Fam Damily!
Whats new in the hood? Things are looking pretty good here in El Golf. Turns our i will be livin here another change but on the brightside i´ve got a new comp! An ex zoneleader at that! Woohoo! Were gonna turn this place inside out! No but the hope is that were gonna be able to work a lot harder than we had last change becuase we had a lot of sad weeks with really horrible numbers. Not that numbers are everything, they´re not, but there is something to be said about 10-15 lessions a week versus 6... i dunno. From what i hear my last area is suffering pretty bad too though so i´ve come to the conclusion that while i wish i could blame it on this sector, i can´t. I need to step up the line with all the charismo and smile that i have and just work and hope for the best. All i can do is offer what i have and let the Lord do the rest.
President shared with us today in our changes conference a cool way to look at the miracle of the fishes and the loaves of bread. Maybe this is how everybody looks at it and i´m just slow to catch the train but he had us look from the perspective of the boy who brought the bread and fish to the Savior. There was 5000 people there when the small boy broughta small meager amount of fish and bread, he brought all that he had which obviously wasn´t enough to even feed the Savior and his disciples but he offered it anyways to Him and we all know what happened. The Saviour took the meager offer that he made and gave him back baskets full of bread and fish on top of the 5000 whom he fed. It gives me a lot of hope to be able to look at this story and realize that i can´t give a lot. There is not a lot that i can actually give, really the only thing that we have in this life that we can give is our will, and even that isn´t really ours but it is the only true thing that the Lord can never take away from us. And for that it is the only thing that we can truly give him. But i´ve made the decision that i don´t want to live ¨my life¨ i want to go where he wants me to go and do what he wants me to do so that is my goal for this change. To honestly forget my will and be enveloped in the work.
Well i suppose i could tell you all a little bit about my new comp, i just got him, his name is elder Jennings, he´s from utah, he´s short and he´s funny. Thats all i realy know right now! I just met him recently, meaning 2 hours ago. So yeah other than that life is good. I´m really looking forward to being able to talk to some of ya hopefully. I don´t know how that is all going to shake down, i´ll have to talk to my comp about that and let ya´ll know next week k? Cool beans.
A little about the work this past week. We found 2 new investigators! Woohoo! They are both females, one is around 20 and the other is around 40 and she has 3 kids! I´m super excited about her cuz she has a cousin that she hasn´t talked to in a while but is a member so were gonna help her get in contact with him, his son just got back from a mission so that is way aweseom! The only problem is that they live in florida so i don´t think that is gonna help much but she is just super ready to accept the Gospel so im excited for her! Melina, the girl who is about 20, contacted us, she´s pretty cool too the only prob is that she wants us to come teach her with her dad who is an ex professor at notre dame so that could be a bit of a problem.. not too much for the Spirit to handle though so i am not worried! That wraps up the work for the past week. We did a bunch of service and singing and stuff so that was cool but those are the only two people we found melina and loreta.
Not much else is goin down here. I do pray for each of you individually to have missionary experiences and i hope you´re having them! its super easy! Just bear your testimony of Jesus Christ and tell them they can have a better relationship with God through sincere prayer. They can also come to know that God loves them and has shown his love by calling a prophet in OUR times to guide us and help us in this difficult world. They can know all of this through prayer and tell them to do it!
Well i´m about outta time but i jsut wanted to say i love you all and hope that you are doing well! Your names are on the prayerlist of the temple here in Santiago!!!
Love
