Well, this week was
a tougher one, more humbling. We had some days where different things
took up lots of useful hours we could have used to teach and proselyte,
so our numbers were a little lower, but i´m excited to start this week
new and improve :)
Just so you all know, we are starting week 6, the last week of the
transfer, today. We´ll find out transfers this Saturday- I´m sure I´ll
stay since I just got here, but we´ll see what happens with my comp.
On Saturday we helped a family move to another apartment, starting at 2
we thought we´d be done by 6:30 for when we teach English class but it
kept going and going until we had to be back in our piso for the night.
So much stuff. And thats not even the best part, they are moving to a
piso on the 11 floor...yeah. Haha what an adventure. Thank goodness
most of the big stuff fit in the small elevator, but we still had to
carry the mattresses, bed frames, wooden drawers, closets, etc. up the
stairs. My companion´s still complaining about his back being sore ha.
It was pretty tough work but really gratifying, knowing we were able to
make something that would have previously taken maybe a week, into just a
day. Service is awesome, before the mission I remember being quite to
complain about stupid things, but I see it from a different side now.
We have a cool investigator--named Libe. She is from Africa, I know
the spanish name of her country but not in English haha. The elders
taught her a while ago but then she started to be harder and harder to
meet with. But a couple weeks ago we started teaching her again and she
is awesome, was raised in a Catholic home and thats all she knows, but
likes to listen to us. She came to church on Sunday!!! I was so happy,
and also what made me super happy was that so many members went up to
her, gave her a beso (the whole kiss on the cheek greeting), trying to
make her feel welcome. We have a baptismal date with her in April and
she seems pretty strong and set with it. I would appreciate it if you
prayed for her in these coming weeks.
Well that's about it for this week, The work is going forward with
the power of God, and nothing can stop it. I feel like I´m a medieval
knight fighting (with my Toledo sword ha) for my Heavenly Father.
I hope you all have a great great week, filled with miracles and blessings.
Love, Elder Franson
