On Monday after
writing, my companion was all depressed and didn't want to do anything so we
went and ate and then I took a nap while he read and prayed and got his spirits
back in order. Then we went to chosica and fixed my radio so that I can listen
to music! That was nice. We took a taxi to chosica and when Elder Lascano
reached into his pocket to pay, the cell phone fell out onto the seat and I
looked down at it but didn't think anything of it. We got out and didn't even have
time to shut the door and the taxi was gone and our cell phone as well. We
prayed and I prayed we could have a miracle and for some reason I felt that we
would and never lost the hope. Anyways, a new cell phone would cost 80 soles
(40 a piece) so Elder Lascano decided he wanted some spiritually up lifting
food. Pizza!!!!! We went to Godfathers Pizza and he bought a pizza for 30
soles!! And wouldn't let me pay so I got pizza!! We went and taught a lesson
after that. Tuesday I can't remember what we did but I can tell you we did
nothing. Elder Lascano has been so worried about his leg and he can't hardly
walk much and he has been all depressed so I'm pretty sure Tuesday we taught
like 1 lesson. Wednesday was the same way. Elder Lascano has lost all his ambition
about the work and won't hardly get up in the morning and won't do anything
during the day so Wednesday we had maybe 1 lesson as well... I don't know what
to do so I'm just being obedient for myself and studying ad being super patient
for him since he is depressed and unhappy and what not haha. On Wednesday
though I saw the taxi that we lost our phone in and so I chased it down and
said in rough Spanish that we lost our cell phone in your car on Monday. He
looked at me like an idiot, shook his head and finger at me and zoomed off
haha. For some reason I still had faith though. Thursday Elder Galindo
(missionary from the CCM in my mission) went to a training with the President
and all the other new missionaries. It was very good and uplifting!! I loved it!
We went to distribution, the temple store. I bought a video of President Monson
and a case for my Spanish scriptures, both Bible and Book of Mormon and some
stickers. We then made our way to Burger King and ate there and came back to
chosica! What a fun day and a nice break!! Then after Elder Galindo was safely
at home with his companion, Elder Martinez and I made our way back from their
area to our area and it just so happened that we got the same taxi that we lost
our cell phone in!!! How does that happen!!! Then I told Elder Martinez that
this was the taxi and the guy overheard me and said it was at his house and he
would give it back tomorrow!!!!!!!!! How does that happen!! These people are so
dishonest but Saturday morning we got it back!! What a miracle!! What a
blessing!! Friday was pretty sad as well. Elder Lascano went to the Doctor on
Friday and they just gave him pain pills so he was depressed and had absolutely
no ambition and I think we taught like 1 lesson.... Saturday was bad too
because we taught 1 lesson. I had an awesome fast Sunday though! and now we are
back to Monday! Elder Lascano goes to the Doctor on wednesday and hopefully
gets transferred out on Tuesday of next week. If this happens we will have some
new fire in our area and will be able to be missionaries, not lazy bums haha.
That was my week in a nutshell. Nothing too spiritual and hopefully the coming
weeks are better for missionary work. I am happy and content in this area
because the people are amazing but we need to go to work or else I will
eventually go insane! Thanks for the help and support! Oh Yeah, and we might
change penchtanistas(the lady who cooks for us and washes our clothes) Tuesday
because ours is so far away! Love you! Keep me in your prayers! I'll do the
same for you! Thanks for everything!!
Love Elder Jones
