Another week has gone by... and it went
by way to fast! I'm trying to remember everything we did, because we
worked a ton, but it all went by too quickly to remember specific
moments.
On Tuesday,
we had splits and I got to go with Hna. Weeks, an amazing missionary from
California. It was so fantastic! She's a super hard worker and we
contacted as much as we could to help out the area. It was one of the
most successful splits I've had on the mission because we were able to
figure out how to solve a problem that she has been having. Really, the Spirit helped us out so much! The Spirit guided us to the core of the
problem doing companionship study and guided us to the solution. It was
such an amazing experience!
We've been helping
la familia Duarte learn to love to read the Book of Mormon and we gave
them a sheet to be able to update their reading every day. They now have
a mini competition between all of them to see who can finish the Book
of Mormon first. The Spirit has been helping us out a ton with them and I
know that the Holy Ghost is helping them gain deeper testimonies of
this gospel.
Something big I learned this week
is the importance loving people to death. When we love people
unconditionally, they feel it, making them want to change by their own
accord. We can never force people to change and change is not easy. But,
when we love people as the Savior loves them, they begin to change all
by themselves, making the experience all the more meaningful. We are all
imperfect and we all need to feel the love of others to overcome our
imperfections. Loving the Lord and loving others is the key to success
in missionary work and in life in general. I have gained a better
appreciation for this powerful principle and I hope to better apply it
here in the field. I am so glad that Christ is the perfect example we
all need to follow to learn to love those around us.
I
love you all! And sorry that I have no pictures this week! The week
went by so fast that I forgot to take pictures to send home.
Have a great week!
