Semana Santa
Holy Week
Elder Read says they have had another good week, just like every week on the mission. This is a very special area but it needs a lot of hard work for them to achieve their goals, and they are disappointed when they don't achieve them. At the moment they've got just six, three of which they found last week. But, he says, they need far, far more. He and his companion want to see at least one baptism together, and it was for this reason that the mission president sent them to Huércal Overa: to have baptisms, which the branch really needs.
The branch has a new mission leader, who is a returned missionary and is engaged to one of the young ladies in the branch, which is why he has moved there. He is from Barcelona and knows some of Elder Read's former companions.
Monday wasn't a holiday in Spain, but virtually all of last week, Holy Week, was, and they saw various processions, which were lovely, which we can see from the photos. He tells us not to be frightened by them. They're not real.
The weather is getting hotter and Elder Read is beginning to get brown.
He says that his accent is getting more and more Spanish, but never mind. He's not changing it.
Last week they taught over 20 discussions, the majority of which were to members as the branch president had given them a list of those who needed strengthening. They have therefore been working with that. They only taught five discussions to investigators - but this week is going to be better.
Yesterday they were going to go shopping for a sister who is ill - "a housebound member." And they were going once they had finished doing their e-mails, which they are doing at the chapel.
Elder Read finishes by saying he hopes we had a good week last week and that this one will be equally as good.
Elder Read dice:
Bueno, hemos tenido una semana buena, como cada semana de la misión :) jeje. Esta en una área muy especial. Pero tenemos que trabajar mucho para conseguir nuestras metas, y nos desanimarnos cuando no las logramos. Solo tenemos como 6 investigadores, Hemos encontrado 3 nuevos esta semana pero necesitamos MAS. ¡¡MUCHO MAS!! Tenemos que ver por lo menos un bautismo juntos. Esa es la razón porque el presidente nos mandó aquí. Para tener bautismos. Los bautismos que la rama necesita.
Tenemos un nuevo líder misional. Es un misionero retornado. Está comprometido con una de las chicas de la rama. ese es porqué vive aquí. es de Barcelona, y conoce algunos de mis ex-compañeros.
No es verdadero
It's not real
Hoy - lunes - no es festivo. Pero casa toda la semana pasada sí jaja. era semana Santo. vimos algunas procesiones. Son muy bonitas. les estoy mandando fotos. No se asustan por los disfraces. No son KKK.
El calor ya está empezando. Y se nota. Me estoy bronceando jaja :P
Estoy notando que mi accento se está poniendo mas y mas español jaja :P espero que no les importa jaja :P Pero evito cecear jaja.
Eset semana tuvimos mas que 20 charlas. Pero la mayoría a miembros. El presidente de rama nos dio una lista de miembros que necesitan fortaleciendo. Entonces hemos estado trabajando con ella. Solo tuvimos 5 charlas con investigadores. Pero está bien. esta semana va a ser mejor.
