Last Monday was a pretty normal Pday. Like I said, we went to a fair thing and bought stuff, and that basically all that we did. We had some visits at night that went well and we had a good noche de hogar.
Now Tuesday was a really good day. I taught a good district meeting talking about diligence and obedience, which I hoped would help correct some of the problems we are having here in the district. Afterwards we had a really good lunch appointment to get us some good energy for work. We began working, which involved a lot of tracting and contacting as there is still not a whole lot to do here in the area, and it was pretty good. We talked with a lot of people and we were able to get a good amount of lessons taught as well. We found an older woman named Alejandra that weighs a good 350 lbs, and she has read the entire Book of Mormon wants to get baptized, but she can't walk, or get to church, so we are trying to figure out something with her. So the day wound on and we were getting toward the end, and my companion just wanted to go back home, but I kept wanting to work as we still had a good amount of time left. We contacted a lady, who wasn't too interested but gave us a reference to a house behind her. So we went and contacted it and I swear man, that the guy we found is pure gold. His wife as well. His wife has been searching for a church and asked God to help her a while back and she prayed before opening the bible and opened straight to James where it says "One lord, one faith, one baptism" or something like that, and she has been looking for the "one fatih" ever since. He is also trying to figure out what's up with his life recently, and we testified that it wasn't coincidence that we came when we did, and that we were guided there. He believed it was true and I'm sure he could feel the Spirit. So we left him a folleto and set up a return appoinment.
Wednesday sucked, and that's all I'm going to write.
Thursday was good but not nearly as good as Tuesday. We did a lot of return visits that we had set up on Tuesday and weeded out a lot of the not potential people and seeing who could really progress. We had another good lunch cita, which makes me happy.
Friday not good tampoco.
Saturday was really good as well and we got to talk to our golden investigator again. We didn't even get a chance to explain anything before he started asking us question on what he needs to do to repent and all that stuff. He is awesome, hopefully he keeps progressing.
On Sunday, we also had a broadcast stake conference for all the stakes in Paraguay and Uruguay. President Monson presided and Elder Walter F Gonzalez of the Presidency conducted. Some other people were there like Elder Neil L Anderson of the Twelve. Everybody spoke in Spanish except President Monson, but for that we went to another room that had the broadcast in English. All the talks were good and many people enjoyed it. I also saw many people from my old area because it's the same stake, so that was cool as well. After going back and doing studies, we left of divisions with Youth from the ward and we had a good time and got a ton of work done in between the 4 of us.
So yeah that was the week. I'm kinda struggling with my comp but I'm trying to work things out and see how I can help the situation. But over all I think all of the difficulties are helping me grow a lot. I feel that recently I have been learning a ton about myself and what i need to do in life personally, in the mission and for the real life. All really good things.
Also, in other news. The Local companion that I was with in Areguá, Ernesto Patiño got his mission call and will be going to the Mission Chile Santiago West, and will be going in November, so I was happy to hear about that. Cool stuff all around. So my week was really good in some aspect and not so hot in others but overall things are going well.
Also, 15 months.
Love you guys, have a good week.
Elder Treviño
