Week 23~

This week was pretty not interesting.. The work has been so dang slow here. The hearts of the people are getting harder by the day and finding someone to teach has been a real challenge for us lately.. We have been dedicating a lot of time to organizing the branch so that has been good but we did find one new investigator named Eduardo who is 72 years old and come to find out he is under house arrest for stabbing someone (he claims it was self defence) and I pretty much believe him because he was super friendly,but we will see how he is on the next visit haha. 

We had zone conference this week with all the elders and hermanas from our zone as well as president and his wife and the assistants and it was super good! I learned a lot about how I can be a better missionary and person in general. One thing I have been able to realize on the mission is how hard it is to be perfect haha. That sounds weird, but for real, I want to be perfect, but it is so dang hard.. I dont even come close. I fail every day. And for that I have come to realize more and more how crucial the Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ is. We need it every day. Because we are so far from perfect. So yeah I am super grateful for the mission helping me to realize all the things that I need to change about myself and all the things that I can do better. I know I will still be very far from perfect when I get back from the mission but I will at least be a little better in a few things and for that I am grateful. This upcoming week is transfers so I am expecting to be transferred to another area.. We will see if I stay, but I would be the first person to be the comp of a branch president for more than three transfers so I am pretty sure I am leaving. Which is sad! I love the people here, I love Feliciano and it will be hard to leave, but I am also ready for new experiences and new opportunities!

The floors by the way are a lot like you heard. No one cleans their floors because they are just dirt and rocks.. Sometimes cement but either way pretty dirty.. As far as the shoes and socks go do I need to send pictures? Basically they all have holes in them so I don't know what the policy is but I can take pictures if needed!
