Hey all,
This week was a roller
coaster ride, as is the mission a lot of the time buuuuuuut.... it went really
well.
I bore my testimony
about the Lord’s time this Sunday, because again I gained a big testimony that
sometimes we pass through trials just to pass through them, and the whole time
God is there and knows how we feel.
I know this because
this week, we worked hard. It was one of the best weeks we have had here. A lot
of people had a baptism date buuuut as we heard everyone promise throughout the
week that they were going to church - no one had shown up. We got a little sad
and I was thinking, “Well, what do I need to learn from this?”, and “Why is it
such a hard thing for us?” I thought a lot of things, like, “Am I doing all
that I can, or is there something that I’m doing wrong?” But as we had church,
we found out that there was a man who showed up to the other ward and assisted
with them, but that can be our investigator! It was a great blessing to get to
know him and see his excitement. That lifted our spirits for sure and I’m sure
God was just thinking, “Just wait...” because just before we entered into the
sacrament meeting, we saw a woman and we asked her if she needed help. She said
“Yeah, I want to know the schedule of your meetings, so that I can come and
participate.” We got to know her and she lives in our area. She is willing and
excited to come to church and that was another blessing.
At this time, I just
felt overwhelmed and grateful. I felt God’s love for me, and felt that really I
needed to be grateful for all the experiences I have because God never leaves
us out to dry, if that makes sense. If we are going through a hard day, a hard
week, or maybe if we feel that we always have problems, it’s because He’s
waiting to give us something much better. He’s waiting to bless us according to
our diligence and faith.
Later that day, we met
with a family Salas, and they are all members except for the dad. They are less
actives too. We got to sit down with the dad and teach him about the
restoration. I know that the Spirit was there, and we asked him if he would be
baptized and he accepted. We´ll be working with him more this week.
We have a lot of potential
here, and I am loving the area, and being with Elder Told
Elder Wolf
These are pictures of
our zone conference and our district
I did divisions (splits) with an Elder Maldonado. He is a leader of the zona (the Zone Leader) and is from Peru. It
was fun to get to know his area.
This is a photo of me
with a tie that the Pergerson family sent me.
We had an activity the
past Monday and an elder from Bolivia made us fried chicken! It was
with the district and with the leaders of the zone.
These are other pictures
from the conference, with the sister leaders and leaders of the zone.
We helped the Trejo
family move into a new home. They are a young couple in the ward, and they both
served missions. They are so awesome and loving. Here’s a picture with them and
here’s pictures of on top of their house!
