Jamundi - Week Seventeen

This week is probably my last week in Jamundi, and I kind of can't wait to get transferred. I feel like I baptized the only 4 people who can progress in all of Jamundi! If I stay here, well, I don't know what I can do for another 6 weeks. All of our investgadors SAY that they'll go to church on Sunday, it's like we won't even bring up going church and then as were leaving they say, "This week I'm gonna go to church!" And then they never come. In fact, the other 2 missionaries in the district, Elder Smith and Almeida, went to the house of the mission president last week to just talk about their area because nobody in Jamundi wants to go to church. So yeah, Even though I have all these friends, I'm kind of done.

The other thing is that whenever there's a national soccer game (this problem I think is nationwide) is that we literally can't work. I know when Colombia has a game because I leave the house in the morning to buy breakfast and everyone is in their yellow soccer jerseys. And I know when Colombia scores because EVERYONE, the entire city starts screaming., This week there was a game and we just kind of walked around for 2 hours, because nobody wanted to talk to us. I don't know what to do during this time. 

The only investigador I'm excited to work with is someone I met this week. We always take this shortcut on the way to lunch and sometimes there's people smoking weed in this park, and this week one of these stoners starting talking to me in perfect English (I say perfect because normally the kids try to talk to me in awful English that they learn at school) and said that he was baptized in Florida and went to church for 2 years or so, but had to move back to Colombia and didn't know where to find the church again. We went to his house and he introduced us to his mom who isn't a member and we had a really good lesson. This guy started tearing up during the lesson, and he and his mom went to church on Sunday. The mom just has to get married and he needs to stop smoking, and drinking. It'll be a process but tha'ts why were here, no?

I think for Thanksgiving were going to make pie at a members house, and when I say we I mean Elder Smith because he actually knows how to make pie. Turkey is expensive and were all poor. lol 

Love you guys. Stay chillin!
