I will start off by letting you know that i love my mission!!! it is just the most amazing decision i ever made in my life! im learning and growing so much every day, and every day just flies by! We have been staying way busy and so i will have to just give a summary of what we did this week but ill try and get the best parts!
Monday: We had an awesome district lunch and then a really fun branch family home evening! it was kind of sad to see elder gunther and ruano go, but the new district here is awesome!
Tuesday: We saw the Rudds and a bunch of other members to say goodbye for elder gunther, we were also trying to see our investigators one more time for him, so we were basically packed! i love busy days though!
Wednesday: Transfer day! so im still in altadena and i have elder Bott as a companion. He is in his last couple transfers of the mission and so we are finishing out strong for him! It will be awesome! I also have Elder Kellogg back in my district with Elder Faustin. Its a great group of guys and we are going to work as hard as possible to make our area the best! We spent the night helping a less active family move and hopefully they will come to church soon!
Thursday: We spent the morning helping more with moving and then had weekly planning, it always takes a while to do especially the first one of a transfer. but we were also able to teach stepfan as well as go and teach alfredo! he is doing so well too! he has been reading and praying! hopefully we will keep being able to see him!
Friday:Was district meeting! It was my first one and so i gave it on testimony! it was an awesome meeting because everyone was able to share their testimony on a scripture the loved and the spirit was just so strong! One of those kind of special moments you have sometimes that lets you know how true the scriptures really are.
Saturday: Yet another packed day haha, we met the most prepared lady ever! we knocked on her door and she started telling us how she didnt like churches because none believed the truth. when we asked her what she believed it was exactly what we do! we opened the book of mormon to the scriptures showing what we believed and she was amazed! She seamed so excited to read and learn more and so we will be going back asap! We also had a great elders chorm activity where i learned how to make pastel de tres leche! (three milk cake) it was awesome!
Sunday: I woke up early to a text begging me to give a talk in church... so, in half an hour i had to prepare a talk on the importance of women in the church, in spanish...... but, it went awesome! i talked a lot about my mother and the great example of a woman she is. hard working, faithful, loving, kind, fearless, etc. i was so grateful the lord helped me speak well enough to be understood and so grateful to follow the spirit!
So yeah, that was just the skeleton version of what we did this week, but it was a great one! we have been busier than ever on my mission and working harder than ever and i love it! Here is a little video for yall to watch! :)
Service truly is love, i love this video for how truly it demonstrates true christlike love and service. I invite all of you to try and serve someone a little more the week! Vaccum or dust with out being asked, remove someones snow or help them in their yard, hold the door for someone. Develope a habit of helpfulness and not only will you bless the lives of others, but youll be blessed. Love you all!
