| Eating Panchos (Hot Dogs) with Elder A |
Hola Familia!
So I loved all of
the pictures of Tage and the Wedding! I'm glad that Tage is doing well! 7 weeks
early is way early to be born but keep me updated! I am really happy for Dawn,
we have had some big additions to the family and we will have more here in a few
weeks. Maybe all of the excitement will blow over by December for me to get
home and be the star??? hahah jokes jokes! I'm really happy for all of you and
excited to meet my new cousins/uncle/aunts&uncles/grandma!!
This week went by
really fast. We are trying to work hard and visit more people each week. This
week Pres Zanni told us that we no longer will be counting contacts that we do
in the street or at houses. He wants us teaching and doesn't want us losing time
just knocking doors to knock doors. He is really set on teaching a lot to be
able to baptize a lot. I really like him a lot, he has made me really want to
be more converted myself to be able to help others. I have been thinking about
my own conversion a lot this week because they say that a missionary can only
convert someone to his own conversion level.
Last pday we
played soccer with these kids that just showed up to play soccer at the church
since we are allowed to do that now. It was really fun but being the really
foot-eye coordinated person like I am ;) i took a fall and kinda cut my hand. It
hurt for a few days but now its all the way better. But we had a lot of fun
playing against other people for once. We won :)
On Wednesday (I
think) we went to this lady named S who I had contacted with Elder
P but we never thought too much of her. She was the 5th on our list and
it was pouring rain. My companion asked me "what do we usually do when it
rains like this?" i said "be diligent and just keep working and get
soaking wet, or go home. I have done both in the past" we decided to be
diligent and it is good we did! We found the G family (S, A,
N, M, S, and J) they are great, we are going to keep working
with them. 3 don't live in our area but we gave them a baptismal date for the
23rd of August before sending the referral to the other missionaries :)
We have been
working a lot with 2 families. The G family and the P family. Both
awesome families! They are both incomplete families meaning they have non
members in the family. But they are awesome, the G family is paying off
a debt to be able to get married and C would be able to get baptized. She
is not a member but has been "ACTIVE" for three years haha.
Well I'm sorry I don't have a ton to say this week, I'm really happy and Elder A and I get
along really well! i need to get better at speaking to him in Spanish so that
he can practice more but we are gearing up for a big week! I really have been
trying to shift up a gear and work hard! I love you all and I invite each of
you to do the same, gear up in each part of your life and ACTIVELY EARN your
salvation. We do this by Reading, Praying, Magnifying our callings, Going to
Church, Doing visits, and going to the temple weekly. I like what Captain
Moroni says in Alma 60:21
" 21 Or do ye suppose that the
Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not
make use of the means which the Lord has provided for us?"
I love you
all!!
