So this week was crazy we had a bunch of things happen and it was all over the place. So if this email seems all over the place I am sorry. So to start the week on Monday we did a bunch of look ups and no one was answering the doors so discouragement was upon us. However after doing a look up we walked out of the elevator and this lady was like are you sister missionaries from the church. And before she could say which church Hermana Jofre had already said yes. She was so cute! It turns out this lady is a less active and had been looking for missionaries for a little while now. It was sooooo cool to see her face light up at the answer to her prayer as we came off that elevator. We are super excited to teach her and help her come back to church and feel of her Heavenly Father's love again.
Tuesday was our craziest day of the week. We helped our relief society move with the elders. Then we had a breakfast appointment with a member. Then we saw another less active member not soon after that. Then we had district meeting. Then from there ran to an appointment and ran to another one there after. We had like an hour for personal study and that was it. I love days like his because we work hard and come home tired and fall right to sleep then stay asleep all night and get a good nights rest.
Wednesday was a fun day. We had exchanges. Our sister training leaders are awesome. I am super happy they are out sister training leaders because I love them so much. The funny part was before we even got there. So when we left out apartment to go to their apartment it wasn't raining but as we traveled south what we didn't think would happen is be rain. So as soon as we walked out of the train and out of the subway station we did not expect rain. We didn't have our umbrellas or rain shoes. So we ran to the nearest story and Hermana Jofre bought a new umbrella. We awkwardly shared the umbrella until we got to their house. The funnier part is she left it at their house then after our meeting again on Friday after an appointment she had left it there too. So we are still working on getting her umbrella back.
Then to the exciting part of the week. Mega zone. So on Friday they switched our mission from tablets to Samsung Galaxy J3 phones. So now we only have the phone but it has data so we can use them where ever which comes in handy in the city. So this may be way my email might be a little shorter because it is a smaller screen and a smaller keyboard.
The end to our week was good we found two new investogators last night which was a great way to end our dry time of little investigators.
Oh the two funny sayigs from Hermana Jofre from this week
1)Grandpuncle- in reference to her great uncle
2) I have a bathroom in my bag.- she brought half the stuff from the bathroom with her to exchanges and left it there for the rest of the day
The attribute of Christ I choose to work on this transfer was hope. I love what preach my gospel says which is:
"Hope is an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance. It is believing and expecting that something will occur. When you have hope, you work through trials and difficulties with the confidence and assurance that all things will work together for your good. Hope helps you conquer discouragement."
After the past couple of weeks of feeling frustrated that we didn't have investigators I have seen how the Lord has been testing my hope and faith in Him. I am realizing how hard it is to have hope and faith. I know that the Lord will keep His promises as long as we just out the trust in Him. I love y'all have a good week.
Con Amor
