so this week started out super sucky i was still feeling a little sick but i was pretty done with not working so we went out working in the morning and i threw up twice so kinda stupid of myslef and not giving myself time to heal so we went back to the pension to just chill in the heat cause i was still sick obviously. i started to get super frustrated cause i knew we needed to get to our investigators i started to get super stressed about them and worried to the point i would start having dreams about them wanting the gospel and nobody to teach it to them haha and i woke up sweating and super stressed so after that i prayed to heavenly father asking just please give us a way to visit the people here and at least get some work done and asked that i could feel good enough to work. miracle time.... so woke up feeling amazing to a man knocking on the door saying he was there to put in ac in our apartment. holy flip i was so happy aparently a member in the ward got someone to come over haha i almost started to cry when i felt cold air so awesome we have cold air now we can sleep at least. then we went to work again and i havent felt sick since so huge blessing thanks so much for all the prayers.
we got a couple new elders in my district this week and they are sick one is from peru and the other from brazil so crazy to see how different spanish is in different countries but this week we spent p day in capilla del monte which is the alien town its super chill and pretty.
so this week for church we had a family of investigators that had come to church once but not again for a really long time so this sunday we decided to wake up early and go pick them up at their house this meant we had to walk six miles in suits and heat haha so kinda the shaft but we got to their house and the custom here to knock on the door is just to stand outside the gate of their house and clap until they come to the door so we did this for 10 minutes with no reply and then my comp said well next time lets go and i just looked at him like he was insane and i was like are you kidding we walked all this way we are getting them to church. so i proceeded to do something questionable i opened the gate and walked up to the door and knocked. This can be incredibly offensive to people here so i was quite scared especially since my comp stayed in the street haha but after knocking for 10 more minutes the husband came to the door laughing his head off saying you mormons are insane but at least you care about our salvation but then said they were all sick and couldnt come to church. so we walked back to go to church super disapointed and i was just wondering why this was happening i though we did everything we could do so as we walked into the chapel soaking wet from sweat we saw one of our investigators who was 15 years old and she had walked 3 miles not knowing where the church was and some how found it. how awesome is that. so we sat with her in church and she loved it and she has plans now to get baptized soon soo we got our blessing just in a different way than we though ahh it was so cool the lord always recognizes our efforts and blesses us 10 fold.
those are the stories for this week love you all hope you have an amazing week and thanks so much for all you guys do
