Hola familia!
Okay so
this week has been another interesting one! Another week of Charla
Fogonera stuff! We had practices on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and we sang in a Charla Fogonera on Saturday in Dolores
(a little city an hour and a half from Fray Bentos) and Mercedes (a city about
thirty minutes from Fray Bentos). The Charla in Dolores was awesome, but
something funny happened. People didn’t really get the memo about not
clapping, so they clapped after the first few songs. We were all like,
"Um, what should we do?" but eventually, the congregation figured
things out! And the Charla in Mercedes was awesome as well! I was
the missionary sitting closest to the pulpit, so it was my job to tap people
with a folder in the backs of their legs if their testimonies began to run too
long (Uruguayans love to talk)! I honestly did not want to do it because
I hate hitting people with things, but I did it very gently and everyone got
the point with no problems! Phew! As for our area, things have been
going well with the little time we’ve had in Fray Bentos. We are
beginning to teach a lot of new investigators, and some of them have LOTS of potential!
Yay! Sad news though, this really awesome couple we’ve been teaching is
moving...but they’re moving into the Elders’ area, so they’ll still be in our
ward. Okay and BIG NEWS...I am officially done with my training
now. Hermana McMurray will be leaving to go to Cerro tomorrow (I think it’s
a suburb of Montevideo) and I will be staying here in Fray Bentos with Hermana
Gordillo (from GUATEMALA)! She just has two transfers left in her
mission, so it’ll be awesome to be with another missionary with a lot of
time. I am going to miss Hermana McMurray like crazy (she has honestly
been the best trainer I could’ve asked for), but I am excited for this new
opportunity. And please pray for me because I am now the person who knows
the most about my area...crazy!!! But I know God will help me, even
though I am super directionally challenged. Well, I’ve got to go, but
before I head out, I urge you all to read Alma 26:12, my fave! I know that I’m
nothing, but I know with God, I can do all things, even navigating streets here
in Fray Bentos!
Hasta
proximo semana!
