Hola familia!
We had a good week
this week! We are still working hard to find new people to teach and stuff,
that is kinda hard but we have met some good people this week! We have a lot of
callbacks which are people that we contacted and we felt like if we go back
they may be interested so we are gonna visit a lot of callbacks this week!
This week we did
an exchange with the assistants! It was really fun, I got to go work in their
area with Elder H. He has only been AP for a month now and we had a lot
of good talks! I remember the first day he got to the mission, I had already
been here for 3 months and he had a slightly hard companion so he had a ton of
questions for me because we were in the same zone. That made us become friends
and we get a long really well. Elder E. came back to visit Azcuenaga with
Elder C. While I was with Elder H, we found a guy named G.
and he is a stud! It was raining kinda hard and we were knocking doors, he let
us in and we taught him a lesson. I have not heard if they went back yet or not
but I will find out this week how G. is doing!
Something to send
me: i want a Spanish book, a book that is really hard so that I can study Spanish. I have found that the books they gave me on the mission don't really
help me and I want to be able to keep studying. Maybe you could talk to Zach
about this because he would know what would be challenging and not. Thanks :)
This week in our
FHE, we watched a video called The Bridge. I would recommend it completely! It
talks about a man who works as the operator of a bridge where a train crosses.
I wont ruin it but it is incredible. It had a very big impact on me and how I
look at the Atonement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPysEqJlXrs
This week we also
had our interviews with president Giuliani. We were able to talk a lot about the
zone and a lot about me as well. He is such a great example to me, he shared
the last few verses of the Book of Mormon with me and talked a lot about the
Savior. My relationship and understanding of the Savior has grown so much in my
mission. That alone helps us to be able to overcome temptation and always do
our best. A scripture that I have been thinking about a lot lately is D&C
107:99-100
99 Wherefore, now let every man learn his duty, and to act in the
office in which he is appointed, in all diligence.
100 He that is slothful shall not be counted worthy to stand, and he
that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved shall not be counted
worthy to stand. Even so. Amen.
This is something
huge, when we understand our callings and assignments we can fully be obedient
and diligent in the Lord´s work. He is waiting to bless us and help us but he
literally cant if we don't do what we are supposed to do. I challenge each of
you to look for the things that the Savior is waiting for from you and how you
can "act in all diligence". I love you guys and I hope you have
another great week, it sounds like everyone is busy which makes me happy!! Be
happy and smile! :)
