Well this week started off on a strange note. We went to go visit an investigator that has been investigating the church for over 8 months, named Raul. After a very spiritual part of the lesson with this guy, He looks at us dead in the eyes and says "I had an appointment today." and we were thinking like how cool is that, he was going to be meeting with a few members or something. Then he started yelling and said.. "With a woman... and I was going to fornicate!! But not anymore!!!" I honestly had no idea what to say to the guy... Elder Alvarado and I just looked at eachother and tried our best to hold back our laughter. Especially because in spanish it sounds a lot funnier, and this is a 75 year old man who literally can't walk, and he was shouting with the raspiest old man's voice.
Sundays here are also a little weird too. especially because this is supposed to be a super strong ward, but ever since they divided the ward, the church attendance has dropped to about 50 people. Then we were sitting there all nice and early with our investigators in the from, when the mission president's wife walks in. Turns out that I go to the same ward as my mission president, even though he doesn't come, because he is always going to stake/district/branch conferences around the mission, Hermana chase still comes. And it was even more awkward when they lady saying the opening prayer threw us under the bus for something that's not our fault, when she asked God to help us do our job to bring people to the church because we havent been doing good enough apparently. hahaha
Then, things got really cool when we had a family home evening with the mission president and his wife last night. It was AMAZING! We went to their house and ate like AMERICANS. Then we all pulled out our scriptures and had a great scripture study together. It was all halloween themed, and it was just super cool.
