Ok so good news monkeys are all much calmer now so we do have time I apologize for any complications that may have arisen because of the primate riots. So the last two weeks were good. So last saturday we had a zone attack or when all the missionaries go to a sector and work for a little bit. They all came to Cunco. Literally they contacted all of it. Super dope. But it was really good they did find a lot of people and so we are slowly finding out which ones are actually good and which ones really didn’t want anything and there are actually quite a bit of people who don’t exist. So working on that one. But it was super cool. Then that night we went to Meli to work. Had lots of people to visit including one guy who lives like 15-20 minutes walking outside of Meli. So we go and he is a super dope guy lots of questions but is super skeptical about all religion. He doesn’t really believe in the bible and is always asking like super deep hard question, but we always answer as simply as we can to help him and testify a lot. but so we did that then went back to an old lady we are teaching. Basically the opposite. Lots of repetition and everything about as clearly and simply as one can make it. But she is super nice. So we were trying to explain prayer to her and try and let her realize that it isn’t something written down. So trying lots of that. But we missed the bus from Meli to Cunco at 8. So acting under the assumption that there is a bus at 10 we start walking try hitchhiking and thinking if it don’t work whatever because the bus. There isn’t a bus at 10. So after like 3 and a half hours of walking our branch president calls cause he figures out what we did and starts chewing us out royally, and calls almost everyone of our ward to try and find someone with a car to come get us. so we walk...and walk....and walk....and about 1 someone gets us and we get to the house. So that was a fun day. And then in church the next day president chews us out hardcore in front of everyone twice and the hermanas in the ward. Well i was lucky to leave with my life. My comp of course doesn’t say a word and everyone just chews me
out then someone looks at him and asks why didn’t he say something and he says in exaggerated bad spanish well he is older than me i dunno. So they all return to me and treat him like he was innocent. Darn new kids. I still love him but dang it. But then wednesday we had interviews and that was cool. Got my temple recommend again. So I'm good now. And hermana bluth was teaching people to direct music and she asked if i knew how and i kind of chuckled and said yes i did so she had me show her a little. I explained moms story of callings in the church and she understood. Props to mom.
So other than that the week was long. Nothing real exciting until sunday when we had Maria (the old lady from Meli) come to church. So that was super dope that she could come and we were able to help her feel more at home and at ease with the church. It was great.
Last week heard a dope quote from Elder Hallstrom that goes what we are now doesn’t define what we can become. Really liked that. Made me think of the quote "The Lord doesn’t care who we were. Only where we are and, with his help, who we can become." The point of all the gospel is to change for the better (ex:Mos 3:19) so if you are the same person you were 3 years ago you need to change what you are putting into the church. So everyday be looking to change. Not necessarily become a cookie cutter mormon or a normal Christian but always be looking to change to be a better person, husband,wife,son, etc.. My thoughts that i share in the name of Jesus Christ.
Mom, sometimes in life the grass is just a little bit to high to see the hanging down things. Its times like that we have to move on and trust the spirit.
Questions
So dia de los muertos they don’t have and halloween yes but its not as big. Kids go around but more than anything its little kids and the teenagers go around throwing eggs at houses. Like its very common actually. Like everyone does it. I just don’t know sometimes. They do however have dia de los Santos. Its the day they all go to the cemetery and wash the graves of the family and stuff. Really big, like everyone goes to the cemetery. But that also means that there are a ton of people selling stuff so it almost turns to a quickly take care of the fam and lets go shopping. Sorry thats the only question i remember.
Love yall
Elder Galbreath
