so
this week was rough... their was a ton of stupid traveling, dealing
with some seriously DUMB missionary's, insufficient funds and well Sunday.
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
so
stupid traveling- my comp were in a bus for most of the week going to Cordoba (which is a 4 hr trip one way) for my comps legal papers which
btw are still not done. cruz el eje( a 1:30hr trip one way) for
interviews and district leader lessons for my comp. and la falda( a
1:30hr trip one way) to help out our lazy sisters get some baptisms and
for district meetings! LAME!!!!!! so we worked 1 day in our area last
week and so how managed to get some news and teach a family for their
baptism. CRAZY!!!
dealing
with stupid members and missionary's- so the members here are not like
they are back home. we had to assign talks for church and we literally
called ALL of our 15 members and they all said NO !!!!! LIKE WHAT THE
HECK!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT !!!!! so what we did was just had
all 6 of the youth give short talk / testimony's about their experiences
at efy and then my comp and i gave talks. que salami! and during priesthood meeting our two presidents got into a full on argument on whos
job it was to do visiting teaching so of course they look at me and try
and blame me for the fact that our area has a ton of menos activos and i
seriously dropped SOME CANE on these two dumb a old farts who want the
title of president but don't care for the people. needles to say visiting
teaching will be done by our presidents and members and the presidents
really dislike me hahahah! seriously it was bad i sorta regret it but no
biggy had to be done :P and then dang i dont know why god always trusts
young kids with super important jobs!? seriously some of these kids
just DO NOT GET IT! just pray for me please cause these elders are
killin me hah
insufficient
fund- so last month we had a 16 year old mini missionary with and and
while he was here he managed to blow all his money so we all had to help
him out which is no biggy it happens and he was super young but then he didn't bother to pay me back the 200 pesos i lent him then he proceeded
to steal another 200 out of my money.. what a little shart! then then
month my comp didn't get his monthly rashon of money because their was a
mistake at the office and for some reason the elder cant pay him the
money he needs to live( it was ugly when we where in Cordoba and the
elder in charge of finances didnt give him his cash) so we have been
living off of my personal funds and because of all the traveling i am
FLAT BROKE!!! i swear if my comp doesn't pay me back in full its gonna be
ugly!!!!
and
then Sunday- so my comp and i were awoken at a bright and early 4:30 to
a trashed 20 year old chick banging on our door demanding that we let
her in and that our house was hers. so for the next 3 hrs my comp and i
attempted calling the cops (4 time and by the way they didn't show),
attempting to help (which only made her even more ticked), and trying to
get her gone which eventually worked after like 3 hrs....
so highlights of her visit
1. woken up way to early thinking that we were about to get into an ugly fight
2. being called every bad word in Spanish and English (which was honestly impressive)
3.being offered sex to let her in hahahaha my comp and i couldn't stop laughing about that one
4. and having her punch a hole thru our glass back door
it was quite a way to start a day!
but
honestly it doesn't even matter because last Sunday i had the opportunity
to baptize a little girl. and seriously no matter how crappy or hard the
week is or how difficult the people are its all good because the feeling
of baptism just drowns out everything else. i love this work and im grateful that im here!
i love you all so much and thank you for everything and especially all your prayers they do make a difference!
"here she is, super sweet and so darn cute too :)"
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Elder Jackson
