Tuesday waiting for the bus, we saw our first bike race which was pretty cool.
On Wednesday we had a lesson with a man that came to a church activity a couple weeks ago with. His name is Roberto Carlos, and he lives right infront of a young family in which both of the parents are returned missionaries. We had a really cool but short lesson with him (since we got there late after we got lost).
Thursday and Friday elder Lafleur was a little under the weather and we came home late. But Fridayour lunch had fallen through and we got to go to lunch with the Hunts again!!! I love going there! Elder Villegaz (who we said goodbye to this morning cause he´s finishing the mission) kept asking about advice about returning home. They gave him some great councel about finding a wife, about looking for not just the first hot compatible single in sight, but someone who has compatible ambitions, goals, and desires, someone who can be a really companion and friend. I like that advice. And I should be putting it into practice in about a year from now haha.
Saturday morning, service project!!! We went to the neighborhood of our ward mission leader and helped him to flatten out a dirt trail that tons of people walk on, and we made it so that the water would run to the side and not the path. It was a way fun morning! We worked hard and got a little burnt! Lots of people stopped to tell us thanks and admire all the work we had done, and a few people bought us pop or cookies. After a hard mornings work we went to hermano becerra´s house for lunch! They´re from Peru and wow I didn´t know I loved peruvian food! They made something called cebiche, it was way good but supposedly due to a lack of fresh fish and other ingredients it wasn´t as good as it is in Peru. Saturday evening we went to the familia Diaz to do a family night!!! It was way fun! I understand a lot better now why we always did family home evenings growing up! So we prayed, watched ´finding faith in Christ´ talked about it, what we liked about it and how we can apply it. And then we ate a cake that we had made for a two day late birthday of Mariela (who just turned 8!), and then we played a quick game and hit the road! I love FHE´s. They committed to coming to church the next day. Also, Yail came to a primary activity on saturday!!! We called a family to pick him up and it turned out that he is good friends with a kid in the family!!!
So then we made a few more calls to confirm and went to bed that night. On sunday we got up and were on our way to church (members had committed to picking up Norma and Yail, and la flia Diaz) but then the hermano that was going to take norma and yail called and was sick, so we went to go with them on a bus but they couldn´t come right then and were going to come later, we we went to wait for the bus, and by that time we were going to be pretty late, but then the hermano that had just picked up Antonio and Sandra was passing by on the same street and we jumped in and got to church!!! Norma and Yail didn´t end up coming, but we will be working with them this week so that they can come next week! We think Antonio and Sandra liked it but we definitely have to go see them to answer a few questions tomorrow. I also gave a talk at church about Elder Oaks talk from April 2013, Followers of Christ. I think it went pretty well. After Church we had ward council!!!! It was awesome!!! It was the 4th one i´ve been to here and the 2nd one that there has been representation from almost every quorum/organization. This ward is really supportive, and we had some great stuff to talk about since we had investigators at church and Yail at the activity. It was awesome. Then last night Elder Froughton (another elder that´s finishing his mission), came from his area way down south to spend the night in our pench before going to the offices this morning with Elder Villegaz. We made shakes and french toast and yum it was good. Things are going really well here. Elder Lafleur and I are both staying here. He is doing really well. Halfway done with his training already wow! He´s definitely going to be ready to train next transfer if needs be. We are doing better and better at working by the spirit. I love the work, the people and the Lord!
I hope you all are well!
Love,
Elder Fullmer
