On Wednesday I hit my 6 month mark! Just a fun little milestone but it doesn't mean much yet. There's still plenty of time and work left to do but I'm excited to see where it goes! As of now I've spent about 2 months in each section of my mission: MTC, California, and Ethiopia. It'll be nice to stay a bit more permanently somewhere.
This week was not the funnest. Our area slowed down big time because no one was answering their phones, so we started purging our Area Book and cutting people we weren't having any success with. On top of that, our Baptism disappeared for the second time in a row so there's some stepping up to do.
Our two most progressing people are doing well though! Robel came to watch a Baptism, and Estefanos brought his Lil bro to church!
And since this week was deader than the goat we saw some puppies munching on, so I'll talk about the little details day-by-day:
Tuesday: Watched the Church video "Your Great Adventure" and remembered just how good it is. It compares our lives to a man who ran a 100 mile race in the desert, and how often times we get tired and want to give up, but God doesn't expect us to be perfect, he just expects us to keep trying. I recommend you all go watch it!
Wednesday: 6 month mark. My tummy was not happy with me today. During lunch I told the owner lady that I was feeling a little sick in Amharic and that's why I wasn't eating, and some random dude outside the restaurant was shook. Told me that he appreciated my Amharic.
Thursday: Had exchanges with the DL today. Went and got some more Pizza Hut plus some Coldstone this time. That Oreo Cheesecake was the greatest thing I've ever eaten.
Friday: Did a District blitz to get as many numbers as possible for a companionship in a new area. I was reunited with my MTC Elder Lyman for an hour for it!
Saturday: Robel came to the Baptism of Elder Rundasa's mother and really enjoyed it. Had the first Megenagna YSA activity this week and played Hackey-sack.
Sunday: The best day of the week. Had 5 people come to church, got 3 referrals and had a BOMB Elder's Quorum taught by the GOAT members Dr. Berhane and Brother Thomas. Brother Thomas is an English speaker, but his accent is so intense that its basically like he doesn't speak it. So even though I had no clue what was going on the lesson was still fire.
Take care y'all. Put your shoulder to the wheel.
