Week 28 - Así es la Vida

Hey everyone!  Everything is good!  Had a pretty crazy week this past week.  Lot´s of goods, some bads, but such is life!

So we did end up going fishing last week, but just me and my companion.  We found a place and we started to try to fish.  The fish just ate our worms and left.  They would bite, but we couldn´t catch anything.  Then, I fell in the river.  That was probably the worst/best part of the fishing.  It was funny, but I was all muddy and we were late to district meeting and I didn´t have time to change and our power was out.  What a day!

So this week something pretty cool happened.  Me and my companion were out in Chapajal which is  a little part of our sector that is pretty far out.  At least as far as we go.  Everyone who we had planned failed us.  So we decided to walk back to Barrio Nuevo which is our main proselyting place...  We happened to run into the other Elders there and they told us that we needed to go to the hospital to give a blessing to someone that was in a coma.

I find that super interesting and super cool!  If nobody would have failed us, we would have not had the opportunity to run into the other Elders for them to tell us that.  We have no means of communication when we leave our room.  We don´t have cell phones or anything like that, so that was a blessing in and of itself.

So we get to the hospital and we met our branch president there and went inside.  He kind of explained to us the situation and pretty much said that it´s a blessing of comfort.  So we went in and wow, it was crazy to see what I saw.  It was also a little traumatizing.  But when we gave the blessing it was super cool.  The next day she passed away.  She is in a lot better conditions now.  She was an amputee in a wheelchair, but she was super nice as well.  Good thing it´s not the end.

Well that´s about it for this past week.  We also have been working a lot but it´s just all the normal stuff you have heard.  Gloria is super close to baptism.  I just hope we can get her to that point this month!

Thanks for everything!  Love you guys! Have a good week!
