Hola from Chile 2 weeks post 02 - 2011
buenos dias familia excelente,
This week has been crazy. Tuesday we went to the airport to send away the missionaries that were ending. That was a powerful experience. Then the same day we picked up those that were just arriving - another powerful experience. Wednesday we had zone leader council. That is always inspiring and spiritual. Its different when you are the one teaching with President May instead of learning from him. My companions name is Elder Romero. Thursday we went to have a planning session with President May. Friday we had phase 2 training for new missionaries and today is p-day. On top of all that our priority is our sector. We normally only have 2 o 3 hours every day but we have 7 investigators with a baptismal date. We have found lots this week actually. I am tired out of my mind but it is really interesting how much strength I have. Even though I am working way more than before I have lots of energy and I have felt my mind quickened and also very sensitive to the spirit. This I could get used to. Also President has already talked to us about staying humble too. In 2 months we are going to change sectors of the office. That means programming everything and moving everything and opening a new sector...ha ha... cry cry lol. Anyways, next week we have 3 zone conferences and a phase 1 training for the new missionaries. Lets get this party started.
Its interesting though, even with so much work, the Lord is truly working miracles in my heart. I love the Lord and all he does for me. Thank you so much to all of you - for your legacy and for example, prayers, and for your love. In these times we are studying a lot about Nephi and his example, I can only hope to have his diligence, faith and obedience in my service.
Wuzzzzzup,
Hey guys. This week has been crazy. Lots of work and lots of assignments ha ha. special changes, 3 conferences, phase 1 training for new missionaries. too much work!! ha ha na just kidding. The more the merrier. I don’t know how to spell merrier...ha ha
Personally I would like to share a story with you all this week that we can all learn. So this week with all of the things that Elder Romero and I have had to do we have not had much time to study. Because 5 out of the 6 days we have gotten up early to prepare things for all of the activities. Actually today was the first day that we had to study. All week we could truly feel a big difference in the things that we did. There was a big loss of the spirit. Even though we were teaching and helping and serving all week long it just wasn’t the same without the spirit and without the studies. So, basically we have decided to just be men and get up even earlier and study bright and early in the morning. So basically what we can learn from this experience is the great importance of daily, every day, not one day missed, scripture study. If we do not study the scriptures we will not have the spirit in our lives and we will slowly be cast out of the presence of God. So please, I beg all of you that if you are not reading every day, start doing it now.
Well sorry that this letter has been kind of boring and short but I gots things to bes doing. ha ha love you all and have a great week.
