not write you last week is that I just didn't have motivation to do
anything. It was just one of the P-days, plus we were out and about a
lot so it was a little tough to find quality time to get writing. I
actually did write something that i was going to send, but when we got
back to a source of wifi, it was too late to send something. It's best
to be obedient even in those times when we think something is
acceptable or not. That's something I've learned a lot on my mission,
the difference between a good missionary and a great one. It's tough,
but it's the great missionaries that have an everlasting change from
their missions. the thought just came to me that all the missionaries
in the Book of Mormon experienced the same thing, because of their
decisions, thousands of lives were affected down the road and well
that's something that I would like. So I hope you forgive me for being
obedient. Also thank you for sharing that thought with me about what
you learned at church. Something that i've enjoyed is sharing the
story about the title of Liberty or also a scripture in Mosiah 29:20.
I liked the title of liberty story because the "people came running
together... rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that
they would not forsake the Lord their God" (Alma 46:21). The people
understood what mattered most, which is faith in the Lord. Mosiah
29:20 says something similar, it talks about humility and how the Lord
prospers those that put their trust in him. So they both go to say
that we just need to have trust and confidence that everything will be
for our good.
Wow not sure where those thoughts came from, i guess it's somethings
that I have thought of hear and there this week. But overall this week
was good. We taught a good amount of people this week and our teaching
pool is looking pretty good. We got some people on all ends of the
spectrum, people that we barely found and also a lady that has been
coming to church and all the other stuff in between. I just hope and
pray that my comp and I can continue to work at our finding so that we
don't run into a shortage of investigators (that's the worse). The
lady i mentioned early has a lot of potential, she has come to church
twice now and the members are super friendly to her. My only concern
is her personal praying and scripture reading to find the truth, but
we will be checking on her throughout the week. Other than that I'm
not too sure what else to mention. I have 2 weeks left in training,
that has been going good, I've seen a lot of progress in my Trainee,
especially his Spanish. I think that's it for this week though. I love
you and hope you have a great week!
