Yep this week is transfers week. i´m staying right where i´m at so i dont have much to say. but we are getting new Zone Leaders. I´ve liked living with elder Archiza and Frankzak. but hey transfers is transfers. just have to be ready to say good bye too whoever when ever.
Also this week we had another baptism. Her name Was Miria. we found her near the beginning of the transfer. After a few weeks of going to the church and a little encouragement she was baptized saturday and confirmed sunday by Elder Me. =)
We found her when the bishop gave us a list of less actives that we need to visit. we found one of the women who was less active and her name was helena. she had just stopped going to church because about 2 years ago she went blind and had no way to go to church. Miria decided to help her and moved in to her house just to be her guide pretty much. well we took advantage of that oppurtunity to teach and turns out she liked the doctrine, liked the church, and decided to follow her savior by being baptized. Now our job is just too keep the ward involved to make sure she can make it to the temple.
Also we´ve been doing this service project all week. we´ve been having to cut down a tree. but hears the trick. the tree is completely surrounded by neiboring houses so we cant just take it down at the trunk which means first we have to take off the branches first. trick number too is that we cant let the branches fall on the roof of the house because all the roof is of this house is just simply sheet rock curved to make a shingle type of thing. meaning you but little to any weight on it it will break. so what we have to do is scale up the tree with a machete (or big knife thing) and some rope, tie the rope too the branch that will stay connected to the tree and a branch that we will be cutting off. we do this about a thousand times and the tree slowly gets cut back. we only broken the roof once so far. its a good thing that the sheet rock shingle things aren´t that expensive. haha! I took a video of it and i´m pretty sure you guys will laugh at how we are having to cut out this tree. If you let me know some type of drop box thing that I can send it that would be awesome. its too big to go by email. sorry.
anyway Thats pretty sad too hear about eric. He will definatly be in my prayers. I hope all goes well with the docters appointments.
So also some other good news is it feels like the tempuratures are cooling down a bit. we´ve been having some nicer weather latley too. its been getting a little stormy. which means its just getting a little cooler. =) cooler weather means happiers elders. =)
anyway I think thats just about the news for the week. Keep Living on!
