Week 31 in Uruguay: "New Comp"

March 12- March 19

“New Comp”

Wednesday-Thursday

Well first, Tuesday night we had a rap battle, it was dope!  I said goodbye to Maza! Ahh I’m going to miss my comp, Elder Maza.  I love that kid.  Well, I chilled most of the day waiting for my comp.  He is from Spain Barcelona.  His accent is crazy! Haha He is super funny!  I’m praying we have a good change together. So far it seems like we will. Thursday was terrible.  I helped my comp get all settled.  We had to take a taxi.  He had to bring some other stuff for people.  I thought I would be nice and pay for him and so I did.  We arrived and I unloaded all the things and got inside and my wallet was gone!  Lost it.  The rest of the day was ok.  We contacted people then taught a kid that told my comp some inappropriate words. My comp loves pizza haha! So we have already eaten pizza twice!  I haven’t had pizza for 4 ½ months haha!  He does have a good way of talking to people. 

Friday- Saturday

We taught Andrea about baptism, she is perfect!  We then went to the church for our family home evening night.  No one showed but Andrea came later. We played games with her and watched the Stonecutter video.  She loved it!  Her daughter recited the whole video!  She also acted out every part, super funny!  Friday was an awesome day!  Saturday we taught Albero.  It was a super awesome direct lesson!  The spirit was super strong!  We also contacted monkeys lol, we went and talked to people at the local zoo!  No one wanted to talk to us. So we contacted animals lol!  So many doors slammed in my face, we ate another pizza which makes 3 for the 3 days that my comp has been here! Lol!

Sunday

It was the worst storm on Sunday!  Our Branch President knew it was going to be like this so he sent us a text at 10pm saying we should be prepared to give a talk in sacrament if the members don’t show up.  Sure enough, we were giving talks in front of our Rama with the Stake President there and all!  It went really well. You have got to love that if we get called on the spot we can just talk about Christ and the Book of Mormon.  Pretty cool!  After we set apart an older lady to be a missionary with us.  The power of the Priesthood is so special and how lucky are we to have it here on the earth today.  After, we talked to the stake president and got everything ready to have activities where people will show up. Today was a good day!
