This week started off with a district meeting and a district leader that let us all have it. At first everyone was a little offended and a little upset, but then we all realized that we felt that way because what our DL was saying was right and we needed to change. He talked a lot about diligence and obedience and literally giving our all. He made us imagine that we were in our last interview with president and he made us think about whether or not we would be able to honestly say that we gave everything we had, that we were exactly obedient.
Well that made my companion and I think, and when we went to lunch we talked a lot about how we felt, about our faults, what we needed to improve, and we set a lot of goals. I'm super thankful for my comp though, Full trust in a companion is so important but sometimes so hard to have. Luckily with her it's super easy. Sadly, she just got notified that her visa has been approved and that she should be leaving in about 15 days... that means another comp for me in 15 days. Yayyy.
Our investigators, familia Godoy, are progressing well. We saw them almost every day this week, and they came to church on Sunday. Hermano Godoy had his interview with the bishop, which went really well, and so he´ll most likely be able to baptize his wife and son on Saturday!
My comp and I were able to come closer to reaching the mission goal of giving out 30 Books of Mormon in the week. We gave 25. The point of this goal is to find more people through this, and what we´ve noticed is that we´re not finding anyone. So we had a long talk about what we need to improve on, and we realized that we need to find a balance. We´re so focused on reaching the goal, and we leave behind those who have already accepted a book. So we have a lot of goals and a lot to improve on.. Time to get to work :)
I also in this very moment was asked to translate for a training for firefighters, because the guy coming to do the training is from Scotland and doesnt really speak English.. This might not be a good idea. If I'm the one translating, they might recieve all the wrong instructions..
One of my zone leaders asked me something and told me to think about it before I gave him an answer. He told me to think about my biggest fear in the mission. All day yesterday I was thinking and at first I thought my biggest fear was contacting. Then more specifically, contacting people my age because they intimidate me, and then I thought, my bigget fear is asking people to do favors for me, or have to talk to someone about a problem that we need to resolve.. and in the end I concluded that my biggest fear is going home knowing that I didnt give 100%. Well I realized that a little late into the game. I know there have been days where I may have been too lazy to call and confirm something, or was tempted to get out of bed a little late, but then I realized that it's never too late, and I still have a whole 5 months left to give everything I have. I'm excited for what these next few months have in store :)
Yesterday was also Mother´s day here in Argentina so.. Happy fake Mother´s day mom! Love you!
Love,
Hermana Prestwich
