Either I am having some memory loss right now or literally nothing happened. Let´s see if I can remember something:
1.
Ok so first thing that I do remember is that I have a ton of packages
waiting at the mail office for me to pick up. You can really tell that
the Christmas season is starting because everybody´s family are sending
packages to their missionary. But the thing is is that the mailing
office is being super stubborn with their working hours. I have already
tried to go there twice and they are just always closed and it kinda
stinks because the place is super far from the office and I need to be
able to plan my schedule out the be able to take 3 hours to go there.
*tis the season to be jolly, falalalalalalalala.*
2.
Me and Elder Hidalgo went down to a place where we can buy a bunch of
stuff for super cheap. Being on duty in the office I went down there
with the intent of buying stuff for the new missionaries that will be
coming in after next week. But Elder Hidalgo had to go there because
Hermana Amato wanted us to get a fake Christmas tree for the Christmas
activity that is coming up this week. After we got back he set it up
downstairs and put a bunch of contact cards on it. I mean I really
haven´t felt any kind of holiday spirit this year but after he did that
it just made things feel a little better.
3.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot. So being the operations secretary I am in
charge of making sure everything works in the office like it should be.
So this week the printer stopped working. So I tried to contact the
place to see if we could get a technician out to help us out but as of
now nobody has answered me. So I started to try to figure the thing out
myself. I got it to work once for some reason but after awhile it
stopped working again. So retracing my steps I ended up figuring out how
to fix it for a bit but I found out that it would stop working was
because the factory sent us a bad ink cartridge which I was pretty mad
about. So I was (still am) pretty proud that I figured that out.
Well
it took me awhile but it looks like I did at least something this week.
But I think that the highlight (which was the only thing that stuck out to me in
the beginning) was the Christmas party that the ward had this week. We
really haven´t had any luck in finding people recently but we just had
faith that somebody would show up to the party that we could contact. We
saw a ton of miracles that day. Not only had ours prayers been answered
about finding people but we had an old investigator who was super close
to being baptized not only show up but also sat at the table with the
area presidency (Elders Carlos Godoy, Falabella, and Montoya) and in
the end the elders were able to get an appointment with him. The
activity was super great and I think that everyone there was glad that
they came.
love you all tons,
Elder Garbett
