We had our P-day changed. Yesturday we had to travel to Resistencia to have interviews with President Patania. Usually we have do interviews with Multi-Zone conferences but this transfer is different because Elder Packer of the seventy is coming to the mission on the 26th. So it is a little different . But the trip was super fun! We left reconquista at 12pm and got back to reconquista at midnight.... a little tiring. I got to talk to pres. about the work in our area... it is really stagnant and not progressing. I have 8 weeks here in recon and we havent had a single investigator Needless to say I have been a little dissapointed and frustrated in our productivity. So hopefully we can make some changes soon.
But this past week was fun. We were finally able to get out and find 4 new investigators and put some new faces in our daily routine. There is honestly a lot of potential right now with a couple of families we have found. But to continue with the YSA Drama for this week, Lucas Vergara received his first church calling. As a member of 7 weeks, he is now the new Branch Sercretary. AND, he dropped the bomb that he wants to serve a mission!! Woah!! So here in 11 months, Elder Lucas Vergara moyses will be entering the MTC! A little ironic though because Carla (his girlfriend) is filling her papers for the mission. So i think there was an influence there. And onto the more pressing DRAMA, one of the YSA members(pricila, from the 2nd branch) is accusing another member(cesar, from the 1st branch) of being gay.... this and other accusations has caused the branch president to pull us missionaries aside to try and help of some of these members(Pricilia and her family) to not judge like they do. And honestly, even though Cesar does have to vocal tones that would cause one person to think that, I really think he isnt like that. And plus, Cesar attends church every sunday and pricila.... sometimes... so who is really winning? But we passed by the family of pricila and shared a couple thoughts that had a hidden message that they shouldnt judge others and should focus on the things they need to improve on. After our spiritual thought, the father of the family declared, ¨wow... gracias elderes, me llegó lo que nos compartió¨ or in translation, he understands now that judgeing others because they sin differently than he does is NOT okay. so that was the drama of this week.
But yeah that was the week for me!! Productive in some ways, in others way no... but we continue fighting. I love you all and hope you have a great week.
