Ok, usually the internet
place we go to has shocky computers, but this one today is like electric chair
shock, so I will not send any photos this week. Instead, I will just
explain:
We are finally putting
into practice the free caricature stand. As it turns out, it makes
mornings very effective, perhaps the most effective time of day. That's
weird to say, because many missionaries would rather only proselyte after lunch
because people are usually cooking in the morning. Well, caricatures are
definitely more fun. We did it twice this week in the market. In
fact, we had a pretty spiritual experience with a pineapple vendor named Noe.
My companion lost his planner with Noe's phone number (we are too much
alike in that sense), so we hope we can find him this week.
We also found one more
family this week. We met one of them, a less-active member named Karina, on Sunday. On Thursday, for when we set the appointment, a lot of people showed up.
One of them is Karina's husband Alex. After having explained
everything, we were answering questions, but we noticed that Alex was
completely absorbed in the Book of Mormon we had left him. After leaving
the house, Hermano Rojas (it's nice to have a retired member who teaches
seminary to accompany you sometimes) said, "Well, he's going to be a
member. It's just a matter of when." We agree.
It's hard to think
that it has to end. But I guess that's the way it is. I finally understand
old people, I think. But I need to apply everything when I get back. It's
my greatest fear to come back, not having figured it out. I've seen it among
returned missionaries we've tried to activate. I'm so grateful for this
time, even though it's short.
Love you all!
