October 13, 2015
then, I've really just been able to see the work progress and I feel
bad that it didn't happen before, but I'm still learning and I'm not
perfect. Now we are so busy I don't have time to think about anything
but the work. I don't even really think about myself and how I'm
doing, which is honestly what we are supposed to do. So now I'm more
happy.
The member presents have been a
blessing, mostly because it's helping the work to progress. My week
was good and we had another good one! we are really working hard and
we are seeing the fruits of our labors por fin! Another week has
passed and members are still going out with us! We added 11 people
that are all pretty solid, that all seemed to be interested. This
could not have been done if we didn't put our faith forward and also
help the members to put theirs forward, nothing would have happened.
This week we have another week set up with 9 appointments with members
coming with us. We hope that everything will go well. We set 3
baptismal dates this week, two were with the couple who the husband
completely shot us down. We had an awesome lesson with a member and
they agreed to be baptized. So we are praying that it will really
happen and that Satan won't be able to work his way into that one. We
had 3 members testify at sacrament meeting about how going with us is
a blessing and also telling the members that they need to start coming
out with the missionaries. We have been go go go and it has been
working. We just never stop. We never stop until a member agrees to go
out with us, we never stop street contacting, we just keep going. And
it had been working! My faith has grown a lot these past few weeks as
I have learned to just let the Lord use me as an instrument instead of
being worried about doing it on my own! I am excited about what this
week is going to bring and I am so excited for this area and I am so
happy that i got to stay here another transfer. This area was really
hard and I am just so so so so happy to see the members getting
involved. It was only through them that we could've found all those
people. As well as we reached all our goals except for those at church
and being baptized. That's another thing we need to work on, but now I
have faith that it will get there, whether I'm here or whether I'm in
another area and I never find out what happened to Ramona, it will get
there.
Well, I don't really have much else to write about...I'm doing really
good and my companion and I get along very well. We have been having a
lot of fun as well as working hard.
Our mission president is having us read the Book of Mormon before
Christmas as of last pday. My faith has been increasing a lot through
my study of the Book of Mormon. I think it has given me the faith to
keep going and to keep trying. It has given me the faith to not care
what others will think of me or if someone will reject us. That
happened a lot to nephi, his brothers hated him and he was rejected by
them, but he never gave up on them and kept his faith that it will all
be okay. I've really been taking that thought to my street contacting.
Just not giving up. We have also been doing that with members, trying
to get them to go out with us. We just don't give up.
It has been a really good week and sorry that I don't have more to talk about!
