Another week has passed by faster than I could look at it. I feel like
I´m driving on the highway, and everything is passing by too fast to
concentrate on them. So I'm just starting at the mountains in the
background so I don't get sick. Only in this case, the mountains are
appointments and things on my To Do List.
I hope
that this week has treated you all well. I know that a few of you wrote
that you had a hard week. Just remember that for every hard week there
are always two good ones waiting.
We had a good
week here in Cerro Moreno. We´ve been working hard and we are seeing
the fruits of our work. The problem is that this week was a week of
vacations and a ton of people were out of town. Including the majority
of our teaching pool. But the good news is that they should all be
getting back sometime today or tomorrow. So our numbers should be on the way back up again.
The
Women's conference was something very special. We brought an
investigator, and she was taking notes the whole time. It was such a fun
experience to see the progress that she is making in the gospel. She
told us that she knows that these things are true. And after
experiencing a bunch of different churches, she said that she has found
something that she WANTS to participate in. She WANTS to be a part of
this. I love the gospel.
This weekend we
weren't able to do a bunch of proselyting. Basically we were in the
Visitors Center. I cant remember if I have explained the ¨Capilla
Abierta¨ before. But basically what it is, is we bring the temple
visitors center to different chapels. We have banners, and we have
sister missionaries leading the tours of the chapel and explaining
things. And then two Elders dressed in white in front of the baptismal
font explaining baptism and the Holy Ghost. And all of the other Elders
leave to bring and invite people to the church to come and see. :) It is
a great program. And we did two different ones this weekend. One Saturday morning, and the other Sunday Night. And the one on Sunday was wonderfully attended. It was fun, spiritual, and enlightening. 
But
that was basically the week. And now we are heading into the middle of
the transfer. I cannot believe that I am almost done training my
companion. She is more and more able to do things without me now. Every
so often she still looks at me with questions, but more often than not
she participates and does everything just like a super missionary. I am
so proud of her. :) 
I hope that this next week
is wonderful for each of you and that you are all able to accomplish
various tasks and goals. Keep the Lord in mind and you will be able to
do everything that you need to do. Just keep in mind something that
President Uchtdorf said on Saturday,
¨Faith cannot change two things. The agency of other people, and the
will of God.¨ So pray with everything you have for the things that are
necessary. And then remember that if they don't happen, then they really
weren't that necessary for your progress. He will always give us the
things that we need to progress spiritually, sometimes the spiritual
things need to come before the physical comforts of life.
I love you all! Have a wonderful week, enjoy another day of life, and I hope to hear from you all next week!
Love,
