HOLA!
What
a week!
This
week has been such a week of stress... but SO much growth... what are
missionaries without a little stress, keeps it real eh?
But
life is great. I now know what way is north and south and can get back to the
pension with no problems... so that`s some serious progress! I really do love
San Juan, the people here are so happy and for the most part really open!
I
continue to absolutely LOVE the ward here. Pretty much every single day this
week we had a member come with us! Makes such a difference. We have two
investigators with a baptismal date (Miriam and Valeria) and are progressing
well! It`s so exciting to see them progressing along and learning to love the
scriptures.
This
week we also extended the baptismal invitation to Maria (a cute little elderly
woman) and her grandkids. We started the lesson just her and us and when we
opened our eyes after the opening prayer... her three grandkids were there and
wanted to listen. So precious. They are adorable. Hopefully we can get their
parents on board too! But I love seeing how kids are the key!
This
week we had Zone conference.... I LOVE Zone Conference. President Goates is so
amazing and always says exactly what we need to hear. He talked a lot about
humility and obedience and how the combination of the two increases our faith.
He used an example that I LOVE.
He
explained that this is not OUR work, but the work of the Lord. He shared a
little Isiah... "Shall the ax boast itself against him that
heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As
if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff
should lift up itself as if it were no wood!" (2 Nephi 20:15)
Whenever
we admire a beautiful newly built home, we generally think "wow... that
builder, architect did such a nice job. We don`t think about the ax or the saw
that were used to build the home, we compliment the architect. In reality we as
missionaries/members are just tools... (haha) a rusty ax... a dull saw... but
HE uses US as imperfect as we are to perform mighty miracles. The glory is
never ours, but His. He is the grand Architect who has a plan and is patient
with us as we help him build Mansions and bring souls unto him :) What a
blessing we have to be a part of this mighty work!
