when it happened. Still, it wasn't fun. On Mondays we don't have anything to do out here, so my companion and I played Risk where I lost 13 consecutive dice rolls in a row. I was done after that. Today we're having a zone activity that none of us are excited about because it'll basically just be hanging out at a stake center really far away that we don't have enough miles to go to. When we got to this area on December 6th, the previous elders had already used 694 of the 1100 miles we're allowed to go for the month in the car. It wasn't for good reasons, either. They just spent the last few days driving around the area (which is pretty sizeable) visiting members, hanging out with them, and saying goodbye. So we don't have any miles left for the car, and zone activities are mandatory. Hopefully the car doesn't get taken away. We've already explained the situation to the assistants, so probably not.

Friday was pretty fun. We had a ward Christmas party that we invited tons of investigators to, but none of them showed up. However, we did have a less active/part member family in our area show up, so we got to give them an impromptu tour of the building, which is brand new (less than two months of use) and we got a return appointment with them. Hopefully it'll work out well. We did a nativity where the other elders had to be two of the wise men.

On Sunday we had a Christmas program. It was really cool, and I got to sing in Spanish with the rest of the Spanish group. We had two investigators there and they loved it.

Well, that's all of the news I have for this week. Have a great week!
