Hola mi familia y
amigitos!
Well like I said
above, I will be staying here in Rama Universidad with Elder A for at
least 6 more weeks. I only have 3 transfers left so I will likely be transferred
after this one to spend 2 in my last area. Elder T my MTC comp will now be
in the same branch as me and will be my District Leader. Kinda funny, i have
not really seen him much since North Carolina.
This week has been
full of finding people, dropped appointments, people not wanting to listen
more. Kinda crazy but I will give an update on each:
M &
N: They are doing well, they love us but they are struggling to come to
our church because they are active in their own church. We had a very intense
lesson with them on Saturday but who knows. They also told us last night they
wont be able to meet with us this whole week....
N & M:
They didn't come to church this week... they have to come 4 times in a row for
N to be able to baptize his wife... We will continue to work with them for
sure.
P: Is a lady
that I had met when I was still with Elder P. We were able to find her
and teach her the lesson on the Restoration. She loved it, we are going to try
to go back tonight. We both left the lesson just pumped! we are teaching with
more unity as time goes on and as my comp is learning Spanish.
G: She is
a member of the baptist church. But she received us and we were able to teach
her this week. She enjoyed the lesson and I think we are gonna go back
tomorrow.
So big
announcement....... I think I might like running now.... [gasp] I know how
crazy this sounds but I think I would like to start running a lot more after
the mission and try to run more 5 and 10ks. I would really like to get to the
point of running a 5k in under 20 min. Another random thing, i found a pair of
shoes this week (dress shoes) now i will EASILY make it to the end of my
mission with my shoes. My Eccos will be in great shape still to use at home in
fact.
This week I was
reading in 3 Nephi 19 and I love the example that the Lord is in this chapter
in prayer. He prays with such humility and is always focused on others in his
prayer. I also like how he prays out loud and always kneels. That is something
we could ALL work on. I like praying out loud a lot. I invite you all to have a
Joseph Smith moment this week. Find a quiet place, be alone, kneel, and pray
out loud. i would love to hear your experiences for next week! I have found a
love for prayer that is for sure!
Well I feel like
this wasn't the most eventful week but I am happy and ready to work hard this
transfer. Elder Arnold and I get along great and we are having fun! I love you
all, have a great week!
