Mudandome (Moving)

This week has been interesting. I am completely exhausted! We moved both the elders from the office and our own room this week. On Tuesday, we moved the elders from the office into a different apartment and then on Friday we moved our room into a different apartment after the multizone conference. The elders in the office were moving to a building on the sixth floor and we moved to the fourth floor.. so that was fun. We had to move a fridge, washer and dryer, 2 couches, and a bunch of bookshelves up 6 flights of stairs! So yeah, I'm pretty tired. 

Not only that, Elder Velasquez and I went to the gym on Monday and I started getting up at 6:10 a.m. this week to be able to workout more. But yeah, apart from that, it's been a super good week. 

We had a really good lesson with familia Roncal and committed them to not open their restaurant on Sunday.. but they did. We were super sad because only Johan came to church because of that. We're going to try to get a base of faith before we try to hit them with the day of rest again. We figure maybe they understand it, they just don’t have enough faith to leave the business on Sundays. 

On Wednesday, Aracely and Manuel and Melissa, from my first area in Chao, came up because Aracely is finishing her mission papers! It was pretty nuts because Melissa came up with their baby. The baby was born a week before I left Chao and now…. The baby is almost a year old! Ten months old! Wow. That really hit me. Time flies and I'm old in the mission. I was telling them it's nice to actually know what they´re saying now haha. Melisa said, “I always told you that you had cool ties and I liked them”, and I honestly don’t remember that.. My Spanish has come a LOOONG way. Super cool moments!

Apart from that, not much happened. The sisters had a baptism, Karito, and she wanted me to baptize her. It got me pretty hyped to baptize Irvin. He literally asked us if he could get baptized earlier! He just can't for the time because we still need to teach him the rest of the lessons. But, he's gonna get baptized the 30th si o si (yes or yes - this means, it's going to happen no matter what.)

Had a super great fast this week. We hadn’t been finding nor teaching much this week thanks to all the stuff we´ve been doing. On Sunday, after our fast though, we went OFF! Found 4 new people that are all "Inka Kolas" (Cory gave a description of an "Inka Kola" a few weeks ago. It means they are "golden" and the best) and got 3 investigatores that came to the Christmas devotional on Sunday with the first presidency, so yeah, pretty good week. Really not a TON, but it's been pretty chill. 

Anyway, that’s all for this week fam. Love you all, see you soon fam. (On the big screen on Christmas Day.)

Tu hijo fiel, Elder Rokovitz

                                                                                  

P-day last week watching The Best Two Years and eating no-bake cookies.

Seven of us in a taxi. Still can't see two of them, but Jose Luis is behind the driver and Johan is behind him, which you can barely see.

Don't worry, your smart boy was buckled up and safe.
