At the end of last week, I had eight baptismal dates. No one came to church yesterday and now I only have three on date, but we will see what happens...
We taught the investigator that came two Sundays ago -- the one that was figuratively feed "meat" by the speakers, not "milk". She remembered teachings on family history which was so cool. The mission wants us to talk more about family history. Even though she didn't go to church yesterday she said that next week she would.
This week I'll probably have two exchanges. I think I'm going to be with Elder Palilla on my birthday! That will be fun.
Training is going well. I feel really tired sometimes but Elder Cerron is progressing well. He is quick to jump in. When he first got here, I counseled him not to fear others and to invite them to be baptized. He does it often and has this down. He's a good missionary and we don't have problems.
This week I shot a pellet gun. A member who lives in the middle of nowhere invited us in. He was pretty cool. He was the best boxer in Chile for a while. He must be good. It was fun. It reminded me of how much I like shooting guns.
I got to the soccer court today and everybody was expecting me to bring the football. They must have enjoyed playing last week.
I called the mission president today. I lost my name tag. He must be sick and didn't sound anything like himself.
He asked me "Who was talking?"
I said "Elder Hammond" and I followed up with "Who am I talking to?" thinking it was an assistant.
He just said "President" and I felt so dumb. Ha ha.
I heard that the rumor is Elder Holland is going to be the apostle that comes. That would be wonderful if true!
