After Correlation we had appointments on opposite sides of the city so we had a division with members, the member I was with had to go back early so he dropped me off at the chapel where there was a meeting with some of the leaders so I could safely wait there. Long story short, I was alone at the chapel for an hour haha. That is a weird feeling as a missionary because we have a rule that we always have to stay together. I called the Zone Leaders because the member's phone that Elder Angulo was with died, to let someone know, then had to call Presidente Tavares to let him know. He was not happy with the situation. Well they eventually returned and we made it back home safely.
We met Ires who was super confused with the doctrines of other churches and all the faults and differences that they have despite having the same Bible, and who decided that none of them were right so she would just read the Bible alone. Explained the Restoration to her she enjoyed hearing it and receiving a Book of Mormon. She had a Gospel Principles book in her house too.
When we returned to our appointment with Claudia she was super embarrassed because the cover of their Book of Mormon was completely destroyed by their Dog but we explained that it doesn't matter because the pages inside are all good. She felt so bad about it that despite offering a new book to her she decided to get it fixed by a Paperleria.
There are a ton of Romanians, literally a ton here so i have been learning a few phrases in Romanian to say to them, its pretty fun and they like it haha. I ran another 5k in 23:01, I´m getting faster haha.
Elder Angulo and I have been doing some pretty deep doctrine studying, focusing on 1 point in the missionary lessons and learning it really well. We joke that we study to teach a Pastor. I have been studying Pre-mortal life and have found many verses in the Bible that explained that we lived with God before this life it has been interesting to look into it deeper and makes it a lot easier to teach.
This is likely my lasrt week in Montijo We are going to make it count!
