The Mercado

Hola! This week was pretty dang full of service! We woke up bright and early on Tuesday morning to go fishing with a family in the ward and all I caught was rain on my clothes, a tree branch, and a fl*ppin turtle that ended up busting my line and half the pole when I tried reeling it in. After that sad fishing trip we started to crack down on the jungle of a yard the Perez family had! It was really hard work and the humidity wasn't helping me at all lol. After calling a bunch of inactive members, we finally decided to put our beds back into the house haha. My back was kiiiiilling me. I decided that I should start to work out and do it while I'm studying the scriptures, so after each chapter, I did 30 sit ups. It worked pretty well, but I think I should just work out separately and just study my scriptures on my own. We got a butt load of rain and all we could do was stay inside and we not able to do any service. So we ended up cleaning the entire church (because we basically trashed the place). On Saturday, we went to the “mercado” in Mebane! We went around with some Spanish speaking missionaries and tried inviting people to watch/attend our english classes that we will be starting on facebook. We had a few good contacts with people and my Spanish wasn’t half bad haha. Something funny that happened was when I started making a contact with some Spanish speakers, and they turned out to be members. Nobody wanted to learn English apparently, but at least I got in some practice! In the end, it really put into perspective how I can go outside of the whole facebook box and talk with some people:) Adios!
