This week was a lot more calm than last week! We spent a lot of the days walking and knocking doors, but we were able to find 14 new people who agreed to return appointments for us to teach them. It's the little miracles that make the mission so worth it.
We have been teaching Roberta for quite some time now, but she is also receiving literally every other religion under heaven hahah. The Jehovah's Witnesses visit her a lot, and so a lot of the doctrine we teach her gets really confused. BUT, last week we went to visit her and she wasn't home. We were super bummed but then her son was like ¨Do you guys want to read the Book of Mormon with me?¨ Uh, yeah!!! We spent about an hour talking with him and he told us that he wants to come to church with us and be baptized in the future. We are so pumped to keep teaching him, and hopefully he can help his mom to come along as well!
Funny experiences:
A few weeks ago I wrote about this old guy who started talking the Birds and the Bees in the middle of our lesson. This week we got a call from one of the members, and she let us know she is going out with someone!! (She is 84 years old, but that's not stoppin her) and come to find out, it is the Birds and the Bees guy hahah!! But, he wants to come to church because she told him she won't marry him unless he gets baptized HAHA. So we will see how that goes.
I have never come to love the United States as much as I have on my mission. I have this weird habit of singing the national anthem whenever I'm bored or doing something, and yesterday OUT of NOWHERE my companion just busts out singing the first line in broken English HAHA! We both died laughing.
That's about all I have for this week! We are coming up on transfers this next week and I think I will be staying in my area, but we are really happy for all the progress we have seen here in Dorrego so far. I love this little town!
Love,
Hermana Spackman
