I seriously can think of anything specific from this week. It went by so fast. Think think think......
Hm... Oh! I will tell you about one of our investigators. She is great. She was taking classes from the Jehovah's witnesses when she was found. She didn't understand pretty much anything. But, she kept going. She keeps trying. At first, she couldn't remember anything. Now, she remembers almost every single thing we have taught her. She loves the church. She goes to all the activities and goes every Sunday to church. She prayed to see if Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and if the church is true. She had an overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness and she knows its true. Her baptism is the last Saturday of this transfer. Oh, and she stopped drinking coffee. Shes so prepared and wonderful.
Lets see, we had interviews with President Jordan! Most people don't like interviews with the president, its my favorite. I love it. While we were waiting for our interviews, hermanan J. was chewing out all the Latins for not practicing their English everyday. My poor companion was so stressed out. But hey, its part of their mission. Its almost a commandment ;) Haha. But the interview went well. I love talking to the President. He always has such great guidance and help. He always knows what to say.
My companion had the flu Saturday, that was exciting. We were stuck in the house again. But, we went to the doctor and he gave her drugs and shes better. Random fact, here in Mexico if you're sick with pretty much anything, they give you shot. FOR EVERYTHING. you have a cold? SHOT! If you have diarrhea? SHOT! If you have a broken nail? They probably would give you a shot. Haha Luckily I have always been able to escape them, except you know when I had the blood test and passed out.. But other than that, no needles for me!
Anyways, the mission is great. God loves all of you. I wish I could express just how much, but it isn't possible. I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve my fellow men and to help them come unto Christ. Its such a blessing. This is the true church. The Book of Mormon can change lives, and it does everyday. Something I would change if I could? Help the members understand that they are a lot bigger part in the missionary work than they think. I really really just want to shake people and say, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE NEED FRIENDS THAT LIVE HERE? PEOPLE! THEY NEED TO BE LOVED. THEY NEED YOUR TESTIMONY! THIS IS THE LORDS WORK AND YOU WERE BAPTIZED AND AGREED TO TAKE HIS NAME UPON YOU. HELP THE MISSIONARIES!!! YOU HAVE TIME TO SIT AND WATCH THE TV OR WHATEVER, YOU HAVE TIME TO GO WITH THEM TO 1 LESSON. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY? STUDY PREACH MY GOSPEL LIKE AN APOSTLE OF GOD TOLD YOU TOO! " Ok, I will end my rant there for now.... Its just frustrating... But, life is great and the work is moving along.
