Hola chicos y chicas, que tal, como están todos ustedes?
Bueno, this one's gonna be a bit quick, because it's late and this week was kinda uneventful, but let's go, aguante el Señor.
We've been focusing more on members this week, which has been pretty fruitful. We got in contact with a recent convert that hadn't come to church in a couple weeks and we've found some inactives as well, a few aren't interested like at all, but one was like, 'A while ago, I was giving you guys lunch, can you add me back to the Relief Society chat so I can do that again?' Absolutely the heck we can. And did. Hopefully lunch happens soon.
Anyways we also passed by active members to share just a little scripture and spiritual thought, and that has gone great. We've gotten a few references and some church related tasks to help out with callings, but the best part to me is getting to know the members here better. They're all so nice and willing to help, I wanna be like them when I grow up.
We did divisions with the Zone Leaders, and I had the privilege to work San Martin with Elder Jenkins. It was great, we passed by a few active members, found some awesome people, and got to have a pretty deep discussion about prayer and scripture. I also enjoyed learning Elder Jenkins' manner of contacting, which in comparison to mine is a lot more about showing love to people than finding problems to fix, which is something I'd like to apply better to my own work.
It rained a lot this week. Well, maybe not a lot, but there was a constant mist in the air so everything was just...wet. Mosquitoes also started coming out because of that, and fun fact, vanilla extract works pretty well as bug repellent. I had heard rumors about it a while ago, gave it a try, and hey, no bites! Smells a lot better than the canned stuff too. It's also a lot colder now, like it's easily gone from a usual 80°F to a 65°F normal. My poor Peruvian comp is dying, and autumn basically hasn't even started yet. He's gonna love winter.
Well, that's it from me for now, I've gotta cook something because the boys in this house are hungry and I have the chef title.
Love you all tons! Til next week!
-Elder Montgomery
