scott and jethro are cleaning the offices?? really?? they are going to make straight bank! but that is a lot of work with just them....hopefully it works out!!! oh and rachael is working at costa finally!!! lemme tell you, i still have the whole entire costa line memorized and its pretty funny how it is fried into my brain "hi welcome to costa vida, what can i get for you today?...flour, whole wheat, or corn tortilla?...Rice and beans?....black pinto or refried?" etc! haha i actually had a dream the other day that i got to eat a raspberry chipotle chicken quesadilla ahah man i relaly miss it:) but good for rachael! she better be the hardest worker so she doesnt ruin the collins name;)
So about your calling, I understand that it is probably really tough....but idk, for me at least, seeing the people down here that go inactive because the ward just doesnt have a calling to give them is common....so idk, there is a reason that you have the calling you have, and the lord knows yoour capabilities and what you can do. So i would just say be grateful for the calling you have, and to try to make the best of it!:) i know thatll be hard, but its really all that you can do ha Keep on pushin:)
THis week for me was a good week! so as you guys know our ward lost two elders, so now there is only 4 of us, so our sectors got changed. Now our sector is twice as big and so we have tons of work to do now to get to know it! But Our big goal this week was to get as many people to church as possible and so we litterally invited all of our investigaters and Less actives and we didnt have the greatest turn out..but 2 investigators came and 3 less actives came for the first time in over a year and a half. So Itwas a huge step in the right dirrection!! we are going to keep inviting people to sacrament because litterally its there in the chapel that people are converted and feel really apart of something so good like a family. Idk sacrament is powerful:)
To answer your question about what i do on p days here it is, so first we get up and do our excercize and shower, then we do an hour of personal study followed by an hour of compañionship study. Then we are free to do what we want, so first we always go and buy our food for the week for the first hour then we either clean up the pension a lot or we go where we asked permision to go(every friday when we do our weekly planning we also have to plan for pday where if we want to go somewhere outside of our ward we ask president for permission) Then after we finnish what we wanted to do we just chill in the pension or go play soccor until 5 when we go write for an hour and a half to finish off our pday. then starting at 7 we work in the sector until 10 then plan for the next day, write in journals, eat a bit, and go to bed by 1130. Elder silva and i love to go on hikes, for example today we hiked up this huge mountain up to this massive virgin mary that is there and it was pretty cool! ill send some pics! we planned it with Elder Pile so i was able to see him a gain which was super cool:)
But for new years we just had a normal day other than we had dinner with a family in our ward(the same family that i skyped at) and we had tastey sushi:) but that really was it this week!! loving it to death out here! and am just so excited for the next 20 months:)
Love you all!
