I can’t believe that I have been in the mission for six months.
A 1/2 year in the mission is crazy, it feels like I just started yesterday. The
weeks are going by crazy fast it feels like I was just here writing. The time
in general is just moving crazy fast.
Thanks for fasting for
me, I may not have the highest numbers but I do love the mission and am having
lots of fun. We fasted this week for our investigators. There is one in
particular who is in a pretty rough spot in life. He has no job so he is never
able to buy food and he has no family that lives here close to him. He was
always really sad. When we first met him we told him that he could change his
life if he wanted. And we said one of the ways is going to church. He has come
to church the past two weeks. Yesterday he went to church and later we found
out he got a job. It is really cool to see the gospel changing this guy’s life
and happiness it is bringing him.
Fasting has been going
well here in the mission we have seen lots of miracles for example yesterday
with that guy finding a job. At one point we were fasting 2 or 3 times a week
because our zone leaders asked the zone to do so. We found out later that we weren’t
supposed to be fasting that often and actually we are only supposed to fast
once or twice a month.
We still have
appointments to eat with members every day, well every day but Monday. We eat
on our own on Mondays last week we went to subway and we will probably do that
again today. The same members do feed us every day. It is actually pretty good
usually, just it is kind of boring right now because it is cold and everyone
makes the same soup called caldo. Last week we did divisions and I worked in Cuauhtémoc
for three days and I got to eat really well. We had this toasted bread with
beans on top with melted cheese that was way good. We got that with tortillas
of flour and also like burger meat mixed with potatoes and Chile and we got a
dessert of ice cream. Another day we got pizza burritos and soup.
I am getting along
really well with my companion. He is really cool, and I am learning a lot from
him too. I also get along really well with the other two elders next door they
are really cool too that is Elder Babb and Elder Perez. Today we all made
breakfast together breakfast burritos, eggs, hotdogs, and rice. I am getting
along well with the zone too we just aren’t with them much.
Sorry I don’t have pictures this week, and I spent a lot of my time today downloading
talks and Mormon messages to my usb.
Love
Elder Blanchard
