This week was pretty crazy. Tuesday we had a really
good zone conference we talked a lot about elevating our visión and our goals
so that we may be able to do more and have more success. Then Wednesday
we had the worldwide misión training. They talked a lot about teaching
with the spirit and diferent ways to find new investigadors. Then Friday
we had interviews with President. The interviews are always really short,
about 10 min, but it was still really good. Presidente DIaz is a
really nice guys. Also I was able to do 2 baptismal
interviews. THey both passed and were baptized yesterday.
The only bad news is that Ruben didn't go
to church. I think he woke up late we are going to pass by again today to
talk to him. Ervin attended and he is progressing slowly but surely.
WE were able to find 6 news this week which was great for how much time we
actually had to work.
Elder Groneman and I are doing good,
reminiscing about the old MTC days in Mexico. Today we played soccer with
a bunch of missionaries and some members. Lets just say that Ive gotten
pretty good at soccer now.
Heres a good quote by Elder M Russell Ballard:
"If we want to be respected today for who we are, then
we need to act confidently—secure in the knowledge of who we are and what we
stand for—and not as if we have to apologize for our beliefs. That doesn’t mean
we should be arrogant or overbearing. Respect for others’ views should always
be a basic principle for us—it’s built right into the Articles of Faith. But
when we act as if we are a persecuted minority, or as if we expect to be
misunderstood or criticized, people will sense it and respond accordingly"
Que tengan una excelente semana
