The beginning of this week was really nerve wracking for me. We had Zone Conference with Presidente and Hermana Obeso on Tuesday, and the morning of we get a call from the AP´s telling us that they are going to do divisions in our sector. That really put the pressure for us to have a good day of work. We had good plans though so i wasn't too worried. Me and Elder K (That's his new name now) went out with them as soon as the conference ended. We had an awesome day! Elder K invited 3 new people to be baptized and they all accepted! so cool. and i got to go to the Fam. Jimenez and teach an awesome, soul stirring lesson there. Eric, is really starting to progress he is starting to recognize the spirit more and more. So that was our divisions with the AP´s.
We had another really lousy Sunday.... Not only did no investigators come, but we were 15 minutes late. We had to go searching for our clothes. The members take turns washing our clothes here ( so nice), and this week it was the Yuseff´s turn. They live on an island right in front of Dalcahue. So this Sunday they called us to tell us that we needed to cross on the ferry so that we could go and pick up the clothes. So we left the chapel, after staring the fire, to go look for our stuff. They end up crossing, but they forget to tell us! So while we are crossing we see them in the ferry going in the opposite direction. So we had to wait for the ferry to do the whole loop and then we were already about five minutes late when we got back to Dalcahue, so we flat out sprint to the chapel. We get in right before the Sacrament begins and we can't stop huffing and puffing until it ends. So that was something fun.
Today we have had lots of fun. We went to Castro to play some Soccer and then we came back and we made some more KING KONG burgers, these ones were chicken though, so i feel lots healthier. I bought some avocados, chipotle sauce, eggs, lettuce, and tomato to put on top. One of the best things i have ever eaten in my life. I was really proud of myself.
I learned how to knit this week.
Me and Elder K were thinking about The Lord of the Rings this week and we discovered an awesome symbolism of what the Ring of Power really means. The Ring is Temptation. Sauron is the Devil. The devil uses temptation as his tool to wreck havoc among the children of men, the same way that Sauron uses the ring as a tool to destroy middle earth. The ring is always so hard to get rid of, just like temptation and sin. In the end Frodo can´t give it up on his own, after along time of sin it almost impossible for us to get out on our own. Golumn is necessary for us to be free..... wait that doesn't work. Well, i'll do some more work on the theory and get back to you guys in a couple weeks.
I love you guys so much. This is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ, and he and God, our father, love us so much. I know that that's true.
Have a great week! and remember to call Madi Mad-Eye lots for me.
Love,
Elder Burup
