The bread... well I made it, but a lot of stuff happened and I couldn't get it to them. I only gave one away and sold another one to one of the companionships in my district while we were visiting them. The rest I ate and shared with my companion. It was about a loaf a day that I ate, and now I'm kind of tired of making it because it takes so much effort to buy all the stuff, carry it to the capilla, and then carry all the stuff back when I'm done. I don't think I'm going to make it this week, but when I do do it again, I think I'm just going to keep it small and to myself or just a loaf or two for the whole zone, not an order of 6 loaves apart from the ones I make for myself.
I think I spent more of this week away from my area than in my area. Tuesday we had intrevistas with the presidente. I took full advantage of the opportunity to ask a few gospel questions about feeling the spirit and what to do if two people claim to have the spirit but receive opposite messages. It helped me a lot. Then presidente told me that I was going to have changes Friday, (which obviously didn't happen) and that I would get a "buen compañero". I felt bad but... I just don't know. Anyway, I'm waiting today to hear if I'm going to have a change this week, or if they're going to wait to do the change until next week when we really do have changes.
Thursday and Friday we traveled all the way to Colotenango so that my comp could do interviews for some baptisms they're going to have there. Other than that, we haven't really gotten anything new. We did help fix a pila for Hna. Rosa, a menos activa, who stopped going to church when her husband died. Now she's saying that she might come to church one day when she has time... It's a work in progress. We're teaching her, soon to be, daughter-in-law. She's not married yet, but they have a kid. That's really common here. It's really hard to get all the papers to get married apparently.
Anyway, while we were on our way to Colotenango, we had to get out of the bus and walk the rest of the way to Colotenango, which is at the top of a mountain, because there was a landslide over the road. We took pictures and I saw Cebu! I was singing the song of the Cebu as we were hiking up to Colo. I thought it was kind of funny. Unfortunately, no one was there who could understand what I was talking about. Now I just need to find a water buffalo.
Well, we'll see what happens these next few days. I'll let you know where I am next time. I'm glad grandma and grandpa are safe. I love you all.
