This week was great as usual and went by so fast, also as usual. But seriosly I think this was one of the fastest weeks in my mission, and they´re just getting faster.
Tuesday we went my comp, the zone leaders, President, and I went to Baradero to have a meeting with the stake president about the stake. It was a good meeting, but took up almost all of the day. We had about an hour car ride there and back with president asking us questions about everyone in the zone and what´s going on, since we´ve been having some problems. It was a nervous car ride hahaha
Wednesday was also short, because we went to Campana to sing in the plaza again. It was cool, but nothing different from the other times.
Thursday we did divisions with Lima, and I went to Lima with Hermana Sparks. That is a hard area and I totally admire the sisters there for never being discouraged. I don't know if I would be able to work there and be happy all the time about it. Hermana Sparks and I ended up awake until 3 talking about who knows what.. we were exhausted the next few days.. but it was fun.
Friday we had our ward Christmas party. It was supposed to have started at 7 but no one showed up until 8, and then it took forever to get started. We did a piñata with the elders, which was fun. But we were also supposed to do that activity that I was super excited about, but due to lack of time, we werent able to... we didnt even get to eat :(
Saturday was another good day. The elders had some baptisms so we got to go to that which was cool.
We´ve had some lessons with Juan, our progressing investigator. He´s preparing to be baptized this week, on Friday. We´re super excited! He has continued to express some doubts about Joseph Smith. He believes in him and everything he´s done, but he doesn't believe he really saw God and Jesus Christ. But we had a pre-interview with him and one of the zone leaders on Sunday and he said it went really well. I guess he hasnt said anything to his family yet even though we´ve tried to have him invite his family since we met him. He´s worried about what they´ll think. So we´re going to meet them this week. He´s very self sufficient. He comes to all of the activities and the meetings alone and stays the whole time. He came early to help out for the ward Christmas party and stayed long after we did. He´s pretty great and he´s going to be awesome for the ward!!
We´ve also had a few people express interest and so we´re working with them. None that are progressing yet, but we´re working on it. Transfers are in a week and its most likely that I'm outta here so I'm trying to give everything to this last week I have here!
I read a talk in the Liahona for this month that was about the grace of Christ. It talked about Peter and when he walked on water. It talked about how he had such faith that he was able to walk on water, but looking at the storms around him, began to doubt and sink. The talk then says "When Peter fixed his eyes on the Lord and and acted in faith, he had the power to do what he could not do on his own- walk on the water." This is so easy to apply to today. We have storms all around us, but when we fix our eyes and faith on the Lord, we will able to walk on the water.
Have an amazing week and FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!
Love,
