This time we painted the metal
window guards for a poor old lady named Pifania. It was fun... Also my
hands were brown for basically all of this week because we used sponges
to paint.
So since, Mom asked... District
Leader is basically I am in charge of 5 other missionaries. Each week we
have a district meeting that is about an hour and a half where I teach
them and encourage them to be better and work smarter and harder. Also I
have the opportunity to take all the numbers Sunday nights so that I
report to the zone leaders. If the zone leaders have an announcement they
call me... Also Fridays and call and ask if there are any baptismal or
rescue date for the weekend. The coolest part is as district leader I
get to do work visits, where I go to the other areas of the missionaries
in my district to see how the are working and how the are getting along
with their companions. The work visit lasts for 24 hours or a little
less. And that is basically it... but my main job though is teach the
gospel, find people, and baptize... Also their is a big responsibility
to set an example to the district with all that I do... Easy... It is
more just another opportunity to serve others...
This
week we helped The Mori family do a cabritada which is a fundraiser
like a bake sale but with goat... and rice and beans... we sold them to
the members of the ward and then helped deliver the end product. Haha my
entire district and the zone leaders bought some... all the earned
money went to pay for the marriage of the Mori family... it was a
success. Cabrito or goat is actually really really tasty. You guys
should all try some.. The mori family will be getting married soon and
then on the 30th they will all be baptized.
Hope all is going well over there..
Thanks Grandma, and aunt Sara
