First we start of with 6´´30 in the morning! And there was an Hermana from Ecuador and she would walk up at like 5 in the morning and turn on all the lights haha Ohhh little Ecuadorians! Its funny because she was on the top of the bunk bed so the ladder would make a huge bang when she came down... so the rest of us decided to put floss and tie that sucker down! It actually worked!
Then we have been having a really cool week with my comp! Today was our very last day as companions :( She ´becomes´a latina haha she will be leaving the CCM in the next two weeks! Super sad because all the teachers told us that we were a solid companionship! They told us we both really taught with the spirit and they could tell we really cared about out investigators! That was a major boost! It is super hard to teach in Spanish because I want to say so many things, but my vocabulary is very limited. Its all good I will learn more!!
Lets see what else happened... Oohh we went out prosyletising (wow... idk how to spell that!) But yeah we just went outside and talked to peeps. For this time i got a different companion because Hermana Robison had already done that the last week and it was time for her to do it for FOUR hours!! Soo my comp was Hermana Hull!! It was uber awesome! It was funny because our teacher, hermana gomez asked us all to make a goal of how many people we wanted to contact. (This was for the missionaries who were actually in the field,,, we just got their info!) Anywho! Everyone was making goals and i told Hmn. Hull that we should do maybe 5 or 6. Then the elders decided they were gonna do that too! But no no no! we wanted to beat them!! Sooo we decided 7! Yeah. So we only had an hour to go talk to about 7 peeps... We had never every left the CCM gates which was holy bajollies i was so excited!! SO the first lady we talked to... nothing. She was ´nice´old lady picking potatoes and she kinda got mad at us... she was telling us that we shouldn't be telling her which religion she should be and that there is one God. Yeah I had no idea how to answer her! And my comp did not have the slightest idea of what was going on hahaha But we pushed forward! we looked and looked... Nothing. WEll I forgot to mention that right before we left out I decided we needed to say a prayer. And boy. that prayer worked! We ended up contacting TEN PEOPLE!! Handed out 2 Book of Mormons and oh man just handed some pass-along card things and a lot of little pamphlets! SO we beat our goal and we became the golden contactors haha It was kinda really hard at first to approach people and the jump right into the gospel, but we found out that once you start talking about families,, they would almost all the time stop and listen. I loved doing that! So that was a great time!! Ohh even better we beat all the elders and then we even beat some people that contacted for FOUR HOURS!!! So top notch team!!
What else happened... Ummmm.... OHHH my comp (my real one hermana robison) and I made a goal to contact someone outside the fence!! It was actually harder than you think!! Because it looks like we are in prison haha Yeah we decided that the >CCM is like a hamster cage. We have little hallways and we get an hour of gym time everyday. And yeah... BUT its all good. So my comp and i yesterday determined it was time to do our goal. The day was beautiful and sunny and the time was right!! SO THen we went and low and behold there was an old guy just chillin by the fence! Hohoho perfect time! We first said hello... he then SAID HELLO BACKKK! (THats a pretty big deal because people usually just nod and keep walking!) iT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!we talked for a while and then both of us realized we didn{t have anything to take his information!! SO then we told him to have a good day annnd then we went inside.. I turned to my comp and said... we have to go back and get paper or something. So we ran inside and i have some loose paper in my scriptures and we bolted back outside! He was still there whoooohhhhohohOH!! it was great because we got ALLL his info!! He was soo nice! And for that we were rewarded with chocolate! haha
Yeha so that was a pretty great week!! oohhh And today was especially fun!! We were able to go to the temple again! But this time it was only the nortes! All of the Latinos left early early this morning!! it was kinda sad because we all had actually gotten pretty close. They are all going to do so well! THEN we were able to go on tour!! We took a tiny bus... K traffic here... OMG I don{t know how people don{t crash every two seconds!! Insane! We were able to go to a church and it was really pretty! Then we went to the MUseum of GOLD!! Pretty intersting,, it was just like being back in jerusalem!! GO on adventures and learning stuff!
Yuppppp well I have tons more to write buuuut Here are some pictures!!
