Hello everyone!
This has been probably one of the craziest weeks I have ever
experienced on my mission for sure! Every
day of the week, something extraordinary HAD to happen! haha but that’s what
makes the mission fun right?!
So
on Monday, I had to travel from Bogotá to Neiva which is about a 6 hour bus
ride or so. Then when we got to our
house, but some sisters from the zone decided to change houses as well as areas
without asking the mission president for permission. So we had that bit of drama but they finally
gave in and gave us our house.
On
Tuesday, everything was going pretty decent, until we get a call from an Elder
at about 8:30 at night. He said his comp
had just crashed his bike. They threw
him in a taxi and drove to the hospital.
He said he looked like he just about died. So we were in the hospital from about 8:45
until about 10 at night waiting to see what had happened. He broke his clavicle. I had to wait outside with Elder Chavez (the
Elder that didn’t crash) while my comp went in to visit the injured Elder. Elder Amaya (my comp) stayed with the injured elder until 2:30 in the morning. Then he ended up taking a taxi to come home
and sleep. The next day, we were
supposed to have a zone meeting but it was cancelled due to the broken Elders
clavicle. We went back to the hospital
at 8 in the morning and we stay there until 11:30am, just waiting to pay for everything. The Elder is now okay, but for a while we
thought he would need surgery. No
worries! He’s a tough guy! haha.
That
Wednesday, I did a baptismal interview for a young girl. She was super awesome. At the end of the interview when I was asking
her who she wanted to baptize her, she pointed at me. I was a little surprised because I had just
met her but that’s ok. Well, she didn’t
end up getting baptized because her boyfriend wouldn’t let her. Maybe it’s just
not her time yet.
On
Thursday, we did a service project in the morning. It was pretty fun! The whole day seemed to be going great, until
we get a call from the assistants at about 9:50pm telling us there was an
emergency transfer. We had planned the
zone meeting to be Friday morning, but once again we needed to cancel it! So on Friday, we took the sister to the bus
terminal to send to Bogota. But later
that day we were asked to pick her back up.
Not sure what happened.
Also,
we met a lady that said she was supposed to get baptized the 8th or
10th. So we set up her
baptismal interview for Thursday but she didn’t show up. That happens though. We will help all that are willing.
Saturday
we FINALLY had the zone meeting! And it
went super good! It was my first meeting. I thought it went well and things
flowed smoothly…phew.
Sunday,
we had normal church. We had a lady
visit with her two kids. They have been by
before and have really liked it! We
taught them yesterday and they have accepted a baptismal date for the 5th of
November! We were pretty happy. The Lord’s work is so exciting! We are so happy for the work in this area! It’s going really well!
Well,
that’s about it for the hectic week! All
is good. Love you all! Thanks for your support! :)
