Well, we got to go to the temple today! Yay! Thankfully the lice went away so in the temple we could stay. haha. But really, it was wonderful!!! There is no place like the temple. Go as often as possible. OK?!
This week we had divisions with the hermana lideres. They decided to base the divisions on getting rid of pride. I learned pride is more than just like egotism and such. Its also not accepting counsel, getting offended easily, and a few other things. But the one that hit me the most was about the offend easily thing. Yeah. Well, I am now working super hard on that. Didnt realize that was pride, but now I can see that it is. We also had some, strange/exciting lessons. One was with a less active. Her reason for not being able to go to church? Because she is too fat. Unfortunately, yes she is quite... large, but Im sure she can still go. Or work to get it off so she can go!! We also went with one of the elderly missionaries because she wanted to contact her neighbor as a referral. Well... This lady was... I dont know how to say it, but we will go with very closed hearted. She got quite contentious and tried telling us all the things that are wrong and what did so and so do in the bible and lots of other things. It wasnt the best lesson, but after, the sister was like, "Im so sorry. I had no idea." We were worried for her, but she was worried for us. The best thing was, she didn't give up she said, "its not her time, but maybe my other neighbor!! "It was so special to see she didn't give up after her first rejection. We aslo met a man in the street. He wanted to tell us why our religion is wrong/bad. His biggest focus was is because we go to church in nice clothes. Well, by the time we ended talking to him, he cried (spiritual tears, not sad) and said that he would read the book of mormon. It was really cool. That happened a lot this week, having to REALLY stand up for what we believe. Like when the Jehovahs witness contacted us and we stood up for whats right and didnt let his accusations and rude comments get us down. I have never been so sure of the gospel in my life. Its really quite special.
Well, looks like time is up, I really should write this first, but I never learn. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!! Enjoy every moment,
LOVES!
