On Thursday we had another Zone Conference. President Goates taught us a cool way to get investigators to church. We used it on a new family that we found a week ago and the totally said they would come but they didn´t. But that´s life. The Zone Conference was pretty good, and the food completely destroyed me, I was sick for the weekend but today I feel good.
So on Saturday we had the Christmas devotional in Rivadavia. It turned out good. I had to play the piano for a ton of Christmas songs for a bunch of choirs, it was cool. Then i was volunteered as the piñata boy because I was the tallest one there, I had to fool a bunch of blindfolded Argentines to not let them hit the piñata. It was fun. But, Rivadavia is super far away, (2 long bus rides) so we got back to the pench at like 11, and we had a meeting with the stake presidency at 7 am. But everything turned out fine.
Investigator update. Well the Herrera family is doing well, they just gotta come to church once more (Christmas will be hard) and they can get baptized. Yesterday we visited them and they gave us a bunch of grapes. The grape season is here, TONS of grape fields in our area getting ready for the harvest. We were supposed to have a baptism this week but Julian, the grandson, didn´t come yesterday. So we´ll keep working with him. We found a pretty cool family called the Flia Gonzalez. They have 5 daughters ranging from 1-11 years. they aren´t married (surprise!) so we gotta get on that. Other than that we´ve pretty much dropped the rest of our investigators. So yeah.
Yesterday at church I was playing the piano, todo tranquilo, (all normal) and we were singing the first noel, and i totally thought there were 3 verses so when we got done I just kept on playing and I felt really dumb. Oh well.
The other day I did a baptismal interview for this 9 year old. When I asked him about the word of wisdom he said ´you can´t smoke... you can´t do marijuana, uhhhh and no cigarettes or alcohol.´ hahah good job dude.
That´s probably it for this week. I hope you all have a very merry christmas and remember what it´s all about!
love,
Elder Anderson
