Well, it sounds like a good week back at home, busy as always.
Lots and lots of homework
and tests for ShayLynn, Oh, what fun! Hope the best for you when results get
back, and that you Morp date is a lot of fun!
Well this week was good
and bad. We had a TON of members come out with us to help us teach, which was
really cool. We even did splits, and my companion and I split up with different
Brothers in the ward to teach two lessons at the same time. My member ended up
dominating the lesson and talking the whole time, and we didn’t get to what we
had planned to teach, which was a little frustrating, but it is good to see his
excitement to teach. He is a return Missionary, and maybe he got carried away.
We know better for next time though how to work with him, but it was really
cool to try Splits out at last.
This week was a little
hard here for a couple of things. One, is that it was super super cold for a
few days this week, and since there is much less heating and air conditioning
in the houses, it affects the people more here and the don’t want to leave their
houses. And then we are still not having a lot of success finding new people,
so we don’t have many people to teach. We have learned that we need to depend
more on the Lord and the Holy Ghost. We need to look for him, and I mean really
look for him, and not just go along with the thought of following Him if or
when he wants to tell us something. Rather we need to be actively seeking for
Him and His guidance rather than passively waiting for it to come. And we need
to put an effort into developing the Gifts of the Spirit. So I am going to
focus on that this week. Discovering what Gifts I have been blessed with, and identifying
which ones I need to develop. I also learned that I needed to pray better, and
have been able to put into practice more sincere prayers. I invite everyone to
do the same. When we pray sincerely and just out of routine you just feel so
much better.
This Friday we were able
to see the movie Meet the Mormons! It is finally coming out over here in
Spanish, and it is in the theaters now, so we trying to invite everyone to go
and see it. It was really good, and I would love to see it in English :) The
cool thing was that we were able to see the part with the family in Cost Rica
talking with their actual voices, and weren’t dubbed like I’m sure they are in
the English Version :) It was really really good, I am excited to see the
effect that the movie has on the people.
I don’t think I heard
about how it went in the states. Have you all been able to see it? It has a
great message of how much potential we have as children of God, and how blessed
we can be as we live the gospel fully. I loved every one of the six stories it
showed. Hope everyone can see it if they haven’t!
I also just got back from
having another ingrown toenail cut out! Woohoo! So that was fun.
So, we are hoping to have
a wonderful next week as put into practice our humility and seek out the Spirit
to guide us.
Thanks for everything, I
Love you all!
