Well once again, this past week we have been working really hard trying to find new people to teach! We have found a few people who have invited us to their houses to teach them but so far, no one is really progressing past the first few lessons. This area is a little harder than some to find people to teach. But as a trainer, I am spending a lot of time with Elder George helping him to get down the basics and learn his Spanish so that is alright!
One of the guys we found this past week turned out to sort of be a little interesting! So, he invited us over to his house and things looked like they were going to go pretty good with him. He seemed really interested in our message. After going into his house, he offered us some tea or coffee which is pretty standard for us to get offered, but of course we turned them down! As we sat down and started to get to know him a little before starting our lesson, he looked at us and the first question that he asked us was how we felt about someone killing someone else? Well needless to say we were not really expecting that, but tried to give him a good answer. While we were giving him the answer, he continued to talk to us and told us that his son had killed his mother with a kitchen knife a few weeks earlier in the house we were in. The spirited turned really bad and we could tell that we needed to leave so we wrapped things up and got out of there!
The highlight of the week was supposed to be the baptism of Nancy and her daughter, but unfortunately, she had somethings come up a few days before so we have had to reschedule her baptism for this coming Friday. Honestly it was kind of a letdown, but at least it didn’t completely fall through!
The other thing that happened this past week was that we had Zone Conference and interviews with the President. The Zone Conference was about obedience to the mission rules. I guess there have been a few problems around the mission, but don’t worry because I wasn’t part of the problem! During my interview with President, he told me that I was doing a great job and he was really please with the work that my Comp and I are doing!
Well, that is about all for the week. I love being here although I am getting tired of the heat every day! I love being a missionary!
Love
Elder Fawcett
