This week has been alright. It has gone by fast but the work was kind of slow. Lots of door knocking. I didn´t get to go to the broadcast even though I really wanted to. It was in another city and I didn´t think we would be able to make it home. And we had a lesson with a menos activio. I heard it was really good though. I guess in a few months they will be using Facebook to work that should be interesting. I think the obedience will go down with some elders, but the apostles know what they are doing.
The Branch is going pretty well. The new branch president has changed the attitude of the work and is happy, so that is good. I had to speak again on Sunday. Third time this month including my testimony during fast and testimony meeting. It was not that great of a talk. I talked about faith and more then anything else the ways Satan tries to destroy our faith. Doubt fear and sin. It had the potential to be a great talk but I didn´t give myself to much time to prepare. I can give good talks if I take the time to prepare but if I don´t write it out or at least practice it I get nervous when I get up there and jump around. It also didn´t help that the district president was in attendance AND got up before I did to tell us that they might close the branch of Rosario in about a year if we don´t have 15 tithe paying priesthood holders. Right now we have 5. But I can only come up with about 8 in total from the menos activos. The branch is going to have to put in the batteries. I must have been inspired because the branch pres. didn´t give us a topic nor do I think he knew the District Pres. was coming. I feel like my talk calmed the nerves/fears of the members. I spoke for like 20 minutes and for a first wasn´t on clean up. Usually my comp goes first then me but this time no.
What else, oh yea this week I ate Homemade liverwurst and blood sausage(Morcilla). Surprisingly enough I liked the blood sausage more. I like liverwurst but this one not that much. I also had never had blood sausage before it wasn´t that bad. Here they have a sweet blood sausage haven´t tried it yet.
My district is struggling so am I, I guess. Tomorrow I have to really animate them, the sisters haven´t had anyone in church in a month and we haven´t been having many lessons. I don´t know what I am going to tell them. I have thought about talking about better planning but I don´t know how to present that in a not boring way. We will see what happens. Anyway that's about it. I am going to watch part of the broadcast on line. Have a good week.
Love you!
