Hi,
More about life in a day... we do a WHOLE lot of walking around here. A normal day is walking a mile in one direction to discover that the people we made an appointment with don't want us to visit with them and two miles in the other direction to discover that the very friendly less active family from the day before closed all the windows and locked the doors as we walked up to their house. It's hard, but the people here are awesome and when we do teach lessons the people generally listen pretty well and are always welcoming. Sometimes even with food! One member figured out that I have a thing for coca y pan and almost always has some ready when we come by to teach her family and friends.
I really can't think of any amazing conversion stories that REALLY stick out to me because lately, we've been struggling to have investigators that stick. One thing that's been going on in my mission, however, is I've discovered a reason I'm here: I'm here to find all the guitars (there actually aren't many) and tune them and teach their owners about the gospel. Elder Pagoada found out that I play the guitar a few weeks ago while we were at recent converts house, I tuned his guitar and played a song for them. People here love it when you sing in English. Since that time, we've had a habit of finding casas with guitars. Last week we were tracting and passed a house with a guitar inside, Elder Pagoada noticed the guitar and said "vamos a ensenar aqui!" and so we did.
Mission life is pretty simple but VERY busy. I'm doing my best to remember things in the week to report to you guys!
I hope everything is going well for everyone back home, I did have a pretty bad fever on Saturday, so I had to go to the apartment early but for the most part I'm doing really well! I woke up on Sunday feeling much better! The Spanish is coming along, not as fast as I would like but it's coming.
Love you all!
