Muy buenas tardes!

 

Intercambios with Hermana Jimenez

Things are going well here. I feel like the closer I get to the end, the more they ask how much time I have left. I don't want to remember! This week went really well though. We had some really awesome experiences.

Lunes: We wanted to go to the Macro plaza, but it was raining and we didn't want to walk. It stopped raining about mid day and didn't rain very much afterwards. We were only able to have a lesson with Issac to get him ready for Tuesday. He was so excited. Also they gave us food. So that was fun. :) We like food. 

Meet Issac.  He's pretty cool.Me, Issac,  Hermano Efrain,
 Sara (Issac's mom) Hermana Maya

Martes: I had to go to the leaders meeting in the morning. Thats always my favorite. Actually I really do enjoy those meetings. They are kinda cool. Its a break from the normal and its fun to know that you have a say in what's going on in the mission. After that we had a cita with a new investigator. Between the appointments we have had with her she has heard a lot of rumors about the church ( a big problem here) so we had to clear up a lot of what she had heard. After that we went to the chapel to make sure everything was ready for Issac's Baptism. Everything went perfectly. Well...not really, but close. We accidentally took a long time getting ready and taking pictures and some of the members got impacient waiting. But it wasn't a big problem. 

Miercoles: Was a good day. It was a normal day. We got to have all our studies and the entire day to work. Well until Ward Council. But we didn't stay for the whole time. We just went long enough to get a word in. Then we went back to work. 

Jueves: Weekly planning. That's always fun. It means we only have personal study and then we plan until 12. Later I looked back and realized that what we planned in our agendas is exactly what happened that day. Not one single cita fell through. That never happens. Its a good reason to celebrate. We celebrated with Intercambios. I went to Los Olivos to work with an awesome misionera over there. We accidentally got home late though because our ride had to give a class real quick in the chapel. 

Viernes: I left Hna M with Hna Garcia (also in training) and was a little nervous, mainly because I was afraid they would get lost. And they did. But just a little. And they did some good contacting. So it was fine. :) I met some great investigators of the hermanas and enjoyed myself over there. But we also made it home again late after changes because the buses took forever to pass. That's what happens when you don't have a car (...cough Elder Nielsen cough...)...Not that we are jealous...We ended up having a member from Olivos drive us home. They're awesome.  

Sabado: The citas fell through in the morning...back to normal mision life. jaja We ended up visiting a menos activo member who also doubles as a crazy cat lady. Its fun. Except her cats are super mega creepy. We found  anew family to teach. They are kinda AWESOME. Super excited. Love them already and we have only visited them once. They're 9 year old daughter is super cute and hilarious. 

The ward had 6 baptisms. Everyone dressed in white...and the sisters...

Domingo: Church! Wooho. After the services, the District Leader came to do the Baptism Interviews (3 of them). All went well. Then we went and ate some good food and went back to the chapel to prepare everything for the baptism. It was a good day for our ward. We baptized a married couple, Ramon and Angie. And the elders baptized 2 couples. It was super sweet to see everyone there dressed in white. The kid that took the picture with my camera was standing at a weird angle. So I'll try to find a better picture and send it. Lo siento! After that we had to go to a super awesomely boring meeting of the misioneros from the stake. Then we went home. Good day. 

Angie and Ramon with some awesome missionaries. 

Like I said, we had a pretty good week. This coming week should be pretty good too. I like Tijuana. I'm glad I get to be here for the last part of my mission. I can't believe we are starting week 4 of this transfer. Soon we have transfers again, but we are almost 100% sure we will stay together. The members always make comments about how well Me and Hermana Maya get along. Someone yesterday told us that they like how "unidas" (united) we are. I am really enjoying my time with her. 2 weeks ago was all rainy and cold so this week we had a lot of sunshine. I may have got burned a little. The weather here is crazy. Today its cool and breezy. Who knows what we have coming this week. I don't know what to expect anymore. 

Well. I can't really think of anything else worth reporting. That's pretty much it.

Hope all is well with you guys. Have a great week! 

Lots of love!

Hermana Nielsen
