But this week's been great!
My companion and I really have learned how to work a lot more and a lot better. We had crazy lesson numbers this week, just crazy. And this was good. Now, this week we want to get more lessons with active members present and we want to strengthen up this Branch a little. The Branch President and many of the members are really suffering some harsh family problems and we've just been kind of moving along with the work independent of the Branch, but it's time to solve that and strengthen Zion in all of her Stakes. So, I'll report back to you on that.
However, in the way of awesome people, our investigator Pablina had some awesome things happen this week. First and foremost, her boyfriend Virgenio moved out of the house so they could live the law of chastity! It's a miracle! Every missionary I've ever talked to has told me that it's impossible to have someone baptized from the situation they are in, but she's going to be baptized in three weeks because of this! He's moved to the area of the Assistants to the President, which is super Chuchi, so he gets the chapel which shares a parking lot with the temple and two of the finest missionaries in the mission as teachers. He's lucky. Pablina remained here and has accepted a date to be batpized between sessions of conference on Saturday, April 5th!!!! We might push that to the 12th so that she can be confirmed the day after her baptism, but it's going through!!! She has no barriers, and she's so humble and wants to come unto Christ! I look forward to helping her progress towards baptism for the short time I'll be here.
Also, Gonzalo came to church again! He's learning piano really fast. But, the cooles thing is that we met his girlfriend!!! She's only seventeen, but they have one child (about to have two) together and they have plans to be married. I know that the path they'll travel will be a tough one, but I know that they can grow and come to be sealed in a little over a year. I love them so much. We'll be visiting them both this week.
Stuff:
Zone Training!!! they dropped fat cane on daily planning. They showed me how to daily plan well and how to plan out a lesson more effectively. It takes a lot longer, but it really works, and because of it, we were working so much this week. I loved it. However, it means that we lost almost an entire day of work.
Then, the next day, we were moving boxes and had to sit in the back of a moving van... A sealed moving van... Without light...... An elder almost lost his eye from a package that slid back and smacked his face. I include pictures of this trip. :)
Furthermore, we've begun another stake choir, which means we lose all time on Sundays, but I get incredibly enjoyable choral training for a limited time from a man who knows well. It was brilliant.
So, that's my life and happenings. I'll keep you all informed of other things that go on. Feel free to send me wonderful things or demand pictures. I'm always up for sending more!
Also, the last picture is a Book of Mormon story. Which one?
I love you all,
Elder Harris
