Hey Family!!
This week has gone by really fast and i really wish that I could take a breather but the time just flies by! Anyway... so everything here is very sweet but the only problem Is that its starting to get really hot!
I haven't received your package yet but im not im worried Eventually i will get it ! My companion is really sweet! He has a lot of energy and sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with him but the people absolutely love him! It's different when you're the Senior companion. I have to have the answers to questions about the mission and doctrine. It makes me feel old in the mission !
Thursday was really sweet so we had a new investigator and she is really cool. She is really Catholic . I have to just be patient. She was trying to say That she does not need to be Baptized again because she was already! I decided that was a good time to read Moroni 8:11. She did not know that there are scriptures on baptism. I Read these scriptures and she kind of thought about it for a minute and then said it is true! Wahoo!!
Friday was very cool but It is hard when a person has many problems and they want the missionaries to fix their problem. Especially when the problem is money! They think that since I am white I have the money to help them. It's hard not to help all the time, but they kind of understand when I explain that I am here serving without getting paid for my service.
Saturday was amazing Because We watched conference and me and the other missionaries from Utah got to watch in ENGLISH ! ! This conference was so powerful and was really different for some reason as a missionary ! i felt the talks were fantastic! I am really thankful that we have prophets and apostles! Sunday was the same we listened to conference and then had a few lessons afterward ! I really loved the talk of President Thomas S Monson about loving one another ! We have almost every member saying they everyone they know is part of another religion....and they aren't comfortable talking to them about the church. But it is so important we need to open our mouths and talk to people! Noy everyone needs our help but there are people out there that do. What a huge impact 15 million members could have if we just loved everybody and served others more regularly !
Monday was good but not a lot of people we home. We had 2 lessons but iihope That the baptism That we have planned for the 26 will follow through. We just need to fast and pray really hard for Reimili ! Tuesday was good because I got to eat at Burger King and That sure tasted good ! We are working hard to help the members here to Know the blessings of attending their meeting regularly. Because we have only been having about 70 people in sacrament meeting ! well that is my week family just know that I pray for you guys all the time and cant wait for mothers day !
