Hola
What's goin on? Today is not really pday, but on New Years all the cybers are going to be closed, so they told us to do it today and next monday when we got a chance. So I don't have much to say, but we will see what I can come up with hehe. It was good to talk to you all on Saturday. Next time you hear my sweet voice I will be 3 weeks away from coming home. The phone call is always good, but leaves me with an unsatisfied feeling. One elder told me that he talked for 4 hours once and he still felt the same way, so I guess that's just how it is.
This week was interesting for missionary work. Monday was pday last week, then when it was time to work, our electricuted elder called us and asked us to take him to the hospital, so that ate up the few hours we had at night to work. Then Tuesday we had a really solid day of work and found some good investigators. Wednesday we had president interviews and that ate up our entire day. Once again Thursday we had a good solid full day of work and got out there and had really good lessons and found a good guy to teach. Friday was Christmas Eve, it poored rain half the day and everyone gave us the *it's chrismas eve, come back next year* excuse haha. So that day went down the drain then they changed todays pday to Saturday, so no work there and Sunday we did what we could to try to save the week, but it was too little too late.
Unfortunately our entire zone had the same results and we had a big fall in baptisms and lessons taught. It's looking like were going to fall a bit short of our goal, but we are close. Although missionary baptism goals are rarely met haha. Our zone is doing really well missionary wise, with not too many problems, so this week is looking promising.
So I'm not sure if I told you, but the house I live in is a 4 elder house. That's the first time I've lived in one my whole mission and lets just say that it's hilarious, but a trial all at once haha. We live with Elder Novoa and Elder Rios. Both really good kids but one of them is the biggest mooch in the world. What's ours is his haha. So basically I've gotten used to buying a liter of milk, eating one bowl of cereal then coming back and it's all gone. I guess sharing is caring right.
So here's an interesting investigator situation that we have. It's an 18 year old girl who is pregnant and lives with her 28 year old boyfriend, who works all day. Her boyfriend has a 3 year old kid from his old girlfriend, who she babysits all day. Imagine that Kortni. I feel pretty bad for her, but here it's normal, so whatever.
The weather here has been wicked. 40 degrees celcius with 200% humitity. Not joking, we have been wet for like a week now. It rains and it stays super hot, so we are just wet sticky balls all day. Our house has a big metal roof, so it acts like an oven, so our house is always about 10 degrees hotter than outside and it doesn't cool down at night. It's so humid that my bed, my sheets and everything else in the house feels damp. I love the mission!
Let's see what else. President Heaton is driving up to Salto tomorrow for our district meeting. That could either be good or bad, we're not sure haha.
Oh yeah, so we had our president interviews. Those went well. President Heaton is cool. He's just really relaxed and says what he feels and thinks. Interviews are more like just chillin'. He told me that Elder Brough is leaving at the end of the change, to end his mission, as a normal missionary, so looks like I'll be getting a new comp in a few weeks.
That's all for now. Hope all is well! Love you guys
Elder Roney
