YEAH... the month mark has hit... it is SO weird. But my companion still has no idea I go home this transfer so there is absolutely no trunkiness here and were hitting the pavement talking and preaching to everyone we can!
PONDERIZING SCRIPTURES: I forgot them.... so thats sad. NEXT WEEK.
TUESDAY: still rather dying from the stomach infection all day, BUT we were able to get a member to take us around in her car and get a ton of references and get to know the pueblos in our area! Betty and Alexis deserve many many blessings for all the help theyve given us. BEST MISSION LEADER EVER.
WEDNESDAY: woke up like a resurrected being and fully loaded to go contact a ton. Opening area in the first week or so is COMPLETELY just talking to EVERY person in the street and thats exactly what weve been doing.
THURSDAY: Zone training we set an awesome theme BE INSTRUMENTS IN THE HANDS OF GOD. Helped us really concentrate on how we are absolutely NOTHING in comparison with the spirit working with us. We have a great zone full of energy and diligence to work in this amazing work. Saw our investigators Francisco and Elena and their humble poor family and had an AWESOME lesson getting them all to have their own desire to go to church and feel the spirit teach them more. Also met with some members of the ward to get them ¨making dirt¨ with us. But ended the day with an emergency call from bishop to help play piano at a catholic funeral for a part member family.... that was interesting. Not sure what was worse, the death stares from the die-hard catholics or the fact that I was next to a dead body for about an hour.
FRIDAY: had interviews with president... hes already practically forcing be to go trunky making me plan my first 15 days at home. so friends and family if you have suggestions of things I can do in the first 15 days HELP ME OUT... cause I know its gonna be weird. Got the trust of an 18 year old teenager here to try out divisions with us to see if she could go on a mission. Marlene (or Marley). contacted all over the place in a place that could be characterized as Egypt with all the sand and dirt flying into our eyes and mouth. It was so bad that my COMP got sick... hah so it was just a week of being sick practically.
SATURDAY: Divisions was awesome. Had many lessons with Marlene and I as companions. Told her about my best friends conversion story and she openly said ¨well then lets go to my best friend and see if shell accept¨ AND SHE DID. WEre already teaching her and her family. They even gave us cake and fruit punch. She was so overjoyed by seeing her friend accept the gospel that she almost started running showing me other friends and old investigators shes known in the past. SO MUCH SUCCESS just in a few hours with a member. ANd in the end she told me she wants to be a missionary. We had a good hug. SO proud of her and honored to be by her side in that lifechanging moment for her.
SUNDAY: Stake conference was great! All spoke on the importance of missionary work, temples, and family. IN that order. So that was a big answer of things I have planned for after the mission. TEMPLE get aways. All are invited. PLease respond if you wanna be temple buddies one day. MOREEE than willing to go. But worked alot with the members as well getting everyone participating preparing for a missionary activity in a few weeks. Another talent show so that should be a lot of fun.
Hope you all are well. Its gonna be weird seeing you all face to face and not just pictures on a computer BUTTT bear with me on the change. LOVE YOU ALL:
