Man I can't keep track of the time anymore! I swear I try to
do something and all of a sudden the time is gone or gets used in something
else. I have no idea how President Boucher can manage the whole mission. This
week was full of surprises and some let downs, but we did see a really cool
miracle.
Things have been rough as a zone. Only the sister
missionaries in the zone have been baptizing. The elders in the zone haven't
had a baptism in over 3 months. Which is rough, really rough. So we've been
trying to figure out what's going on... but things just continue the same!
The baptism we were supposed to have on Saturday fell
through. We had a 9 year old boy lined up to be baptized but apparently his
family wasn't ready to support him or something... we passed by like 3 times in
2 days and nobody would answer us or tell us what was going on. Basically they
kinda shut us out. But hopefully now we understand the situation a little
better and now we can work a little slower to prepare him to be baptized.
On Sunday we out to another city that I had never worked in
and we felt that we had to talk with a dad and his 16 year old son who were
playing a pretty serious 1v1 game of basketball. So we kinda stopped the game
and talked with them and they were super cool! The dad was like in love with
the Book of Mormon and wants to come to church and looks like they both have
some serious potential! So in the midst of so many distractions and the
craziness of the week and the stress we have encima, I think we found a little
miracle and we'll see what comes of it!
On Saturday we got to go to a conference with Elder Andersen
of the Quorum of the 12, and it was awesome! The spirit was so strong there. I
also got to shake his hand so no big deal... But he talked a lot about helping
the Young Single Adults to bring their friends to church and it's so true! They
know everybody and are way better at talking to their friends than we are! So
that's our goal, is work more with the YSA. Literally you could just feel how
inspired his talk was... Goodness gracious it just makes you love the mission.
After the conference I felt like I never want the mission to end!
I know that this is His church. We are the only ones that
can do His work because we have the truth! The Restored Gospel is what every
person needs, even if they don't recognize it right now.
Love you all!
