My District
In
this area the members are not very supportive of us. :( Maybe 3 times a week we
have lunch from the members, but they just give us something to go and we eat
it in the pension. This past week we ate ravioles, milanaisas (like a chicken
patty), eggs with squash, rice, and chicken. If we have to cook, we eat lots of
eggs with guacamole, rice, salads, or tortillas. For breakfast I am eating
granola, oatmeal, eggs, or yogurt, and we just eat an mandarin orange with a
cup of herbal tea for dinner. We have a cook book in every pension in the
mission so this week we planned to make empanadas, sub sandwiches, homemade mac
and cheese, and hamburgers to change up the menu a little bit because only one
member is going to give us lunch this week. More ideas would be helpful! It
doesn´t bother me too much that we don´t have lunch- it is the hardest on
Sunday. At times I wish we had better relationships with the ward- missionary
work always works better when the members work with us. But I like that I can
choose the food I eat so I can maintain my weight more easily. I am trying to
limit how much sugar and wheat I eat.
And yeah we give out
Libros de Mormon in the street in our contacts- Hna. Rivarola and I with the
ETMs gave out 40 this week. We offer them a pass along card first and if they
show a little interest we give them a book too. President Calquin wants us to
flood our areas with El Libro de Mormon.
This week with Hna.
Chaffin and Hna. Ochoa was a bit hard- we worked a ton talking with the people
in the streets but we only found one new investigator. Our other investigators
aren´t progressing either- it is hard find them in their houses to have lessons
with them. It was a bit frustrating but I have the peace of mind that we did
everything in our power and that no effort is lost. God sees all of our work
and sometimes the blessings come in different ways than we expect.
I am super grateful
for my sweet companion, Hna. Rivarola. Without support from the members and
rejection from the people everyday, she is the friend that makes me laugh and
together we can make it through the hard times.
Romina (one of our wonderful investigators) and her family!
The next week will be
better! We have the other ETMs with us- Hna. Lopez and Hna Davis!

To answer your question Mom: Okay the fulfilment Center pays well at least! I was thinking about whether or not I should work or not- I don´t know if the amount of money I would earn would be worth more than the time I could spend with the family. Maybe I should just be at home to help around the house, organize everything for college, and spend time the family. It depends on how much you and dad are able to help pay for college too. Maybe it´s better that I work part time to make connections for the summer and gain a little cash. I am willing but I just don´t want to lose time with the family or make things more complicated with transportation. Just my thoughts...indecisive as ever. :)
