Hey guys,
This week has felt so jam-packed and busy, but not very much has happened. My companion and I
cranked up the heat this week because it will likely be our last full week together. I love the guy, but it is really time to change the scenery. We had one day with 10 lessons! I love days like that. Everyone opens their doors, everyone is home, and the gospel is proclaimed to four or five people more than on a normal day.
I did divisions with one of the missionaries in my district. He is from Bolivia, and he is on his way out of the mission. He finishes February 2016. It was fun to work with someone with so much time and get to learn from him. I have spent the last 3 transfer periods training, and I almost forgot what it was like to NOT be the senior companion. I enjoyed just getting to sit back and let him be in charge for a few hours.
We worked a lot with some investigators that are preparing to be baptized the 28th of this month, one of which suffered a stroke in 2006. She struggles to speak, walk, and really just function on her own. We have been teaching her for a while now, and she is finally ready to take the next step into the waters of baptism. Over the course of the last few weeks we have been scrambling and scrambling to find people to take her to church in their cars. Here, having a car is a commodity that people just do not have. And if they do, they are very stingy about the gas usage and their miles. It is kind of frustrating,and at first, I just wanted to strangle these people until they would become Christlike and participate in some selfless service. In the end, I did not have to strangle anyone (I was close though haha) and one member decided to pitch in, and others have seen her, been filled with the spirit of Christ(mas), and now the members are in full swing. It has really been a miracle.
I hope you enjoy your week. I'm prayin for y'all.
Elder Aldrich
