Just Came In From A Rainstorm
Hi Party People!
This week we
finally had a semi normal week and got to work a lot in our area! We are
working with the family members, nieces, nephews, aunts or strange neighbors of
the members here because they aren’t super good at integrating anyone else. It
was a great week of work but sad when Sunday morning comes and no one comes to
church... it teaches you a lot about how your time really isn’t the Lords time,
how you can do everything in your power but in the end have to be humble and
realize that you’re just a small part of those peoples journey to come to know
the truth. And maybe you won’t see the results immediately but one day those
people will receive the ultimate gift of eternal life!
Our bishop
here was released and a new one called. We went from short and serious Bishop Junior
to big chubby and loud and joking Irmao Wilhames. It’s funny that the whole
ward needs to trust in the callings of the lord, no matter who the person is or
what they have done in the past- trusting enough in your testimony of the
church that He wouldn’t call the wrong person.
It’s fun that on a
mission you really learn how to adapt- I learned a few fun things this week. Like
sometimes your kitchen sink backs up and smells like baby barf and you have to
clean out the food chunks while your companion stands in the corner dry
heaving. Or sometimes a few chickens will run through the living room during a
lesson and the baby on the floor will scare one of them and it’ll poop on the
floor and scurry out and you just gotta keep it all together for the sake of
the lesson. Or sometimes you’ll share your beef jerky your nice mom sent from
the states for your bday with your companion and she´ll spit it on the floor
because she’s never tasted something like that hahahah. This week was a lot of
good life experiences. You learn that you can’t control everything in life, and
you just gotta make the best of every situation and go with the flow. I love my
mission! And I love you guys! Don’t forget to pray for someone that you can
share the gospel with this week! The lord is counting on you!
