Well this week was fun!! But not that much happened.
Let me illustrate Tuesday for you!
Tuesday: So we started the day as usual, but got nothing! So about 12 of the zone leaders called us and told us to come back to our house. We had no clue what was going on so we trekked back to our house to find Elder Giles and Elder Rowland, they also had no clue why they were there. SO we waited a little bit till the zone leaders got there. And they told us that one of them was going to accompany us in each of our areas. SO Elder Perez went with us (he is the trainer of Elder Lambert so they got along really well). Before we left we made a challenge, for whoever had the most lessons, contacts, references and other stuff won, and the losers had to shave one leg. SO we headed out and had a great day! Elder Parez is so awesome. The whole day he gave me tips on how to be a better missionary.
So we had a really good and weird lesson with this girl Melissa. So we arrived and seated ourselves and some of her sisters came out and greeted us and one of them who is about 16 went to give Elder Lambert a kiss on the Cheek as is courtesy in Mexico, but he kind of strait armed her and was with his facial expression "get away friend" and was as far back in his chair as possible. I started dying and Elder Perez was just kind of embarrassed to know him. She walked away a little hurt!
So still in that lesson, it was probably the most spiritual lesson I have had so far. I shared a scripture and then bore my testimony about how the church is true and so did Elder Perez and Elder Lambert, then I felt prompted to share another scripture, Alma 32:28, about the seed and how it will grow inside of you and if it is good you will know that it is good. Then bore my testimony again and Elder Lambert invited her to Baptism and she said yes!! But then we sang Nearer my God to Thee and it was so powerful and beautiful and the Spirit soooo strong!! What a great lesson.
So we continued to work and had a few other lessons and a few contacts. But we got back and Got Destroyed!! They beat us sooooo bad. they had 20 lessons and Like 50 contacts, so we shaved our legs. Yeah bummer.
So that was tuesday!!
It rained super hard this week one day. We got drenched within 15 seconds to the bone, it’s a good thing that my bag is sort of water proof!
This week all of the zones in Tuxtla came together to do some service, we formed teams of 4 and went around the streets only picking up plastic bottles, not all the trash only plastic bottles, good job tuxtla! But it was fun and I got to know a few more elders. But we picked up a good ton of bottles (2000 or more)! It was sooo nice to wear shorts and a T shirt around instead of my normal clothes!
We saw President George three times this week, which is odd. He came a baptism in our ward and to our ward the next day, I hope I didn’t do anything too dumb in front of him. But it was nice to see him.
Well that’s all folks!
Love Ya,
Elder Pugmire
