it feels good to know that i know officially have over a year in the
mission. finally!! for my one year mark my companion Elder Peterson and I
went to an ice cream place and both of us ate a pint of ice cream and
then we headed back out and kept working the rest of the day. it
honestly just felt like any other day in the mission! our investigators
in the area are progressing with the lessons but they arent coming to
church. it is a big problem in this area because the church is a good 45
minute walk from the area that we are at and some of our investigators
live even farther out than that. they can take a bus out to the church
but a round trip will cost them 50 pesos and thats a lot around here so
its really tough to help them understand the importance and the
blessings that come from going to church. its really frustrating at
times to have all these people tell you that they will be there in the
church and then you show up on sunday morning and there isnt one
investigator there. ahh!! well we will keep working hard and hopefully
they will start to understand. some fun things that my comp and i did
this week is clean out our tanacko. A tanacko is basically a very large
container on the roof of your house that stores water so that when you
need to shower or wash dishes or anything like that, you´ll have water
to do it. then there is a pump that pumps water up and into it so that
it is always full. well our water started smelling weird and so we
decided to go up top and see what was going on. well we ended up finding
out that there was a 2 inch layer of dirt on the bottom of this huge
container so we had to drain all of the water and then clean it out! but
the good news is that now we have clean water that smells normal! yay.
Things here are going good and we have a lot of new potential
investigators so we´ll see how things go! anyways i love you guys and i
hope everyone is enjoying the christmas season!
Love,
Elder Herring
