This has been another extremely fast week! I´ll try to remember a little of what happened...
So Tuesday
we had Zone Conference with President. We didn´t have to give a
training because the Assistants and President gave the trainings and
they were both way good. The Assistants gave a super good training about
the scripture 1 Kings 18:21
which says ´´And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long
halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if
Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.´´
Basically in this chapter Elijah was sent to Samaria because the people
there were worshiping the prophets of Baal. In this scripture he told
them to stop being wishy washy and follow God or follow Baal. They
applied this to us as missionaries because we need to be 100% dedicated
to this work. We can´t be wishy washy missionaries that want to work
sometimes or want to be obedient when it is convenient. This can also
apply to our lives as members of the church!
This week we had a lot of our appointments fall through but we have an investigator on date for May 13! He is 13 and his parents go to church too but they can´t get baptized yet because they aren´t married legally.
Also on Sunday
we went out with some members and they took us to meet a family. The
husband is an inactive member and his wife is not a member. They loved
our visit and they said they want to receive our messages and he wants
to start going to church again! It was way cool! Also a ton of their
family lives around them too so we hope to teach them too! At the
end of the lesson Elder Montero was talking about soccer with him and he
went into his room and came out with 2 soccer jerseys for us! What a
guy! But I´m pretty hyped to help this family out.
This
week I was studying in Mosiah 18 and verse 9 always hits me hard. It
says ´´Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and
comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses
of God at ALL times and in ALL things, and in ALL places...´´ As a
missionary I have a plaque that says I am a representative of Christ but
also as members, when we were baptized, we promised to take His name
upon us. To become more like Christ through these things, and also the
characteristics of charity in Moroni 7:45, should be one of our greatest focuses in life! We were sent here to progress!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
