Hey
mom. So like I don't have anything crazy exciting. But this week was better than
last I think. To start off District meeting was better than the other week.
Everything ran a lot smoother and everyone said it was better so I was happy
about that. I really don't like giving trainings and stuff because I don't feel
like I'm good enough to be able to tell people that they are doing things wrong
or need to do stuff better when I'm not perfect. I don't know I just don't like
it. But anyway.
We
had some really good dinners. We usually get fed maybe, and I mean maybe, 3
times a week. But we've had some really nice members who have given us money or
given us food for us to take home and eat. That's what the one picture I have
is of. Us eating some food given to us by an awesome member family! Got our
pollo, arroz, salsita, and tortillas. Awwwwwww yeah. Good food. This is after
we did nightly planning just so nobody freaks out about us not wearing ties!!!!
Other
then that the only big thing was the service we did. We went with like all the
missionaries in the stake, almost but not quite, maybe like 20 or so and we
helped set up a huge Halloween display on 3 houses. We had to leave so I only
have pictures of 2 of the houses. But I'll see if we can pass by them and get
some pictures. Also on Halloween we have to be in our apartments at 6 and do
weekly planning. It'd be ok if we had a copy of the Testaments or something to
watch when we finish but we don't have anything soooo its gonna be a pretty
lame night.
The
other exciting thing from this week has been the Exchange. Elder Reber came
with me to my area on Friday and it was fun. I learned a lot about planning
better and teaching. But I think I learned the most about talking With
people and not talking To people. Cause everyone can talk to people, and
you just spit out a memorized speech or something. The hard part is talking
with people. Having a conversation and getting to know them and showing them
that you care about them. I have problems with that. I don't feel very
confident but Elder Reber helped me have conversations and focus on just
getting to know the people so I'm working on that right now. Talking with
everyone and asking them everyone the good questions to get referrals.
But
yeah that's about my week.
I
know this church is true and that God lives and loves us. I know that we only
get trials that God knows we can handle and that if we humble ourselves before
Him, He will make the week things become strong and we will be better than we
ever were before. We are here on this earth to work towards perfection. To
become as our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are and though we can't make it
to perfection in this life with their help we can get move closer and closer to
it. And one day we will be perfect as they are perfect.
I
know this is true and that we the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints are led by Jesus Christ. This is His Church and His work and
He is going to help us do it.
Have
a great week!
Love
you all!!!
Bye!!!
