Group 2-13-17
Well another week down here on the mission! It was pretty fast to be honest but not the fastest.
Monday was fun because we went and played soccer with the zone. I love soccer so much I forgot how much fun it was. We played that for like 4 hours then we went and ate Chinese food. We went home and emailed you guys.
Tuesday was really special because we got to have a zone conference with another zone. It was mainly about the schedule change. I like it a lot and it is going to be a lot less stressful. They also taught us a couple things like always but that was the heart of it. After we just went to see a couple because the conference took pretty much all day.
Wednesday was a really good day. We got some serious work done. We saw a couple people then we met up with two members. We got to do divisions and I went with our ward mission leader. The first appointment I had with him sucked big time. There where these two people that all they wanted to do was content. The were very dumb people and their reasoning was so stupid. We would teach something so clearly and they would just not understand. It wasn´t my Spanish either. I was getting really fired up because they where just super rude and so not open to learn. They think that their church was the first church and we explain how it couldn´t be because the church of Jesus Christ was not established the way theirs was. I tried my best and kept my cool as much as I could. After that we went to a investigator that doesn´t know a whole lot about religion and wants to so that made me feel good again. Finished the night with a nice meal!
Thursday started off pretty frustrating. We had a appointment with one of our investigators that was progressing pretty well. She said she always felt good when she was around us and likes what we teach. She wants to keep learning but she is scared of the people in her church and changing would not be good in that sense. We talked to her the other night and we told her she has her agency and if you feel good about something you should pursue it then set another appointment. Her friend from her church was at this appointment. She just starts going off about how she doesn´t need another church and how our church is wrong because we have Prophets and Apostles. We tell her that is the way Jesus Christ made his church and told her that God and Christ don´t change but she still didn´t understand. In the end the investigator still liked us and our teachings and was going to continue praying to know the truth. We gave her our number to call when she gets the answer but it was just annoying that her friend was there and started talking in her behalf. The rest of the day was alright. We had some good appointments but nothing crazy.
Friday was alright. We didn´t have district meeting so we where supposed to leave. Someone didn´t want to so I got about 3 hours of personal study in that day. I really like it, not going to lie. I am reading Jesus the Christ. Very good book! Also I am reading the teachings of Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. I am also reading all of the general conference talks! So awesome that we can have all these word from Prophets and Apostles today! The work was pretty good! We saw a couple people and then we are teaching a bunch of members how to be missionaries. After we had a meeting so we only got to work about half of the day. Wasn´t too bad in the end though.
Saturday was pretty good because we played some hard core ball in the morning! You guys can´t believe how much I sweat! When it is really humid and 80 degrees I just get soaked in my own sweat! It is good in the since that I am burning all the fat off! After that we had a appointment in the morning with a lady we contacted a couple days earlier. She is actually really cool and we taught her and she was really open to it and even did some of the additional study in the pamphlet! At the end she asked how can she know what we do and see the way we run thing. Super cool when people ask that and we told her that attending church is a good first step haha! It was a awesome start to our day. We then went and saw some less actives to remind them about the church on Sunday. We had another appointment with a recent contact and we asked to talk to her dad and he is a hard core member of another church and just gave us a huge lecture of stuff we already new and I was so sick of listening to people like him. This week we have met with about 5 people like that and I just get so fired up and it takes a lot for me to keep my cool but I did it. We saw a couple other people and then called it a day!
Sunday was alright. It was pretty chill and we had a couple investigators in church at least. After church we just met with a couple people. Sundays are usually pretty hard to teach here for some reason. People are usually with their family and eating.
Today was great so far! We went and played basketball and soccer with another zone. A lot of fun and I got to play some fun basketball with Elder Pearson. I am super tired now! We also got all of our hairs cut (not just “a” hair cut) then made a pathetic lunch because I am to lazy right now to make a nice healthy one.
Overall it was a fun week! Pretty fast and things are slowly improving! My testimony is growing everyday and I am loving the mission! Yea there a lot of things that I miss about home but they can´t bring the same happiness this can!
