This week has been slow.
Not much happened, and as the title states, my comp got sick AGAIN! I think it's his noobie defenses that are
still weak or something haha.
Tuesday I gave my first distri-zone meeting, and it went
alright. It's a lot more active
obviously because we're 8 now instead of 4.
So we didn't end up casting out devils Tuesday because we got there, and
Nu had left at like 3 (we went at 5 o'clock) so we continued on our way. Some sad news is that Gui, our investigator
with cancer isn't doing so well, and they've decided to stop trying. He's currently quarantined in his house, and
no one can visit. Waiting for him to
pass away. I wish we had time to help
him get baptized, but i'm sure he'll accept it in the spirit world. He was a great investigator.
Wednesday my comp started getting sick with bad joint pains
which made us think that maybe he got a typical mosquito transmitted disease
called Chikungunya. So we took it pretty
slow that day.
Thursday was MOM'S BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY! I spent it
resting all day because Elder Ramirez got worse. But i took advantage of the down time to
clean the house pretty good. That night i gave a baptismal interview for
the zone leaders of a guy named Ar. I've
gotten to teach him a few times and he's gonna be a GREAT leader in the
church. An excellent guy.
Friday was better because my comp felt better and we started
to work! We had a few appointments ,
mostly with less actives and recent converts.
Nothing too exciting.
Saturday we were pretty busy because all day we were
confirming church attendance. We
actually had a pretty good lesson with Nu about the restoration and receiving
spiritual answers. She's been a bit
rough because when her mom died, it destroyed her. We've tried teaching her that she'll be able
to see her again, but her frustration with God makes it hard for her to
accept. But we were talking with her and
she said the other night her friend was counseling her, and invited her to her Christian
church. But Nu replied, "i'm
attending the Mormon church..." and her friend started to say that we dont
believe in the bible nor in Jesus and she said she defended the church and
explained the Book of Mormon! So that
pumped us up haha. I see a lot of improvement
in her. We Explained that the Book of
Mormon is gonna be CRITICAL in her conversion and in helping her know she'll be
with her mom again.
Sunday was pretty good at church. Elis came to church, the mom of that big
family. She seems to have desire to
continue learning of the church even though her family doesn't show much
interest. That night we helped a member
pull some weeds too.
Today we relaxed, drank mate and sang karaoke with some YSA
members. It was a good time!
So lately i've been studying the Bible because i realized
that i've never really read the Bible all the way. I started from Genesis in Zarzal and right
now i'm in Deuteronomy. the Israelites
drive me NUTS! We have to be careful in
the Church that we don't end up like them.
They've learned so many things, seen miracles, been instructed, felt the
Spirit and yet they turned away from God and fell into their old Egyptian
traditions of worshiping idols etc. We
need to remember that we've seen many miracles, felt many impressions, but the
devil never sleeps. Let's follow the
prophet, and be strong! Like Joshua and
Caleb!
love you all, have an excellent week!
