Belina Family
theBelina family is doing good! we are helping the father
slowly stop smoking but they are still super good! the last time we went and
taught them.the mother asked me if i wanted another bag, so i wouldn't need to
use the same one always, haha! ltold her
that i am alright with just 1 bag,(my bag) because it is small,strong and looks
good.because the bag she wanted to give me was kind of large, old, and ugly...
haha! but she wouldn't take no for an answer! haha! so now i have two bags.
haha! she is super nice i used the bag she gave me yesterday and it was
actually alright. haha! their family will deffinitly be baptized but probably
not until after i get transfered! SAYANG! haha!
Burger Challange
this week not too much happened. this morning we were
able to get our support money again. we celebrated by eating at a burger place
called KEVINS. there me and my trainee Elder Pingol and Elder Benali (another
elder in our apartment) did what they call the MONSTER BURGER CHALLENGE! haha!
it is a burger with 2 buns, 5 patties, there are also a ton of fries and a
liter of lemonade! the challenge is to eat all of it in 5 min. haha!If you can
finish it within the time limit it is free, but if you cant it is 300P about 7
dollars. haha! doesn't seem like much but that is a lot of money here! haha!
Elder Wirthlin!(joseph) it felt just like one of those(AMRAP) workouts that we
did in weight lifting! before the time started you just sit there looking at
the food in anticipation! and when they started the timer we all started as
fast as we could trying to beat each other! ahaha! none of us finished in time
but me and elder benali were super close. i could have done it but for some
reason i got a lot more fries than the other elders. I only had a handful of
fries at the end and a bit of lemonade! haha! i am debating whether to try it
again...haha! I will send a picture of it haha! i also had an elder video it so
i will try to send that too.
How to Extend
Commitments and Always Improving
well not too much else happened this week! haha the
burger challenge was the highlight haha! something that i learned and practiced
this week was to be direct and not apologetic when extending commitments or
when explaining/ teaching a doctrine. i realized that when we are not direct/
confident they will not think that we are serious and will not do what we tell
them they need to do. i am also working on always looking people in the eyes
haha i think i have had a hard time doing that my whole life. haha! This week
and this next week i have been and will continue to try to become better as a
missionary.
