There goes another week in the mission, and I have to say
it's pretty great! Especially conference this week!!!!! It was
super awesome, and I learned a lot of things! We met in the stake center,
and there was a gringo room!!!! yep, gotta watch conference in English.
It was great! There were a lot of great talks but some of the
highlights were Elder Bednars talk in priesthood session and Elder Hales talk
about being a disciple of Jesus Christ.. that one hit me hard, here in my
mission, the mission scripture is 3 Nephi 5:13 which says " Behold I
am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of Him to
declare His word among His people, that they might have everlasting life."
That really hit home to me, because every meeting we have, we talk about
being disciples of Jesus Christ. This scripture has become one of my
favorites, and that talk really hit home!
But ya other than conference, it's been a good week!
We've been working hard, and I'm still adjusting to this new assignment..
and the sector!! Wow, this sector is interesting... the
flippin hills haha.. lets hope I get in really good shape.. and the
cooking, still adjusting to that, basically it kind of sucks, but as my new
adopted Spanish catch phrase says, a veces toca (sometimes it touches... haha)
But ya this week, we passed by this new investigator who is
super cool... well she's not new, I'm new, soo I'm saying she's new.. but ya, she's
really cool! She has been listening to the missionaries for a while now,
and she has accepted baptismal dates but they have fallen.. so this last
weeek she was like I want to be baptized but I don't want to know the
date.. cause I'm afraid it'll fall again.. soo we were like ummm idk
if we can do that.. so we visited her the next time and we shared some
great scriptures in 2 Nephi 32, and she was super receptive as usual, and we
said we want to put a new date.. so we talked about the 15th of April.
she said that that day is vacation here, but she thought about it and
decided she would rather be baptized then go on vacation so she accepted!!
super awesome! Really cool experience, and I'm glad to have a pilas
investigator!!! That's about it really.
Just want to end by extending the same invitation that
President Monson did, to read the Book of Mormon everyday!! I know that
it was more powerful coming from the prophet, but really it's something super
important!! Listen to his words, it was an inspired invitation to all of
us.. the blessings will come and we will have that constant companion of the
Holy Ghost if we do it!
Welp, hope all of guys have a good week!
