Hey family,
So this week is a great opportunity for us as missionaries
to go and see an Apostle! We will be hearing from Neil L. Anderson and we will
be going to the capital of Guatemala for this conference! I cant wait to hear
the words and the inspiration from Elder Anderson. Also, this past week we
fasted so we could hear something that would really apply to us in each of our
areas. I'm ready for this opportunity to use these words to better myself and
the work.
So this past week, was tough but instead of being sad for
not having a ton of success or questioning why stuff didn't happen the way we
wanted to I am happy for the blessings we did receive. I am grateful for
another day I have to work harder, another day to be able to say that I tried
my best and leave the rest to the lord. I am greatful for this opportunity to
serve in Guatemala and to serve with my companion. I have learned a lot from
him and will continue to learn and to apply this doctrine not only to the lives
of others but my life too. This week we were also blessed with two people that
want to come to the waters of baptism in April! These people have such a great
desire to know what is right and to follow the example of Jesus Christ. They
are always so receptive and want to learn more and love to ask questions. Too
bad I think I will have changes in two weeks and not be able to see these
people make this important step in their lives.
Also a cool thing that I got to try this week was a fruit
that that is only grown in Guatemala and only grown outside the capital where
it is hot. The people call the fruit, chicos or nisperos. They are weird but
good. Also, about ten minutes before sacrament meeting started, me and my companion
were asked to give talks! yay! Such great news to hear that you have to prepare
a talk in about 30 min and it has to be about 7 min long. haha! Well to be
honest I didnt think I could do it, but one thing that has really impacted me
and helped me is being more humble and willing to ask for his help. He can help
all of us and wants to help us. All we need to do is act and then try our best
and he will make up the rest. So, after I said a little prayer in my heart. I
went on looking for scriptures to help me with my theme of the talk which was,
"What blessings can we recieve from reading the scriptures". so
within about 5 min. I had written a little outline of the scriptures I was
going to use and also the points I would like to make clear in my talk. So once
I got up there to talk, I wasn't nervous or anything and I talked for like 9 or
10 min! And the best part was I did it all in Spanish;) haha without a problem!
Well thank you guys for everything. Thanks for the package
and I hope that dad had a great birthday! I love you guys so much!
