Hey fam,
The week was good, nothing too crazy here in Carlos Paz. We
found quite a few new people to teach, but once again nobody showed up to
church. It’s hard to work all week and then Sunday rolls around and
nobody comes, but we just have to keep our heads up and go work even harder
this next week. Monday night we had an FHE with a family, who surprised
us by inviting two of their friends to come and listen to us, it went really
well and we gave them both Books of Mormon with the commitment to read and pray
about it. Wednesday were English classes, we only had 2 students show up, but
all in all it went well.
Thursday we were able to have an FHE with the less active Family
Pelegri, and talk about the importance of having reading the Book of Mormon be
a daily habit that will help them. We are trying to help the dad,
Alberto, stop smoking so that he can be able to baptized his daughter when she
turns 8 in a couple of months. This weekend we were able to also have a
dinner with the Nielson Family, the RM who served here a few years ago who is
living here for a few months. Sunday we had several good classes, I
really enjoyed the class in priesthood that focused on "orgullo" or
being prideful. We talked that a lot of times the spirit of contention
comes from us being prideful. So it’s a lot better to be humble!
Things with my comp are going well, there are only 2 weeks left
in the transfer, so we are trying to go out with a bang and find lots of new
people to teach. He is going to play the piano in the talent show, I have
no idea what I am going to do. I plan on making cookies again, maybe that
will be my talent.
We didn't eat anything too crazy this week, quite a
few lunches and dinners of empanadas. A normal breakfast for us is a cup of chocolate milk or maybe mate. My favorite thing to do on pday is rest,
maybe take a nap, and write everybody who takes their time to write me. Today on Pday we went to the zoo in Cordoba and then played soccer with the
zone.
I am currently on intercambios cruzados in a different area, it is
exchanges with all of the zone. I am with Elder Flores from Mexico, the
elder who replaced me when I left Rio Ceballos, so we will have a lot to talk
about in the next day or so! I am looking forward to it. The exchange is from today until Wednesday.
They haven't told us anything about when we will have fast Sunday, before or after conference. I do
get to give a training to all of the stake youth next Sunday, they are having a
huge activity for future missionaries, everybody from ages 12-25, and the Stake
YM president, who lives in my ward, wants me and my companion to give a couple
of workshops. I hope I can be able
to help the youth, we are doing a pretty good job in the ward, so hopefully we
can make an impact on the stake level. It will be fun.
I am glad to hear that everybody is doing well at home. I
hope everybody has a fantastic week, and that Jake has a very Feliz Cumpleaños!
Love,
Elder Mangum
