So this week it rained every single day! I didn't think that the solar water for the shower would stop working when it was cold... I have had cold showers this whole week. I'm starting to understand what they said when the mission turns you into a man. By Thursday I didn't even scream when I got into the shower. And there was a spider on the ceiling and I killed it with my bare hands... kind of. But when it rains we get to take the bus because we are not aloud to go swimming on the mission.
This
week I had one thing i felt like I needed to work more on and it was
getting investigators to understand why its important to go to church. So I prayed for that, the next day we had a whole zone conference where
the mission Pres came and told the best way to get investigators to
church! Like what!! So this week we had 5 investigators at church!!
That's the first time, in like a month, in this area!! I was so pumped! I'll tell you what, if you have faith then anything is possible! Faith is
the most important thing to have and that's why it's the first principle
of the Gospel! The Lord wants to bless us but first we have to show him
we are willing to do the work. Faith is a principle of action. If you
work hard and show the Lord you are trying your best and proving you
have faith in him he will bless every aspect of your life!!!
Sorry don't have too much time this week for a real long one but I thought I'd
let everyone know that the cholos here all know me by guero. We are
friends and they always ask for pass along cards and we think they just
use them to smoke, so we don't give them. haha All the people get real
drunk and high here and stop us and try to talk to us and it's so funny. So we try to talk to them but they can't. My comp tells me they are my
best friends.
I forgot to take pics this week but next week :)
Something I heard this week was try to have a prayer for everything you are
grateful for and that when you focus on the good and none of the bad you
realize all you have and it makes it a lot easier to be happy!!! The
Lord always blesses us in so many ways but sometimes we don't realize
what he does for us!
Yesterday I got my
first kiss in 3 monthsss.... haha jk! But really it's a custom here for
the women to give everyone they know a kiss on the cheek and yesterday
we were in a family home evening and a lady walked in and shook the
other missionary's hands and when she shook mine she bent over and gave
me a kiss and I was like uhhhh... did I just sin? Everybody was
laughing so hard but I know that they are just jelly.
Until next week my dear family!
