Well, I was writing this email and then the lights went out. And lately, they've been coming and going for days at a time. So I thought I wasn't gonna be able to write. But then as we were leaving walking to go back to San Pablo from Malacatan we ran into this Internet cafe that had a ''planta'' or energy generator! So we are in that one right now and super happy that we get to write home!
In my letter, I asked if he made his bed every day. . .
"Mom. Did I make my bed when I lived at home? Haha just kidding! You would be so proud of me if you could see how some of the missionaries live here. The Latinos are usually hit or miss. But all of the ones in my house have been pretty decent. I clean the house every week, wash the dishes every night, make my bed every day, and sweep the floor around 4 times a week. You would be so proud! Sounds like everything is going well with everyone!
This week was insane as well! I'm going to apologize right away for no pictures because I forgot my cable to my camera at home;(. This week was crazy for real though! On Tuesday we got news of the changes in our district meeting. And Elder Lagos my companion and trainer for 3 changes got changed to go to Serchil which is waaay up in the mountains where it's super cold! He wanted to go say goodbye to all of the members and one of the others in our area. He went with another Elder and I headed out with Elder Toala. We only had one lesson in my area and then we went to work in his.
That's been the big thing this week. Presidente Ruiz gave us a challenge, if we could complete our goal as a zone or find 20 new people to teach each companionship in the zone we could make a zone temple trip! So we've been working super hard for that. On Wednesday we went to go drop off Elder Lagos to go to the change meeting in Reu. I stayed and worked with Elder Moreno who had his Birthday the same day. We also worked with Elder Bagley, his area is in San Rafael. They're both super cool guys! We made french toast for Elder Moreno's Birthday and then went to help him find ''Nuevos.'' We worked super hard in the morning and then headed to lunch where the people made a cake for Elder Moreno. The only bad part was for lunch they served us some Herbas. Just looking at them made me sick, but I pulled off some magic making them disappear into a napkin and into my pocket.
Then we went to the Church to pick up our new companions. I'm now with Elder Garboza. He's from Peru and holy cow he is incredible! He's such a good teacher and an awesome guy and a super good missionary. I'm so excited that he's gonna be my comp for this change! So we worked super hard on Wednesday but didn't find very many news. Thursday morning we had our zone meeting and then decided we would go help the hermanas find some nuevos the next day by having an Ataque de Area or area attack.
We all met up the next day in Malacatan and just went to work, everyone with a new companion. I went with Elder Goldsberry who only has one change in the mission and later with Elder Fickes. It was super cool and just in a couple hours we had met a ton of people! However, that only left us with a few opportunities to find and teach new people. We prayed and worked super hard and miraculously we contacted and taught 22 people the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. So now as a Zone we get to go to the TEMPLE!!!! Which is super exciting! I'm really excited! I don't know if you can tell...
But ya life is super good! We have run into a bunch of people lately so we have a ton of investigatores. But the most positive one is named Oralia. She knows everything is true and we are just waiting for her and her boyfriend to get married and then she's going to get baptized! Also, something super cool is happening this next week! We're having Elder Ochoa (70) come to speak to us as a Multizone Conference! So that's incredible and I'll let you know how it goes!
I hope that everything is going well at home! I'm doing amazing here. I'm super pumped for the opportunity that I have to work with my new comp. I know that this work is inspired and is the work of our Heavenly Father. This church is true and is the only one that has all of the truth in all of the earth. I'm sure of it. If you're not sure I challenge you tonight to go and ask our Heavenly Father in prayer. I know He will answer because He answered me.
I love you all and miss you a ton but I'm loving serving the Lord down here. It's changing my life every day!
Love,
Elder Pugmire
