Happy transfers!... For the rest of the zone that is, out of
the entire zone, we´re the only companionship that isn´t changing. So ya.
Honestly, i´m pretty psyched still for this transfer, because Elder Tito is a
great companion, and we´ve done some good work here already. We´ve helped to
raise the church attendance in the ward, and we´ve built up more confidence
with the members here. We´ve had some fun times too, like when one of the
crazy´s in the street ran up to us, started to shake our hands, danced around a
little bit, and then poked my comp in the forehead and said "Sos un hijo
del infierno" (You´re a child of hell) Hahaha! Then he snatched my hand,
hit it a few times with his fingers, and said "what do you think to do
here?" and then ran away after that. So ya.
All in all a good week. We´ve been working with several
people this week.. We had some investigators in the church this week, but the
only problem is that they can´t progress for now because they´re not married
(That´s pretty flippin common here...) But ya, we´re going to continue helping
them for now until they make that decision to keep the commandments more fully
in their lives (Davíd, Javani, and mariana(Their spouses are members btw) if
you could throw in a prayer or two for them, that´d be just dandy). Along
with them, we´ve found several new people this week. the most likely to
progress are Marisol and Rosa, so ya, a prayer for them would be appreciated
also.
This week, I read a scripture that made me think a bit. It´s
Helamán 5:41. There´s a bit of background, but i´d just like to focus in on the
part where it says to cry out until we have sufficient faith.
This is a great principle, because it highlights the importance of diligence.
Maybe just diligence in the little things, like reading scriptures and praying
for just a little bit every day. The point is that we need to continue doing
the right things and keeping the commandments until our faith is increased, and
until the Lord can work great miracles in our lives.
Well, just to close, i´d like to share how grateful i am for
my mission. It hasn´t been easy (In fact, it´s probably been the hardest thing
that i´ve ever done...) But it´s been so worth it, because the Lord has blessed
me and opened my eyes in countless ways. I know that this is the path of the
Lord and that this Gospel is of him. Let us all press on with diligence.
