Week 87 Back in Maldonado after 14 months!!!!!!!

Well so this week had a lot of ups and downs. The biggest down was that we couldnt get anyone to attend church this week and neither did the other 2 elders here in Rocha. Its been soo hard to get investigators to church and we have tried everything!! I dont think ive ever had such a hard time getting investigators to church until I came here to Rocha. On the bright side we had an okay week and saw a few small miracles along the way and I feel like we are making progress but its just a little slow is all. But we are making progress here! Um, so I finally got to go back to Maldonado after 14 months!! Maldonado is where I started my mission and I finally got to go back because we had a multi zone conference there and so we traveled there for the conference! I also got to eat a tortugon which is basically a giant hamburger/sandwich that is only made in Maldonado. It was so good!!! 

In other news I only have 100 days left in the mission field which is crazy but im trying not to think about it. We went to La Paloma today! It was sick! We got there last night and stayed the night with the elders there and then at 5 in the morning we went with them to the dock and watched the sunrise! It was magnificent!!!! Soo dope!!!! 

But yeah weve been working with our member list soo much here recently! Its soooo bad! The directions and addresses of people are really off and a lot dont even live here anymore or they have died and the member list just never got updated so were using it as a way to 1. clean up the member list so that missionaries and members dont have trouble in the future and 2. its also a great way to find new investigators and its been working pretty dang well for us as for now!! Im lovin it! But yeah things are really chill here in Rocha! If you guys want to know anything else be free to ask cause thats about all ive got for the week!
