This week was kinda slow, there were some frustrating things
that happened but it wasn't a terrible week. Earlier in the week we had some
plans to travel around the mission to look at some missionary phones but after
driving an hour we found out that they canceled the meeting and didn't tell
us... Pretty much wasted our entire afternoon.
On Tuesday we had a cool training from the mission president
about Light the World!! It's gonna be super awesome, the Church has made a lot
of amazing plans to get people excited about Christ this December. I can't
remember if I mentioned "The Christ Child" earlier but it is a 18
minute long video that comes out on the 24th. It is definitely the best video I
have ever seen!! Super good stuff. Right now you can go to lighttheworld.org and sign up for the
texts! It will send you a text every day in December of things you can do to
light the world.
We also had a super awesome lesson with Alfonso, we found
him last week and we visited him one more time this last Tuesday. He opened up
to us and told us about his family and how much he loves them. He said he had a
special connection with his Dad and how he misses him a lot so we asked him
"How would you feel if you could see your Dad again?" He said that
would be amazing and so we invited him to read the BoM to find out some
answers. We haven't been able to catch him since then but we have high
hopes.
Friday we got invited to a members house and also a recently
returned Elder was there too! We ate a ton of good stuff and it ended up being
really good. The member told us later that it really helped this RM because he
had come home early for health reasons and was having a really rough time about
it but she said it cheered him up a bit.
Saturday morning was really good we actually were able to
contact a lot of people. We met like 3 new people that hopefully we can start
teaching soon. We have recently been dropped by nearly everyone in our teaching
pool... Tom and Grace kinda "soft dropped" us for a few weeks too.
They said their schedule is just getting crazy so we aren't going to have
lessons for like 2 weeks or something...Super sad, but we are trying to keep
going with high faith.
That was pretty much it for this week, nothing too exciting
but overall not too bad. I'm still loving being a missionary and I'm glad I can
have this time to serve the Lord. I hope ya'll are well!
Los quiero!
