Wednesday, June 15, 2016 -- Month #15 - Week #70 - Day #485 - Las Flores, Villanueva, Cortes

I would like to start by saying that I am currently eating a bowl of beef ramen with lime and chile and some of the dried seaweed my family sent me and I feel very happy inside. It's a nice variation from the egg I always toss in, and it makes me feel like I'm eating in a nice Asian restaurant. So that was my big news of the day!

But today was good, we walked around a lot as well, but around 4.7 miles, so not as crazy as yesterday. Our legs and feet were still sore, though. But it made me think of the pioneers, actually, and I deeply respect them. We have the modern blessings of good shoes and only hauling around a few pounds of scriptures and purified water and umbrellas, not all your earthly possessions in a handcart. And it's not snowing and we're not traversing mountains in unknown territory, with unfriendly people that would kill you if they saw you. And we have bug spray to help prevent so much diseases. So I consider myself to be very blessed, actually. And the most we walk is 6 miles in a day, and they walked more everyday. So that was my main thought of the day, apart from trying to teach the Gospel, of course.

But we only had 3 citas and the rest of the day we just went around contacting people. We also found a few inactive members, so that was good. But mostly just walking around trying to find someone that would be willing to listen to us. There are some hard people here, very stuck in their religions.

Common response to us asking if we could talk with someone is that they go to a different church. Well, the Gospel applies to everyone, not just us as missionaries, and not just the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And it's actually a good idea of you give us 20 minutes to explain some things to you. But it just makes me a little sad how disinterested some people are. Well, a lot of people, actually.

In all our wanderings we found some more churches that people made (Mom, do you know how long my list is now?  I'm guessing it's somewhere around 80 or so churches by now?)

- Festival de Canto, Tiempo de Alegria
