Hola one and all!
In terms of on the edge of your seat content, this email is going to be unfortunately short by a mile. But some cool stuff did happen this week, so lets get into it!
First off... last P-day and the subsequent multi-zone devotional. This was a crazy multi-zone, honestly. My zone lost the fútbol tournament, and not for a lack of trying. Afterwards, we went and had lunch and I had REAL PIZZA for the first time in like 2 transfers it was lit! To end P-day off we went and climbed some sand dunes... pictures below!
The devotional was also insane. I got to see a friend from my MTC district and a friend from my reassignment, so that was awesome. Also, I don't know why, but we sang I am a child of God in Japanese. (Might have something to do with the fact that mission president or his wife served in Japan... dunno)
That was pretty awesome, not gonna lie. It was super refreshing to just... hear something other than Spanish.
This last District Council I was given the responsibility to do a workshop for the rest of the Elders. It was quite strange being on the giving end, honestly. I'm used to getting told "you suck, do better", but like the other end is terrifying! I am giving advice to missionaries who have been out longer than me, who are staring me down and disecting my brain it was strange.
So we are teaching a 9 year old, who happens to A. Not be baptized and B. Loves the Violin. On our last lesson, she asked us to bring the violin over, so she could see one for the first time. She has watched many YouTube videos on the violin, and absolutely loves the instrument. What was sad was she said she didn't have one because her Dad didn't have enough money for one.
I brought it over, and she was really excited. I showed her how to properly hold the instrument, the bow, where to play, and the notes. I don't think she realized just how hard playing this instrument is, because she looked really confused and started trying to do extremely advanced stuff that not even I can do. (Aka plucking the string with her left hand. For reference that hand is the hand you use to place notes, and the right hand plucks (plucking is the equivalent of strumming one string of a guitar)). She was extremely happy though it was so cool.
What was epic though was her dad got involved. He tried the instrument out and showed us a video on YouTube of his and his daughters favorite violin player. Afterwards he asked where we had bought it, and it seemed like he was contemplating buying one.
We found (with help) one of the most insane people I've had the privilege of teaching! In my whole mission! He is super eager to hear the word and he's literally reading the pamphlets like wut. Also, he's actively trying to get to church its awesome! Can't wait to see him progress!
Let me think... did we have any Ls this week? I mean, the title of the email...
Oh! I lost a game of Here to Slay to Elder Vargas, so he's bragging again
Got nipped by a cat. That was... weird
In other news, I taught my Comp how to make omelets. They're... pretty good...
Oh! We got RAIN in the middle of our work day! It was so relaxing walking in the wind and rain its so cool!
And finally.... today's plans
Apparently one of the Elders A. Got a shirt for everybody that has our zone on it so thats cool and B. He's gonna get cat for us all to try. Dunno how I feel about eating cat, but we'll see how it goes!
Till next week!
