Rain!!!

April 20, 2017

 

This week has been another good one. We have turned our efforts to the other companionships in our district to try and help all have some success this month. We have been doing attacks in some sectors to help them find people. This week I have been to the civil registry more than in my whole mission. The civil registry in Tierra Amarilla is able to help people get married a ton faster than in Copiapo. So we are getting ready for two or three weddings this week. One of the investigators that lives in Copiapo works in Tierra Amarilla during the week, so when he gets off we have been visiting him to help him out while he isn't at home. His name is Julio and he is going to get hitched this weekend! 

Something thing that didn't help this week was that I got sick for several days. It was terrible to be stuck in the house all day. I'm pretty sure my mini missionary comp was glad to have a break.  I keep having to remind myself that he isn't used to doing this every day. I had some flu-like symptoms, but am good now. I think it was just all the stress from the other week catching up to me. Thanks for all the support from home, I got to read some emails that y´all sent from my family! {from Cami: Several of you responded to the situation Cooper had with his companion 2 weeks ago. I copied these responses and sent them to him. Thank you again for your prayers on his behalf!!}

We had something VERY unusual this week...RAIN!!!! Everyone that lives here was panicking. All of the schools and work were cancelled for the day for a little rain. They say that it is going to happen again or something similar on the 31 of this month. This is the first time that I have seen rain since I left South Carolina!! They are calling for a red alert but I can't look into it more than what they tell me. Guess we will have to wait and see.

 

 

I hope that you all have a great week.

Love,

Elder Brayton
