February 11, 2013

Just another week GONE from my life in the mission. It still hasn't become a reality that I'm going home, and I don't think it will be until about February 27th or 28th, when I "should have" gone home. Then I will have a week left and any plans we make for the following week I will sadly have to say... "I'm not going to be here". Wow, that actually was hard to write, and kind of "hurts" my heart. It's a weird thing to try to explain. But it's definitely not anything I enjoy. This last week we tried a few times to visit Noemí and when we finally found her she was actually a little mad saying we had "abandoned" her... but she just wasn't home when she said she would be. So, we set up a cita for the next day, and when we showed up she told us that she was heading out to get ready to finally leave and go with her "husband" for a month and a half... she won't be back until about the end of March. With that being said it was a literal "goodbye" to Noemí, whom I will probably never see again. It was a sad reality, because she had been progressing so well. 

Tuesday held quite a few surprises! In the morning we had a cita with a man named Orlando. In few words, it was a very unproductive cita. He doesn't want much to do with the Gospel in his life. It's sad, but true. In the afternoon  we went to teach a less active woman named Bruna, and her husband is not a member. He hasn't wanted anything to do with us. After about 30 minutes of talking with Bruna, her husband told us that he wanted to quit drinking and that he wants to listen to us! We taught him on Tuesday, Wednesday, saw him on Friday and Saturday and he came to sacrament meeting on Sunday!! It was GREAT!! 

Time is running out SUPER fast!! On Wednesday we had zone meeting and I gave a small bit about companionship study. We had some good lessons that night and Elder Hill set a fecha with Jose!! AWESOME!!!

Thursday wasn't the most productive day, but we had a great lesson with familia Pop Jota!!!

Friday I did divisions in La Libertad... a little too personal for a group email.

Saturday we had a really good lesson with familia Morán. The 2 parents want to go to church, but they want their daughter to be okay with it too so that they all go together. We need a miracle!!

Sunday... Not too productive. We had a nice 2 hour long companionship inventory. Too personal as well.

Things are goign well here in Sayaxché! Nothing we can't handle! Tomorrow we have interviews with President!

Love you!

Elder Andrew A. LaPray
