Explosions, and more!

Well, this week was a crazy one! One thing about our companionship having callings in the branch is that I feel like we´re always doing stuff for the branch and with members and we don´t ever have a ton of time for contacting or for investigators or anything. That's okay though, because we are definitely kept busy with all of the other stuff.

Quick story, Saturday morning we had an activity at the church, and when we arrived people went inside, and everything was good. The light usually comes on at 7 o'clock, and when it arrived, there was a big explosion-y sound. Well, we went out, and the little concrete shed thing that houses the propane, and the electrical box was cracked down the side, and the roof was off, and there was smoke rising up. After some investigating through the day, and some people from the capital driving out to take a look at it, we concluded that there had been a leak of propane, and when the electricity arrived, it sparked the explosion. The problem was that the propane should have been housed somewhere separately, and not in such a non-ventilated space. The good news is, everything still works, and no one was hurt, but man was that a crazy start to my day!

Other than that, I am still just getting used to my assignment. I counted tithing on Sunday for the first time, which was super frustrating because the branch counselor did not want to go through steps to verify each slip with the amount in the envelope, but my Spanish has progressed enough that I can give boches when I need to (A boche is pretty much a stern talking to, Synonym of spitting fire), and we eventually got on the same page.

Haha, things are great though! I really do love this area, and the branch, and my comp, and my roommates! Life is good, and I can not wait for Sunday! Merry Christmas!!!
