This week has been a learning experience for sure. It has been very uplifting spiritually speaking and physically rough. I have been a little bit tired this week and it has been hard. Feeling a little bit dizzy at the end of the day. I am positive that it is a little bit of physical stress because we have been working up until 1020 every night...we are going to start to take some more time and relax a little bit because I have felt like I have been able to work 80% I just haven`t fulyl recovered from being sick. But I am getting better. Still working really well with elder santizo. We are doing everything possible to try and help out our Zone. WE ahave great misisonaries with a ton of potentiaol and I know that they are all making changes. We are just having a lot of patience and love so that we can feel the empathy towards them and help them to feel our love and support.
We had an amazing experience the other night where we were able to go to the temple with an investigator as he watched some of his friends and 8 of our recent converts enter into the temple for the first time. IT was incredible the spirit that was felt and the joy that we felt being able to help those converts up until that moment. We were pushing them to get a recommend and do whatever it takes to get off work in time. They all made the neccesary sacrifices and had an awesome experience in the temple.
This week at the end of the week we had the divisions with Elder rivera and jarvis that complicated things a little bit and we had a lot of our investigators that weren`t able to come to church for some reason or another and they let the little things get them. Howver, we were able to find out who are the elect and how we can help them. One of our recent converts (Elvis) was baptized a month and a half ago and blessed the sacrament for the first time today. " months ago we saw him drunk in the street with his friends making fun of him and robbing him. We thought "how sad..." but couldn`t really do anything. Then, he showed up at church with a recent convert and from that moment on he did everything he needed to to be baptized. We had another recent convert who received the priesthood yesterday and is studying to bless the sacrament next week.
This work is real and it is the most important and greatest thing that we can do. WE have had the opportunity to do studies and practices with every companionship and have seen progress in each of them. Elder Michael has been sick, but his faith has not been weakened. he is still excited to keep going with the new goals. Elder Wiggins and Gonzalez have improved and are verifying a lot better. The only thing that keeps them from progressing is a little bit of Pride. They have worked together well, but I feel as if Elder wiggins isn`t able to reach his potential with elder Gonzalez. Elder Gonzalez is great, he just has little moments that upset the spirit and unity.
I am sure that the Sol will help everyone. We have been praying and will continue to pray to find the balance in the Zone and I know that with patience and time, everything will be ok. Thanks for everything president and I hope you have a great week.
