Hey
everyone,
Well
it's been another good week here in the good ole mish. Welllll mas o
menos. haha
Kinda
a tough one. Not as good as the last week. Last week we had a great week in the
work but this week the challenges have been big. More than anything it's
just been a little discouraging in finding people who want change. or
finding people in general. To be honest this week has been one of the
slowest weeks in the mission. We found 1 new inv. Probably the low of the
mission. But we kept working. We worked hard this week, knocked on a lot of
doors, but nothing. I think it was just time to have a really tough week and
learn to trust more in the Lord and in His time. This Sunday we had a long day
of contacting and at 8:50 we had a little #FourthFloorLastDoor experience like
Pres Uchtdorf talked about last year in his conference address. We found a young man
at night and really that was amazing. It had been a tough week but then I
realized that we needed to have some challenges. Nothing is easy in the mission
or in Life. But something that has really helped me is a quote that Elder
Holland gave in a talk like 17 years ago. He said basically that some
blessings come quick, some blessings take more time, and some blessings don't
come until heaven, but for faithful and diligent members of the church,
blessings always come. (An High Priest of Good Things to Come- 1999 Oct Elder
Holland) Look it up!
But
ya, that was our week. Despite the challenges, I'm still loving the mission and
I'm loving this time of year! My trainee is learning a lot and progressing a
little more everyday. Kind a sucks that it hit us to have a tough sector for the
beginning of his mission, but then I remember back to my training which was
also tough. It will make him better later on. I know there are people waiting
for this message though. I know that the Lord will have His hand in this work!
But
ya, today for pday we got permission from president murphy to watch a Disney movie
for Christmas soo we watched Moana as a zone. It was pretty good!
Probably will be better in English. but ya also I
found a store that has American things, but super overpriced. Soo I
bought a highly overpriced Dr. Pepper, but it was super worth it ;) haha..
welp that's it, life is good, have a good week #IluminaelMundo
