If only I could run as fast as the
time, then maybe the mission wouldn't fly by so FAST!
Yay for completed with the goals!! Okay,
not 100%, but when I got here, and they told me the norm of what happens in Los
Cabos I was a bit worried about how we were going to help. I have to admit, a
lot of the people here are so polite, and then we teach a lesson and SAZ, we
find that it's still not their time. But it's okay, because we are planting
lots of seeds :) So, we do lots of street contacting, and first lessons, and a
couple new investigators :) Hay va, hay va.
We have what they call an eternal investigator,
because he has had ALL the lessons, always goes to church, reads the Book of Mormon...but
he doesn't want to get baptized yet. The other day, he opened up a little more
and said that he hasn't really been praying. So, there's a huge indicator of
the importance of prayer! If we want to know the truth, and want direction in
our life, we have to ask the One who knows it all! And if we have fear of knowing
the truth...well...that's another story. We have to trust and have faith that His
plan is better than ours.
We are teaching a part-member
family, and the Dad is the only one who hasn't been baptized. But he has a
desire to learn, and he even asked us how to do a family-home evening, so
that's what we're going to do in about 2 hours :)
And man! Yesterday we had a family
home evening super powerful! And it was especially because the family had
invited one of their friends. We taught the restoration, and it was awesome to
see the family remembering and testifying of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.
The spirit was strong.
Sad story of the day: no computer
wants to recognize my sd card. So, that's why you haven’t received photos for a
while.
Funny story of the week...last week,
actually, we were walking close to the beach, and there are always tourists in
this part. We passed a couple looking at a map, and looking pretty confused. After
walking passed them, I decided I had to try and help...hahaha with my awesome English
skills. It was pretty pathetic as I tried to help because I only had 1 week in
the area, and have no idea what to tell them. My companion knew more than I
did, so I translated for her, and...hopefully, we actually helped them find
their destination. Can I just say it's super hard to speak English!
My companion, Hermana Martinez, is
super awesome. She's 25, and from Pachuca Hidalgo, Mexico. She studied...gastronomy.
And knows how to cook lots of stuff :P She's super patient while I learn this
area and she knows her stuff :)
I love being a missionary!! I know
this is the only time I'll get to testify 24/7 of this message, and I know it's
something that I'll never forget. If anyone wants to know what to do with
his/her life...go on a mission!
Be happy!!
