No milk? Mom,
no milk? (I told him
that I never go to the store and that never buy milk anymore since no one
drinks it!) Don’t worry - here we don’t drink much
either. We have resorted to boxed milk, and we usually drink about half a
gallon a week. I’m not really sure what we eat, but we´re still living, so I
guess we must be eating enough. ;)
But
everything is good. Yes, I’m still here with Elder Simmons, my little boy.
Gosh, he´s so much fun. We decided to put our study desks in our bedroom so we
could use the AC unit during our study hours, so we had to make ourselves some
bunk beds. You wouldn’t believe how much more room we have for activities -
such as planning, praying, reading the scriptures, etc.
The best thing
that happened to me... well, since we had transfers, and we also had another
area open in the zone, we split the district, and I became the district leader
of 2 groups of sister missoinaries. So Im the DL of my area, and 2
companionships of sisters. You can call me the Relief Society President. It’s
cool, just different. I know for a fact that sisters work a little different
than Elders, so it will be a change of pace. I’m glad to be able to serve the
other missionaries though. It will be fun.
And looks
like Kenzie had ANOTHER great birthday. I’m a little sad that this is the
second one I´ve missed. It really doesn’t feel that I’ve been gone that long.
Right? But I guess I have. I think she had the same cake for her last birthday
too...
Anyways, this
week was an adventure. Just like every week. So we went to
Laguna Blanca for District Meeting, and we enjoyed a variety of foods from corn
dogs to tacos to celebrate our culture. It was pretty cool, and we enjoyed
ourselves. I’m super sad that I won’t be able to go there anymore with the change
in the district, but we can still buy bananas here in Clorinda.
My son also
gave his very first blessing in Spanish. I have converted my "hold to the
rod" necklace into a vial holder (I have the oil around my neck now)
because we´ve given so many blessings recently. I love giving blessings.
They´re just so spiritual. But yeah! Elder Simmons got to give his first,
I was so proud! #prouddadface
On Wednesday,
we also had super good day. We got to give a handful of blessings, and I’ve
really learned the power of using the BoM in our teachings. So this week we
read the story of Christ coming to the Americas with a few people and it was
very powerful. It helps them understand how Christ established HIS way
especially in verse 28 when he says that there’s no more need to fight over
what is right, because I just taught you. We also used the example of the
2000 Stripling Warriors. It fit perfectly to a family we are teaching, and it
was great to just sit and feel the spirit in their home.
We also go a
little bit of rejection this week. We knocked a door, and this lady opened up
her door and said "No me gusta los Mormones" (I don’t like Mormons),
I said "well, it’s a pleasure to meet you too!" She didn’t think it
was funny. So we took off. Maybe another
day. :)
As for investigators,
we have this part member family that we´re working with. They just moved back
here from Buenos Aires and he is now preparing to receive the priesthood and
she is planning on being baptized! They need to get married first, but hey!
We´ll keep you posted!
Love you all,
Keep
laughing.
NO WORDS.
Elder Harris III
