First of all, you should all know
that I say buenas at least 100 times a day, buenas dias, buenas tardes,
buenas noches...It´s all buenas here. haha
Is
it just me or did this week fly by? It seemed so fast to me. Like I
explained last week, we´re kinda on an uphill climb. We basically have
well...0... progressing investigators :( It´s difficult because we have a
great lesson with someone, they accept a baptism date, and then....
We never see them again. -_-
But!!
We´re expanding our horizons and really trying to motivate the members
to take part in the Work of Salvation. It´s really not about the
Missionary Work or Reactivation or Retention or Family History work,
it´s all the work of Salvation and as members we all have our role in
this work. So we´ve been trying to have Noches De Hogar with families
and have them invite people to their homes and we share a message and
it´s a great little evening. Also, we´re working in areas of our area
that the old elders didn´t really touch so we´re hoping for great
things!!!! Also we´re working with a lot of menos activos right now. And
we had several come to church this week!!!
It´s
really beautiful here. And hot!!! (But from what I´ve heard it´s not
even hot yet so....yeah....) It´s really funny because it´s "winter"
and at night and in the evenings it cools off and everyone freezes.
Except for us. Haha we love it.
I
have a really nice shoe tanline on my feet already. It´s attractive.
haha And blisters. haha We knew that was coming. It´s weird because my
only blisters are on the bottom of my feet almost between my big toes...
I have weird feet.
Also, random story, the other day I was walking along and noticed I had something stuck in my skirt.
Yep. Giant Bug.
IN MY SKIRT:
No, I did not freak out. I calmly threw it on the street and smashed it until dead.
Also,
can we talk about how much I love Sundays? They´re seriously the best
days of the week. All of Mexico is a little bit of a culture shock (hah
little bit..) but the Church is always the same and always builds me up
for the coming week. I love it. Also I got to go to a baptism this
week!! Not ours but my comp is awesome and plays the violin so we were
part of the special musical number. :)
Also,
I´m reading Jesus the Christ right now (you know, just a little light
reading...) and something I read this week was that Jesus chose to do
all that He did, but He also completely submitted to the will of the
Father. What I realized is that His will was so in line with the
Father´s that He wanted to do the Father´s will because it was also His
will. I am now trying to align my will more with my Heavenly Father´s, I
don´t want to be obedient just because I´m submitting I want to WANT
His will.
Does that make any sense??
Anyway, I love you all so much and I love Mexico!! Have a great week!!
¡Vale la pena!
