| Caroling in Tacuarembo 2017 Christmas |
To be honest this week has been pretty tranquilo. Not a ton
of new stuff has happened. It has been pretty hard to find new investigators
because everyone has been ´so busy´ for the holidays haha. Anyways, we did find
one awesome new investigator named Santiago. He is actually a reference from
Sebastian (his cousin) but we just started teaching him and he accepted a
baptismal invitation for Janurary 27th. He also came with us and Sebastian to
church on Sunday!
We have a new 80 year old investigator we are teaching who
is super catholic and has been for all her life. But she is very fascinated by
the BOM and has already read nearly all of first Nephi! She wasn´t able to make
it on Sunday because she was out of town, but she said she wants to come check
it out because I guess she gets bored in the catholic church. Hahaha that
really made me laugh :)
Sebastian is doing super well now that he was baptized last
week. Now that I just completed the BOM again before Christmas and am starting
over, I made a challenge with him to see who could read it first. He is
convinced he is going to win but we will see about that :) Loser buys the other
person ice cream at Grido hahaha.

New Years was awesome. We witnessed some bomb fireworks
again. It was incredible!! Anyways, that is about it for this week. I am super
happy after being about to skype with everyone last week for Christmas! I have
got the best family ever!
Sorry, I actually don´t have a ton of time because we had to
take like a 45 minute survey today during our writing time. I´ll just try to
make it quick. Sebastian, our recent convert is such a stud, he is doing really
well. He loves the missionaries haha. He has been reading the BOM quite a bit
now too. And at just 12 years old! He is fun to teach because literally every
time he sees us he gets suuuper happy. I think he just really looks up to us
because we are older. Haha to be honest we have quite a few little kids we are
teaching right now, and I am so bad at teaching them haha. It is hard, because
I´m not too creative. But it is all good.
Changes are next week. I kinda get the feeling I am leaving
but we will see. I really like this area a lot. This past week or two has been
pretty hard though because not many people want to receive us since everyone is
busy for the holidays. Hopefully the last week in this change, we will be able
to find more people to teach. I'm glad that the ward at home is doing
well.
