This week was another great one, full of awesome lessons, and fun times!!!
Wednesday: Started off by playing some Gatorball(Ultimate frisbee, but with a ball, the goal is to make it in the basketball hoop). That was way fun and my team won!!! That night we went crazy with calls and texts to people that have been interested, as well as stopping by a few as well and didn't have much success come out of that, but realized that many of them probably aren't interested.
Thursday: As a mission we had a zoom about health and nutrition that went really well, and then we had an awesome lesson with our friend Sujey! She had realized in studying on her own that the need to show our faith by what we do is so important and it takes work to be a disciple of Jesus Christ!
Friday: Super busy day, we had apartment inspecitons, then a lesson with our friends Gary and Diane. Gary has a solid testimony of the Book of Mormon, Diane is getting there and certainly has a desire to learn! Then we jumped to a visit with 2 recent converts Brighton and Brizeida. They are 10 and 11, and have the great testimonies of how much God loves them! Then from there we had a lesson with Erick and the Hermanas. That went well and he committed to live the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity so he can be baptized in a couple weeks! Then we visited the Hoffman family and they are amazing!
Saturday: Started off with helping someone prepare for the storm, then got in contact with a kid named Caelen. He has friends on missions and wants to look into why they went on their missions. We were also able to get a hold of Anthony, who is super humble but tough to catch.
SUNDAY: Such a crazy day. Hurricane Hillary touched down on the coast and it rained all day, and into Saturday. But around 2ish we were having lunch and there was an Earthquake!!!!!! Our whole apartment swayed a couple of times, and then just stopped. Made me and one of my companions stumble, and one almost fell out of his chair. Super crazy exerience, and I’m glad that no one I know of was harmed! Really the only highlight from Sunday.
Monday: The sun returned and we had a great district council centered around seeking and relying on the Spirit in finding, teaching, and studying the gospel. Mostly emphasized finding and following the promptings that we receive. Then we had a great visit with the Zierenberg's. I am also very proud of my Facebook post, go check it out if you haven't seen it...
Tuesday: We helped out the Zierenberg's by cleaning the outside of a camping trailer so that the wings could fold in. Then we headed to interviews. President and Sisiter Rodriguez really focused on Finding efforts and the need to talk to more people so that as a misison we can teach more people. I enjoyed my interview with President Rodriguez. He and Sister Rodriguez are amazing!! After interviews we had 2 really good contacts in the park and then did some social media work!
I really love this scripture I came across this week in my personal studies:
Helaman 6:10
"For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister."
It's amazing the blessings that will and do come as we labour with love and serve those around us!
I had an awesome week and am really looking forward to the lessons we have and the experiences that God has instore!!
