I guess i will start it all off witht he big BANG of the week yall ready?
So once upon a time a man contacted us in the street. His name was Juan. Juan was really interested in the church and said he has assisted the church one time and really liked it and even asked us if we still had a bautsimal font. so we wrote down his name and his number and planned to visit him. Tuesday night at 8 we were supposed to visit him but we couldnt make it because we had exchanges this day and it put us behind schedule and the appointment with a less active was going longer than expected so i called him and asked if we could move the visit to the next day at the same time and he said yes of course because i just recently got home from my farm and it works out better or me. Well after a long day of contacting we got back to the house an i planned as my hermana leader was going through our area book reviewing everything. I finsihed planning and wanted to go straight to bed... well as we were going sawing logs the phone rang at 1 IN THE MORNING and as all of you know i could sleep through anything so naturally i thought it was a dream but the hermana leader wakes up to everything so she answered the phone and later told me the next morning that a crazy lady called cussing us out saying we were making moves on her husband but that he is angelic well the hermana leader tried to calm this lady down and tell her not to worry that we would call later that day click.. well she called back again 2 times so we had to turn the phone off well the next morning during our district meeting this same lady called 3 times and each time it was a diferent number and each time she cussed us out sayig wierd things but finally the district leader took the phone and said to stop calling and not worry we couldnt do anything to them or visit there house welll after that she called again but we didnt answer.
I honestly could not believe it along with the fact on friday we had a really awesome lesson with the family oparto yarzo (victor javier, renata, carla, and victoria) we talked about the restoration and they loved it asked questions and were really receptive but then all went to the toilet because they had a question so i said yeah what? are you a virgen? umm what? we want to know if you have to be virgens to go on missions. my comp was dying because she doenst talk about anything like that ever she doesnt like saying she needs to use the bathroom. so i just laughed and basically taught the law of chastiy. they were really happy and said its always good to have gringa missionaries because they are open about everything and will teach all the stuff. i was laughing so hard after because to this day my comp is freaked out.
So a thing to share with my friends and my littke brother because im sure you guys will find it funny my comp is learning english and asked for my help so when we were out contacting a lot of people rejected us so i asked my comp so say something in english so we could practice and she could cheer up. and she says YA´LL NEED JESUS! i busted out laughing because she has the best accent. she also has determined that i need to marry into her family because she has a brother that is 21 and she cant live without me she says.
Okay enough with that on to the spirit experiences this week
Miguel Angel had a rough experence with church yesterday and was bulled a little by the other kids in the primary so him and his mom left church early but everything is okay right now and i think he is still okay for baptism. during our lesson before he stopped and said i need to pray then knelt down and began to pray it was such an amazing experience.
This week i have spent a lot of time studying the examples of Ammon, Alma and Amulek in the mission. they were such powerful missionaries and full of the spirit. They always wanted to follow the lord even when others were suffering. in Chapter 14 they are watching the wrath of god upon the people by fire. The fire is comsuming all and amulek turns to alma when he sees the innocent woman and chilren crying and perishing. ¨how can we witness this? cant we reach out our hand to them and rescue them? and Alma says no this needs to happen but those that are innocent are in the pressence of our god and they are happy. I was so amazed at this because many times in the mission we have to leave non profressing inv or less actives and my heart mourns for them but in the end i know we can stil give them littel notes at there door and pray for them.
The lords work. This week was a week full of trials and yesterday i recieved another answer i have been searching for. our brake president of the ward had lunch with us and shared a story that President Gordan B Hinckley was feeling sad and down that a lot of things were working the way he had wanted that he felt unworthy and inadequate for this work and that in that moment he heard very clearly the voice of our loving father in heaven saying Gordan Gordan this is my work not your work. This literally pierced my soul. When we as missionaries or members or leaders in the chruch take pity on ourselfs or feel down that something didnt turn out the way we wanted or that we are not doing enough we need ot remember its not our work ITS THE LORDS WORK and in his time and way he will have things happen. My compy and I really studied that this morning to foucs on the fact that we cant control the work and we arent ment to we are ment to simply live our lives in harmony with the commandments and teaching of our savior and he does the rest. i love you all remember to always be ready to share the gospel an when things dont go as you wish remember its not our work but the lords (:
