This week has been crazy! Elder Hernandez and I have been trying to get to know this new area. When we got here we knew absolutely none of the members. In fact, we didnt even really know where our area limits were. There just wasnt too much information left so we had to start from scratch. However this past week we were able to find alot of great people. We found 2 people named Timoty and Victor who are from Togo Africa. They dont speak spanish very well so we were able to teach them in English. They have a super strong accent so its hard to understand them at times. They were able to show up to church with us yesterday! Also its been nice because there are alot more young people here in this area than there was in La Pastora. We hope to find alot of young people to teach.
We also have a new zone. In Paraiso we didnt have any sister missionaries. We now have 6 in the zone, and alot of new areas as well. We had our zone confernce this past week and Elder Hernandez and I gave a training to the zone about the changes in our lives. We are super excited to get to know the new missionaries and areas.
Oh it has also been raining like crazy here. I have never been in such thick rain. Here in Mexico there isnt a draining system in the streets so the streets just get flooded like a river. Thursday we were coming back home in a taxi and it was pouring rain. We didnt know the area very well and we took a wrong turn and we got to a street where the water was so deep that our taxi couldnt go any further. We had to get out of the taxi and the worst part is that we had all of our groceries. So there we were walking back with out grocries in the rain with water up to our shins! Oh well just another memory! Also, the Mexican World Cup team has been winning so the people have been more willing to receive us 😂👍 Hope you all have a great week!
Love, Elder Gibson
