But
another cycle down! Scary fast! Got the transfer list earlier today.
There are only two missionaries in my zone leaving. One of them is
because he is going home so that was a given. My district will be the
exact same for next cycle so I won't be losing or gaining anybody. I
really like the Elders and Sisters I have in my zone right now so I'm
not disappointed at all. The week this week was another iffy week. Not
much luck but we did what we could.
Tuesday, we had the
last zone lunch after district meeting. Went to Chicboy again. Getting
sick of that place...but it's always fun with the entire zone! We knew
that Elder Frank was going home so it was the last one with him and we
didn't know who else was going to transfer. Lunch was pretty good then
we went straight into splits. I was going to have to go to Elder Latu
and Elder Cruzit's area later that day for the baptismal interview so I
just decided to make splits out of it since I hadn't split with them yet
this cycle. I worked with Elder Cruzit and we had a pretty good day! We
dropped by one members house that had a referral to give to us and they
also told us that Sister Weber (a teacher from the MTC) was coming back
to Cauayan Mission the first week of May and going to visit them. They
were super excited about that. After a few appointments we went back to
where the interview was going to be. I've seen interviews be an hour
long and I've seen interviews be like 6 minutes so I wasn't sure how it
was going to go. The interview went well which was super nice for my
first interview. Lasted about 15 minutes maybe. Always nice to get the
first one over with. I think the next ones will be a lot easier now.
Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday were normal days of work. Didn't go the best
either. We got a referral that sounded promising. It was a family that
had been waiting to listen to the missionaries for over a month. Would
have been nice if we would have gotten the referral a month ago huh?
Well we went to go contact them the day we worked in that area and they
weren't there. We'll probably go back there tomorrow so hopefully they
will be there. The people that we were able to teach this last week
wasn't anybody new. Nobody we teach wants to progress. It feels like
people will just listen to you because they don't want to say no. It
seems like that with less actives and investigators. So normally that
would mean find new investigators right? Well we find new investigators
then they only want to listen to the first couple because they don't
want to say no then they give you an excuse to stop listening. I think
almost a month now it has felt like that here in this area. But also it
seems like it's almost always like that here. I don't know if I said
this before but even the members know. They always ask us how the work
is and before they even let us answer they say "There's no progress
right? Difficult here in San Pedro. There's always nobody progressing."
So it's like the members already know what it's like but they still
don't want to help at all. But when it comes to stuff like that you can
really just worry about yourself and try and kill the work and get some
success. We keep praying for it and hope it comes soon.
Saturday
morning we had a service over in the ZL's area. We did more weeding but
it wasn't as bad as the last one with the chili plants. Having a
service assignment is always fun to switch up the week a little bit.
Finished the service around 11 so we thought we'd hit lunch real quick
with Elder Frank before he left. Just some of the Elders that we are
close with. I heard a lot about Elder Frank when I was in Bambang and I
finally got to meet him when I came here to Roxas. I had a good couple
cycles with him and it was cool to say bye.
This week went by
super fast even though we didn't get the success we wanted with the
work. Hope everyone has a great week this week! Love you all!
Love Elder Haacke
