Happy 16 months to me! Whoo! I don't feel as old as I did
with 15 months, but it does feel like the end is much nearer. Weird.
Anyways, today was good, we waited another 2 hours for our
lunch, so I think we're gonna try and change who gives us lunch on Saturdays.
We spend WAY too much time waiting. And we got half a pound of rice, and a
chicken leg and a glass of Pepsi. Delish.

But then we ran over to have Coordinacion with Jose again,
and the elderes never showed up, so we rescheduled for tomorrow.
But then we went running around trying to find our
investigators and we challenged all of them to baptism and all of them said no. They don't actually say, "No, I refuse to be
baptized", they give some excuse about them already being baptized in
their church or evade the question and start talking about some random point of
the lesson and don't actually give a straight answer. So we have to explain
again about baptism and how it needs to be by the priesthood of God for it to
be valid, and then they go off about how awesome their preacher is. Yeah. Hna
Artica is learning patience! It's cuz it is SO rare that someone will actually
give a straight answer, ever, to whatever question it is. Or we explain
something 5 times, in different ways, and they still refuse to understand or
accept logic. I don't know. But we're getting really good at doing short and
simple lessons and inviting people to do a whole bunch of things. Mainly, read
the folleto, think about it for a bit, and pray and ask God if it's true. And
that they're invited to Church, Sunday at 8:00 am. So Hna Artica's got all that
down pat! She's an awesome person.
And it also rained on us in the afternoon, so we got to go
contacting and get rejected in the rain, just like in the movies. It wasn't
that awful, it just always makes me laugh. And that helps Hna Artica laugh, so
we're all good.
But at the end of the day, we finally found a mother and
daughter that are very receptive, so we were thrilled with that. We're gonna
try with them and hopefully this can work out.
And other than that, not much is happening, honestly. We're
still doing a lot of contacting, but we've narrowed down to just 1 part of our
area that we haven't visited yet, so we've almost got all our ground covered.
Then we'll be able to set certain days to go to certain parts so we won't have
to run from one end to the other. But we're getting there!
