La Paciencia

It´s been a pretty long week. But it was good. I learned quite a bit.

 

The other day we were in a packed bus going home, and there was a child that was SCREAMING the entire 45 minute bus ride. I looked at my companion and said ´Life is just a game of patience, and we have to decide if we are winning or not´. That was sort of the theme for the week. We´re still going strong, just a little bit frustrated because we haven´t been able to get investigators to progress. But it happens, I mean, you just gotta do your best. 

This week our stake started the ´Capilla Abierta´ (chapel open house) to get more people to come to hear about the church and stuff. The first one was alright, me and Elder Balmaceda stayed in the street inviting people in, and got rejected like 500 times haha. But there were a few people who entered the chapel, God bless their souls haha.

Last p day, I forgot to mention, we ate a bunch of hot dogs and played sports with the entire zone. It was pretty fun. Today is going to be really low key... we are pretty exhausted so we´re gonna go take a giant siesta in the pench.

I don´t know if I´ve mentioned this before, but I have to play the piano every week in Albardon. It´s pretty fun, but it´s also not fun sight reading a really weird hymn and then messing up hahaha but it happens. Yesterday we sang pretty common songs so all was well there.

Yesterday we had lunch with a less active family. It was pretty solid. I ate like 6 milanesas and I was WAY full, and then they brought out the dessert. It´s called batata, which is like this weird solid jelly that´s supposed to taste good, and they serve it with this cheese. Well I wanted to be polite and eat it but I honestly couldn´t. I hate batata and I was way full. but luckily one of the daughters realized and saved me by saying ´you don´t have to eat that.´ whew.

I am running out of things to say. Just remember, study the scriptures, go to church and say your prayers. that is the key to success.

Love,

Elder Anderson
