Wow so it was a crazy week. So my comp
actually didn´t have dengue which was good, he just had a really bad
virus but by Wednesday we were working strong. We had a wedding...my
first on the mission! A baptism the next day and then sunday....we went
looking for people to go to church. The first 5 people that we stopped
by didn´t want to go or weren´t home. So we were starting to get a
little down and then at the last moment things started to work out. We
ended up having 16 people in church! I´ve never had more than 5 so that
was a huge blessing. We are excited about what could happen this next 2
weeks. We are going to try and do some big stuff here. But we will
see what God has in store for us. But its cool to see the results come
from the work. We just have to keep going strong and finding the people
that want something. Then it will be easy.
Man that is crazy that everyone is getting married here in the
ward. Well I guess that is a good thing. Means that the Prophets
advice is being used. Haha. Also makes me feel old. But oh well.
The
mission been a crazy experience for me. Actually it doesn´t feel like
it will end in 2 weeks. Because nothing changes here. Its the same
work everyday. But i´ve changed I know that...that has also made the
end of the mission scary. Will it be the same back home....will people
accept me how I am now? But its also a good thing. I have grown a lot
in my testimony about the gospel. Also i´ve seen where i´m weak in the
gospel. All of these things have been brought into a bigger light. I
see why we need the gospel here on the earth. The gospel doesn´t need
us...we need it to return to the presence of God. It is the only way.
We can´t do it alone or without the saving ordenances that are so
needed for our progression here on the earth. Testifying about the
truth of the Book of Mormon has come to show me how true it is. Really
all we do it enter and tell people that hey we have this awesome test
you can do. Read a part in this book, think about it, and then ask God
if it´s true! Its so simple and its sad when people wont even do that.
The simple things confound the learned or prideful. I know that its
true because everytime one of our investigators askes God if the Book of
Mormon is true I feel it in my heart as well that it is true. Its an
undeniable peace and warmth. Its all true....the people just aren´t.
And if we can overlook that part we have a chance a big chance to
getting what we all want...to live with God again! I know the church is
true and that it helps us. That God has a plan for us all and that all
we have to do is trust in that plan. We are here to have joy! The
gospel is joy. In the name of Jesus Christ amen
