No Stinkin'!

Hola Mi Amigos!!!

 

This week has been a great one!

It went by real fast starting with a quick Tuesday full of lessons! Something that i really like about my comp is that we WORK together. He teaches me so much but also makes sure that I don't feel too much like the student. He is very very complementary and we are always laughing! This week was full of contacting and dropping investigators that weren't progressing. That is the hardest part of missionary work right now, to say OK, we cant help you until you help yourself... it's actually much much much harder than you think. At least harder than I thought!! Anyways we continued on with our week and got another baptism for the twenty third, Right now we are focusing ourselves on part families and men so that we can get the priesthood goin down here. Honestly most all of investigators in the past are girls. There's a term down here called "mujerdocio" and man it hurts that the men are so caught up in their jobs/work that they forget their spirituality and leadership for their family, but its ok we are not down at all!

Something that I really have been smackin' myself in the head about is reading the Book of Mormon more alone. WHY DIDN'T I READ MORE BEFORE THE MISSION???!!!! The truth is that i thought i never had time, but if you ask my dad he can a test that i had a lot of time and i wasted it playing video games or watching TV, what a bummer!!! I hope you all can make the decision to read it more than just at family time. It needs personal investiture. If you want a testimony of the church of Jesus Christ, read the Book of Mormon. If you don't know if Joseph Smith is a prophet, read the Book of Mormon, if you're bored read the Book of Mormon, to have a knowledge of this book is priceless!!!  This past week I was reading the Bible a ton because many were wanting to challenge us, just "bashing" with people and it didnt really help a ton to be honest, haha! The people still disregard the words of Christ whether it be by his own mouth or the voice of my servants it is the same. I know I tweaked that scripture a little bit but I am a servant of Christ. I know he lives and that he established his church on the earth and that today it is here again. The Church of jesus christ of latter day saints is led by Christ. Read the Book of Mormon daily and know the Bible but never Bash!

Well...I STINK PEOPLE!  A bummer is that right now we have no water at our house! No water in our area!!! Today is our third day without water and wow I never realized how much we need water!But we have a pila(tank) so we are makin it work, little by little its goin down though! Hopefully the colonia(town) figures their problems out soon! Theres one colonia in our area that was without water for a full week! I have no clean clothes after today :((( so please pray for water para la victoria! The people get all mean/grumpy when their is no water haha hopefully we can brighten their day with the gospel. Please help us by simply praying for water, its a bummer without it.

I love you all have an amazing week! Mom and Dad HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! You are still both very attractive;)

Love
