This week was exhausting and auxhilerating at the same time.
We had changes nad got a bunch of new misisonaries in the Zone, and I got
new Companion. His name is Elder Conrad and he is from Logan, UT. He is a
stud and is really similar to Marshall (my uncle) so it is fun. We both love to
cook, sing, and smile...so we are using those talents to help the people here.
it has been really fun and I am looking forward to the time we have together.
It has been exhusting because it got SUPER hot this week and
it hs drained our energy. However, we have had a ton of awesome things
happen that have helped us to be super excited about the new changesw as
well. We have 4 new missionaries straight from the MTC in our zone, and changes
in almost all the companionships which means a LOT of energy and excitement,
and a lot of opportunities to learn.
We had couple of miracles happen this week. One of
them being a visit that we did with the young mens president and 3 of the
deacons. We went to vsit a couple familes and we ended up finding a few new
investigators. We were able to teach a great lesson and use the deacons to do
examples and have them help us to teach. it was great because we were planning
on just visiting less actives but we ended up ahving the opportunity to
teach a lesson to new investigtors from the beginning to the end nad the
deacons got to see a little bit what missionary work is. IT was great.
Another miracle was that we werewalking in the street
heading to our next lesson was that we had set a goal to talk to everyone! We
headed towards a lady with a stroller to contact her and as we were about to
open our mouths...she said"Hola Elder!" WE were so surprised and we
got to talking. she said that she was goig to the church in Bolivia and she
just moved here but she was never baptized. IT was a miracle because we were
looking for new people to teach that had a desire to learn, not just to talk to
two americans.
And the miracle that helped me to stay strong the most is
when Gonzalo (22 years olds) who gets baptized on the 30th, called me last
night just to see how our day went and to let me know that he isn`t gonna let
his friends get him down anymore and that he considers us his best friends. He
isn`t even a member yet and he already goes out on visits with us and is
bringing his friends to church. I know that people chagne their lives when they
come to know and feel the truth of what we have. I know that I am not wasting
my time, no matter what anyone says. And i Know that this is the best thing and
the only thing that I should be doing right now.
I hope that everyone is doing great and that you are all
accepting the changes in your lives and taking advantage of them to help change
you. I lvoe you and hope you have a good week!
