Happy Monday!! (that`s my catchphrase of Pday)
How is everyone doing?? This week has literally flown by and I`m sitting here in our slow internet yet again!
Monday
we had a normal P day.. we went to a market close by and did a little
bit of shopping.. and then when P day finished we were able to enjoy two
family home evenings. We saw the Joseph Smith movie with Graciela who
loved it.. she would be progressing a lot faster if her family was
involved, but ever since their pastor told them they shouldn`t receive
us it has been a little harder for her. After we had our second family
home evening with a less active sister and her nonmember husband. We
shared about how important the gospel is in our families to help us move
forward and overcome the obstacles in life.
Tuesday we had our district meeting and then had a rather short day of lessons..but here is where the cool part comes in.. Tuesday
night I had a dream that we went to our ward secretary`s house and that
his mom and sister were there... not a very normal dream because I have
never been to his house, it is in the Elder`s area.. Wednesday
morning, we went to go do service with the Elders.. when we got to the
house, it was the house of the ward secretary.. and inside were his mom
and sister.. just like I had dreamed.. Probably one of the coolest
things! So we helped them carry bricks and cement to construct another
part of their house... lots of hard work. Afterwards, we went to eat
with a member of the ward and then we headed to a work visit. I stayed
with Hna Paez (Mexico) in her area while Hna. Zarate and Hna. Moe worked
in our area. We had a lot of good lessons during the day and I got to
know Hna Paez a little better, she is a new missionary and she is really
cute!
Thursday
we had our weekly planning and we are realizing that we desperately
need new investigators.. sadly we have lost many due to some
difficulties.. later we did divisions and were able to have 12 lessons..
awesome!! We were able to meet some really great people during the day
and I am praying that they will progress. Friday
we were busy during the morning and then the afternoon we had a meeting
with the assistents.. After we were ale to visit only a few people
including Maylin, who is progressing towards her baptism this Sunday!!
Saturday
we helped a sister in our ward decorate her preschool during the
morning and then in the afternoon we had another work visit. Hna Cadenas
came with me in my area to visit. We were in the middle of a lesson and
a man walked in and asked if we were Mormons.. we responded yes! He
then said.. what a pain.. uh oh.. we didn`t see this going down a good
road.. He talked and talked and bashed and bashed as Hna Cadenas and I
sat patiently listening... At the end of his talk I invited him to pray
and to read Isaiah 29 that talks about the coming forth of the Book of
Mormon and we left.. It was a struggle for me not to burst out.. but I
have realized that contention does not come from God.. a big lesson I
have learned here in the mission.
Sunday
was better and we had quite a few investigators come to church, Arlleth
got confirmed and then we had the day to visit. I am really thankful
for all the blessings that my Heavenly Father gives me every day. I know
without a doubt that He loves each and every one of us and is always
there when we need Him. I love you all, thanks for the support you give
me!! Take care!!
