this week was one of the hardest and most fun weeks i have
ever had on my mission. We started to go out to the uncharted regions of the
area so far away. One thing companions are really inspired of god because Elder
Gamboa is awesome. when i was new i would not be able to do the things we have
done. All our lessons cancelled this week every one. That is all good though
because that just really confirmed to me what we needed to do so we did our
studies (Personal,companionship,12 weeks, Lang study) then went out at 1 after
lunch and did not come back till 8 sometimes 9. Out door knocking all day. On
average every day we taught 3 lessons. The rest of the time was people telling
us to leave as soon as we introduced our selfs. most of the days it was pouring
rain and we forgot our jackets one day. I actually liked that day the most we
just but the things that could get damaged in plastic bags then walked in the
rain. It was really nice and i liked walking in the rain we actually were
able to teach someone because of it haha. After the 2nd day of this i said a
prayer at night really asking if what we were doing was right. Then the thought
that came to my mind was that we are ment to sow not to reap at least for this
season. Then lessons came into my mind how i could sow better how to appeal to
the people so that the next time people meet misisonarys they will be a bit
more open to the gospel. So from that day i have been applying the things i
have learned and Elder Gamboa gave me a letter he got form his sister and even
more things came to my mind. I cannot explain everything manily because i
forgot. This is a perfect example how i dont do anything only heavenly father.
I will learn something and then forget it in the next hour then when it is
needed it will come to my mind weather teaching, finding or in meetings it
alwase comes. Then i forget it again. We sowed all the week long and still had
no one to teach but we were successful i now know what it means when they say
success in the invitation. Then on sunday and even while i am wrighting this we
have been so blessed i am speechless about how these things happened. Josh is
going hard he stopped one of his drug addictions while still off of alcohol.
Then his Joshua and his wife jenelle all came to church and loved it they
really felt the spirit and told us they really felt it. Then while i was
writing this Elder Gamboa cries out Whats this and we found 5 refferals were
sent to him form church hq. All really solid people from what i feel. I cannot
describe my joy and excitement or the other huge miracles that have happened
because this is already really long. The funny things is we got antied 2 times
this week one of them said the bible is true because they found laundry bills
at the bottom of the sea i got a video ill send it with the other videos soon
im just really busy p day is not really p day but its ok im having too much fun
working. Also i got a really fun assignment to get all the information from all
the missionary reports on working with the members and compileing them all into
one. I feel like mormon haha it has been a hard week but i loved every bit of
it.
