This
week has been great! I am learning a lot! Always learning! These past
few pdays i have worn my jacket during the day, but it always ends up
getting hot and i die of heat. But today i decided to wear a tshirt and
flip flops. Well turns out that it was really cold today..... So i am
learning.... Haha!
This week has been a little tough. I feel like
everyone in the sector is becoming a lot less receptive, and my
companion is becoming less responsible. A good thing, because we both
thought, oh, he will get it done, but in the end it doesnt get done. I
recognized this, so im getting it done. I talked to him about it, he
agrees. SO NOW WE ARE BOTH GOING TO WORK CRAZY HARD AND MAKE THINGS
HAPPEN!!!! YEAH!!!!
The highlight of the week is that a family of 4 is
going to church this week! They are awesome!. We plan to pass by today
and put them with fecha before they go, so they go with the right
vision. Baptism. I am continually learning how to be more loving. The
other day i was talking to a lady who got baptized who turned adventist.
For 5min i tried to be nice and promise lots of blessings etc... but
she just wasnt understanding.... so i was really clear. I asked, if you
live the mosaic law, then why dont you stone people who dont go to
church? or sacrificies? and a whole bunch of other stuff. She got
offended and angry, and no result. She also told me i should be nicer. I
thought i was really nice and loving, but she got really angry at me.
So i am always learning how i can be nicer and more loving, even when i
feel i am doing so. Blessings>destroying people and their religions. I
know this, but it is hard to not just spit it all out in their face.
GOSPEL!!!! Hahaha....
I am learning a lot about leadership. Yesterday we
had a leaders meeting. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! A lot of questions i had were
cleared up about meetings and what i can do. So now i am going to be way
more creative and go crazy with the meetings. For Example. Worst case
scenario: You are in the forest, and are teaching a guy with no legs.
How are you going to get him to church??? A member with his car. Gets
them thinking, leads to..... WORKING WITH MEMBERS! Hahah silly things
like that, the office elders are like batteries and they need recharge
hahaha!!! They need to think. Be responsable. Solve their problems. Get
thigns down. I am going to make commitments we can measure that will
develop whatever it is they need. Awesome. I cant explain it all. New
skills.
I love you all! Thank you scott and ashley for
writing! Elina, i am finishing your letter and sending it today! LOVE
YOU ALL!!!!
