Thursday: Super fun filled day that didn't feel fulfilling(Say that 10 times fast). But it was amazing and looking back at it, it was so productive! We had interviews with President Carter. I talked to him about praying to know that the Book of Mormon is true, when I have already figured it out. And he said that he prays to know how to apply the true teachings in the Book of Mormon in his life, rather than praying to know that it is true!!! After interview we went tracting and 6 doors in a row opened up, met Lucifer, she is quite the character, but invited us back for Tuesday and we'll get to that! We also ran into Patrick, who had a lot of gospel knowledge, knows there's one path back to Christ, but he's not sure where it is... So we'll be teaching him and his wife Mary!! Sorry, Thursday was baller!
Friday: Stopped by a member just in time for them to need a blessing, that was awesome! Helped a lady in San Miguel move some stuff, had a great visit with Brother Anaya! And then we stopped by what we thought was a less active member, turned out to be a girl named Fernanda that is interested in learning more about how Jesus Christ can bless and strenghthen her!
Saturday: Did some fun yardwork in the morning, then went and visited a less active family that is super cool! Our lesson with Evelyn fell through because she got sick at work... Got some fun people to teach on Facebook!
Sunday: Church was great! We went to a memorial day Barbecue at the Hogelands house, then knocked some door and didn't get much of a response...
Monday: Had an awesome video call with a Facebook friend, we talked about Jesus Christ's Atonement and he really liked it and were calling again, on Friday!!! Then we Had an amazing District Council on the Book of Mormon and Bible supporting each other and what it truly means to have a testimony!!
Tuesday: Exchange with the zone leaders. I was with Elder Merrill up here in Paso, and it was so fun! We did some service, used our spanish skills to invite people to English class, taught Lucifer (AKA Toby), she was completely blown away by the atonement, and thought it was so cool how one person would do that!!! Then we set up a service with Nate, who is a non-member with the cutest family that we'll hopefully start teaching!!!
I love this Quote from Elder Uchtdorf:
"If you hesitate in this adventure because you doubt your ability, remember that discipleship is not about doing things perfectly; it’s about doing things intentionally. It is your choices that show what you truly are, far more than your abilities," God loves us, wants us to help others feel of that same love, and we can't hesitate, we must act!!!
Super crazy week, it was so fun, and I am looking forward to another awesome week, Love you all!!!!!!
