Hola a todos!! October 20, 2014
Mom, Congrats on your new calling!!! You will be an awesome Relief Society President! It's kinda funny, because this morning I was thinking about callings
that you and Dad have had, and was wondering if you have ever been President of
Primary or Relief Society...hahaha I can tell the future. Okay, no but you'll
be good. Dad, do you have a new calling or still the gospel doctrine
teacher? The rolls came out Green!?!?!? hahahaha What did you do to your bike
to make it look smashed?
THIS week was really fast. I'm kind of scared...I don't know how
to hold on to the time here. Ugh!
We are trying really hard to contact families here, but man it's
frustrating when they say "soy catolica." OR quite common "Soy
testigo de Jehova."
"Yeah, that's fine! Can we sweep your patio? Or clean your
dishes?" Guess what, nobody wants to accept service! We're gonna have to
start getting creative.
But we did contact a young married woman last night! And when we
told her about families, she looked pretty interested. There's hope there :)
A recent Convert received the Aaronic Priesthood Yesterday! And
is now ready for the Melchezidek just in time because Stake Conference is next
week! Woo! It's really awesome to see them enduring to the end because Eduardo,
the convert, has had a really hard time, and now he and his daughter are doing
really well.
We are trying to work with the members more, and this week a
recent convert, youth, came with us to a lesson. The investigator, Aida, wasn't
acting all too interested, and so if the lesson didn't go well, we were going
to let her go, but what do you know? She asked about a million questions!!! It was REALLY good, and what's more, she saw
the testimony of Ricardo, the youth that came with us. She is REALLY nice and
really has faith in God, but is really busy because she cares for her whole
family, and her Mom was just diagnosed with cancer. Hopefully we can progress
with her.
One of the hardest things here is getting people to go to church
at 8:00am. We have awesome lessons, and they really want to learn more, but
when Sunday comes..."es que no me despertè!" or "I didn't wake
up!" or It's just too early!"
Just for those of you who have to sacrifice sleep or something
else...Remember that sacrifice brings blessings :) Lots more than you can
imagine!
Here on the mission I am learning BASTANTE about the scriptures.
I can't believe I read so little before my mission!! Agh! There's so much to
learn! And while I'm reading the scriptures, I learn a lot from what I read,
but then I feel like I forget what I just learned 30 chapters ago! And that's
why we have to read them over and over and over and over again.
Right now I'm in 3 Nephi where the Nephites defeated the
Gadianton Robbers, but only because they put all of their strength in
him.
" 10 But
in this thing they(the Gadianton robbers) were disappointed, for the Nephites
did not fear them; but they did fear their God and did supplicate him
for protection; therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them
they were prepared to meet them; yea, in the strength of the Lord they did
receive them."
I was thinking how much difference there would be if we put our
strength in the Lord like that. I don't know how it is to go into battle. I
think it would be pretty scary. But if we rely on the Lord...well..all things
are possible! All things :)
Thanks for everything! Love you guys! Have an awesome
week!
