Semana 15, thats crazy! jaja But I had been very blessed here! So I cannot complain at all!!!
However... lets just say 10 lessons canceled in one week... thats quite a bit!!! I guess canceled isnt the word... we get t otheir house to find that they really arent there! jaja Thats the life of a missionary though! ;) jeje We did find a few different new investigators though and so everything evened out!
So we had the great idea of doing a finding activity as a district this week! We all went up to La Florida and took an hour one morning to try and contact as many people as we could and to leave that with the new elderes who are opening the area. We came out successful as well! We were able to pass them 8 references! and a few of them that we contacted were really good! So everyone was happy with the outcome!!
I also had interchanges with an Elder who got here with Elder Holmes, his name is Elder Mickelson. He is from a SMALL town in Idaho and we had some great farm and cow talk! Its always great to get back to the good stuff in life!! jaja We had a great time and we talked with lots of great people as well! however we had 5 lessons planned and EVERY SINGLE ONE did not work out. *quack* We still had a ball though! Great Elder!!
Then sunday was kinda a miraculous day! I was playing some prelude music and all of a sudden the hermana who told us a couple weeks ago that she wanted to feel the spirit more in her life, was standing right in front of me with her mom!! I was stoked!!! They totally just made it because Rocío asked if they could go and her mom said she knew she had to go with her. It was so cool. Then when I was sitting there and we didnt have any investigators there, I thought "dang it. I could have called them so they would come..." and then Ricardo walked in and then la Familia Carrasco with Natalia´s mom! It was such an awesome surprise! I sat back and then thought "how many people here are we currently working with? members, converts, investigators and I just had this sensation come over me as I realized there was A LOT there that we hve been working with. It was a very sweet confirmation that we were in fact doing our part here. I know that we are being very blessed here and I cannot deny the many blessings that God has given us! I love this work and I know that God has chosen us to come here in this time.
I also have been studying how we can all be missionaries and I found 4 main factors:
Patience
Diligence
Hope
Faith
If you feel so inclined, study these! They seem like things that maybe we see lots but I promise that you will learn so much more as you study them thinking on your duties as a member missionary. I also invite you all to bring a book of mormon with you everywhere, and study these things as you are waiting! Do it!! I know that you will find many answers!!!
I love you all! Love the heat because there is none here! jaja! Chao!!
Elder Marvin =D
