So we have had an awesome week this
past week! It all started last p-day after we got done emailing. We went
to City Park and played a game called SpikeBall in the rain! That was really fun and getting soaked in the rain is like the closest thing to
swimming you get to do on the mission so I loved that! We then got to go
to one of my favorite families houses, Brother Maximo and his family so
all in all it was a great p-day!
The other
cool thing that happened this week is that we got to have two other
Spanish missionaries come on a double in exchange in our area. Elder
Maldonado and his trainee Elder Tu'avau came from Thrusday night to
Friday night. Maldonado had served here in Chalmette for about 7 months
so all the members and investigators were super excited to see him
again! While we were on exchanges we all went to Goodwill after lunch to
look around for a little bit. That little bit ended up being two hours
haha. While we were in there a guy who was non-denominational started
talking to me and like the great friends all the other elders are, they
walked to another part of the store for a while to let me handle the
guys questions! Eventually they all came over and got involved in the
conversation. At one point this guy brought up Jehovah's Witnesses and
what do ya know, there was a JW there. Soooo all four of us got to stand
there while this JW and non-denom started bashing each other! It was
pretty awkward standing there for that. After the non-denom finally got
tired and left we got to have a good conversation with the JW and learn
more about their beliefs and she got to learn more about ours! All in
all it was a good time!
Well I think that is it for me this week! Have a great week y'all!
