Mucho Trabajo

August 23, 2010

Well this last week was good. It was a little interesting. Lots of things happened and we had to do a ton of things. The traveling assistants came to our zone to work with us and to help out the zone. And to learn and see what we are doing to have the things that are happening happen. So the entire week I was on divisions with one of the assistants and my comp with the other and we worked in our area a little bit and went on divisions in other areas and worked there as well. Some really good experiences and fun times. We had to do about 20 baptismal interviews though, so we were all over the place doing that as well.

On Thursday night I got a phone call from one of my district leaders and he sounded scared to death and said that I had to come over!! And he just said elder bigelow I swear I didn’t do anything I did nothing I promise.... it was just one of our investigators and I did nothing I promise. So as you could I imagine I was so scared and nervous so I went over there with one of the assistants right then. It was only about 9:30, but we went over really nervous and not sure what to expect. We had so many thoughts running through our heads. But we finally got there and everything seemed to be fine as we went to knock the door. And then we got in and they seemed alright. And then he showed us a letter that one of his investigators wrote to him. Again expecting the worse I started to read it. And it was from a 26 year old girl that he is teaching and she wrote him a HARD core love letter!!!! Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. but it was still pretty bad and really funny cause he was freaking out. She told him how she loves him and wants to have children with him and is starting to save up money so she can move to the states and live with him and start a family together. That he is the man of her dreams and that she has been searching for her whole life. And on and on...for a fool page front and back, and the paper was very big, not normal size. So we told him to pray and take it easy and stuff and tomorrow he can talk to president at zone conference. (Cause we had conference the next day). So we left his pensh and called president told him what had happened and he said he would talk to him. And as we were expecting there was a special transfer. He still stayed in our zone. But moved really far away from his last area which is what is best.

We then had zone conference on Friday and that went really well I had to direct the entire conference and take care of a lot of things that was a interesting experience but it went really well I loved it and learned a lot. Now next week we will see how things went this month and we have a consejo in Mendoza with all the zone leaders with president to talk a little more and learn what we can do to better ourselves and our zones. That will be fun I am looking forward to that. And this Saturday we should have a baptism here in our area. That will be really good. it is crazy in this area there are like 600 members but only about 100 to 120 go. Which is really good. It is the best assisted ward I have had in my mission it kinda reminds me of home cause everyone has a calling and there are more then 20 members that go. But it still is not home. I still love it though. This last week was a really hot week and I got a little sunburned again. It is really starting to heat up. in the summer time here it get to be 120 about every single day. We still got a ways till the summer time but it is already starting to heat up a lot.
