Hey family and friends!
How are you guys! First I would like to thank you all for
the support and for the prayers that I recieved and that I am doing a lot
better. My stomach is getting better and supposedly I need to continue taking
the medicine for 1 more week and then I will be able to go back to the hospital
and do other exams to see if I still have the bacterial infection or if it has
left! That's great news for me!
But this week also was one of the best weeks in the
mission...
1) We put 2 new baptismal dates with some people that are
natives, (and I say native because they still wear the corte that the old
guatemaltecos wore and they speak another language)
2) We completed the goal of the mission this week to contact
105 different people and different contacts, have 15 new investigators and to
have 2 new baptismal dates! and to complete the goal of the month is that we
need to do that every week and also have 2 baptism this month and we have 3
fechas for this month!
3) We are going to have a secure baptism this week! He told
us to announce it in church and that he will be baptised at 7:30 p.m. I'm so
glad that he will be baptized! and the best is that he has his vision in the
temple!
4) We were talking to a member who has had some problems
because her mom was in the hospital and they had to cut off her leg, but her
mom isn't a member and when she was in the hospital, the doctors asked her what
religion she pertains to and she told them The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints! So when she returned to the house to recover from her wound, we had
the chance as missionaries and the ward council, to go over to her house and to
sing hymns and to share a message with her and she says that when he is better
the first thing she is going to do is get baptized. It's was cool and weird
because we had 10 members in her house and the bishop talked to her first and
told her that she needs to be baptized and she said yes so we will be having a
baptism in April or May!!!
Also, we had the opportunity to have divisions with the
assistants! and those divisions were... really tiring... haha, we practically
walked for a complete 6 hours... haha and we contacted a lot of people and all
of the visits that we had fell.... haha even the assistants have bad days!;)
but it was fun! I got to know Elder Savage a lot more and even though we didn't
have a lot of success we were happy the whole day!
Well, that was my week, and I would like to end with a
scripture thats in philippians 4:11-13
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,
in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound:
every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me.
With all of the temptations, challenges, struggles, we need
to learn to be content in all that we suffer, in all that we have, and in all
that we recieve. and when we are "full" of blessings or when we are
completly happy we need to show our gratitude, because if we don't we won't receive
more or we won't recieve his help to help us overcome our struggles. I testify
that Jesus Christ lives, I know that he is our Savior. I know that only through
him we can be clean, pure and whole. I know that President Monson is a prophet
of god! He recieves revelation and he is an instument in the hand of the Lord
in every second to do what the Lord would do if he were here.
I love you guys!
Elder Flygare
