Capìtulo 69 - It was Semana Santa

This week was really rough for the area. It was Semana Santa, which is a week long celebration of Jesus Christ, and so the people use it as an excuse to go to the beach or whatever they can to NOT go to church... I've been here for almost 16 months and I still don't understand it haha So anyways, this week, nobody was home. None of the investigators,and only a few members,on top of that,my companion got sick, and is still sick, so work has been a little slow. But it's all good, he's getting better.

So the last week we were contacting. We found a super positive investogator, like really positive and seemed really odd just how positive he was. He saw us contacting and saw that nobody opened their door for us. He came over and says "people don't make sense, they shut the door to the good people and open the door for the bad people." Hethen invited us in,and we had a really great lesson. Elder Avendaño and I were talking about how strangly positive he was in recieving us. a few days latter we went to visit him again, we noticed a few strange this about him, but nothing that really shocked us. This week we went to visit him, and we even gave a date to be baptized,he then told us that he couldn't do it that day because he has a doctor's appointment. For some reason he didn't think we believed him, so he says "look, here is my appointment card" he then showed us a card that read..." Appointment April 14th, Psychiatric Hospital" In that moment we realized why things were really strange with him haha but hey, he's a son of God so we won't stop teaching him haha.


The week ended great though with the General Conference. Every General Conference I've had out here just gets better and better. The talks were all great, and the changes were awesome and I think they will make a huge impact in the church down here. We'll see how that goes.
