 Walking through bamboo trees to get to clinic for flu shots

Zone Maraba May 31, 2017

Hello!!

We had a good week. We had our zone conference with the president on Wednesday and interviews on Tuesday. We were advised on Sunday night that we would have to give a training for 30 minutes at the conference. We also had to organize the interviews and where everyone was going to sleep and whatnot so we had very little time to prepare, but it went well.

After the zone conference we had to take  a flu shot. Everyone in the whole mission has to take this flu shot. We had to walk super far to find this place with the entire zone. Finally we found it and everyone was looking at us weird because there was 14 missionaries in this little vaccine house with sister crying not wanting to get a shot, but it all worked out. It was actually fun because in the waiting room there was a big TV showing the cameras throughout the building. There was a camera in the room where everyone had to go to get the shot so we got to see everyone get the shot haha!

Last week we went to eat lunch at a members house and there were 2 guys there eating lunch as well. They are not members so we talked with them during lunch and got their address and whatnot. We visited one of them this week and he is super interested. He lives alone and has 21 years. We always say that the person is an elect if they give us food on the first visit, and he gave us lots of food! We will work a lot more with him.

We have been teaching one lady for a long time. She has already gone to church 3 times and her 22 year old daughter went once. We taught her the Word of Wisdom this week and she accepted to live it and stop drinking coffee. So of course, we threw her coffee away! We threw it in the gutter next to her house! She was happy and committed to keep the commandment. Her daughter was not there during that lesson and apparently she was not very happy when she got home and learned that we threw away her coffee. When I called her to mark our next visit she was not very happy with us, but we went there Saturday night and taught the whole family the Word of Wisdom and now everyone will stop drinking coffee!!

Tomorrow we have our meeting in Belém. Our plane leaves here at 1:15 so we will have to leave here and go straight to the airport. But that's about it for this week.

Love yall!
