Let me just say Elder Sorensen and I made ourselves the best set up this week. When it rains the water gets really cold and in the morning its stinks to bucket shower. The water is always filled with rust so its like we shower with cold rust water. We set up some ripped strips of t-shirt over our faucet to act as a filter against the rust and we bought a heating rod. We wake up, fill our buckets, and start heating the water, it's the best.
Sunday we had two of our progressing investigators come to church and honestly, it was the best. Our branch isn't big enough to be a ward and sometimes its a little nerve-wracking because it doesn't always run as smooth as it does in the states and the missionaries have to help the branch president from the congregation sometimes. This last Sunday ran perfectly though! Our visitors loved it and said they want to come back every week! Elder Sorensen and I taught Gospel Principles and it was good! The people here help me with my Spanish and they're very nice!
There are so many mangoes everywhere!!!! They fill the streets. There is this one road when all the best mangoes fall but the street gets super slippery. I totally slipped and some people saw and it was funny they laughed.
We had zone conference this week. Something that President Haws and the mission in general stresses so much is the importance of Power, Dignity, and Purpose. Everything we do as missionaries revolves around those three things. I love the emphasis upon hard work and diligence as everything you do and say must have a purpose, through dignity, done with power.
