great! Then it was on to go grocery shopping which actually went
pretty fast just about 15 minutes to get in and out. Then on to the
church where we played a lot of ping pong and foosball. So that was
great and then everyone wanted to go and get Chinese food so we did
that. Then back to the chapel to email for the rest of the day! So
that was great then we had a noch hogar where me and my comp taught
the restoration with a cup pyrimaid with a base of twelve so that was
super fun now every one thinks we are super cool!
Tuesday: well today we had a lesson with Do_ in the morning where
we talked about service and how we can show our love for God as we
serve his children which was good we also told him that service is a
way that he can conquer the temptations he has in his life! Then we
had a lesson with De_ where we talked about the atonement and shared
the new Easter video with her and talked about how we can find new
life through Jesus Christ. Then it was over to hermana Ju_ Ca_ house
for lunch where we had a vegetable soup and then chicken and rice.
Then it was on to do pass by's before contacting. Then pretty much
contacted for the last two hours of the day.
Wednesday: today started off with some pass by's then lunch at Fr_
house where we had spaghetti it was a nice change from all the rice
haha. Then we had a lesson with Ma_ where we talked about Easter
with her and that the atonement isn't just for our sins that she can
be relieved of all her pains from the past. Then we had a lesson with
Al_ and Ja_ where we talked about Easter and shared the new church
video and then talked a lot about prophets and the importance and great
blessing it is to have a living prophet today especially in this crazy
world we live in! Then we had a noche hogar with L_ and Ba_
family where we talked about the plan of salvation and eternal
families I am so entirely grateful for my family I am so blessed to
have them all in my life each one is such a great example to me!
Thursday: today was intercambios with elder arroyo! So that was
probably one of my favorite intercambios thus far! We actually got ten
new references from contacting in the street that was super great!
There was one man we stopped originally from Mexico but spent most of
his life in Spokane Washington so we stopped him in the street and he
told us that he is meeting with the missionaries has read the whole
Book of Mormon so that was cool so then I asked if he was visiting any
one in Spain and he said he was visiting his friend and that he wanted
us to come over and visit them and gave us the adress and the number
it was so cool! Contacting was just as good as fishing at deer creek
on a Saturday morning in July!
Friday: well today was zone conferencia where we talles about ha vino
the faith to find that was Really cool! Because often times it is hard
to keep a positive mind set while contacting because 3 days out of 5
it seems like it is just rejection after rejection. But then you
remember the promise you are given in your call to serve that there
will be people who are preparing to receive you and hear your message.
Then got my
Packages yes mom finally got the packages and they were absolutely
wonderful! Also got a few cards so that was nice as well. Then we had
a lesson with De_about the importance of remembering the atonement
and then invited her mom to church but she said she isn't ready to
come back yet. Then we had correlation and English class and then the
noche hogar where we watched a slide show of pictures of the primary
kids and talked about how important it is to teach your children the
gospel. Then ended the night with soccer with the kids and youth!
Saturday: today started off with a youth activity where we played some
ping pong which was great people are actually pretty good here in our
ward at ping pong haha. Then we played some football where we all had
a blast! Then played some uno after we were all a bit tired and ate
some pizza then we went out again and taught them how to more or less
play American football. Then pass by's then dinner of empanadas at
abuelitas and then contacting for the rest of the night and ran into
Da_ and he had a beer so we asked him to throw it away and he did
it was cool to see he was willing to do that.
Sunday: fast and testimony meeting then talked about spiritual gifts
in gospel principles which was good then after wards we talked about
the importance of youth going on missions and that was super great and
I am so greatful for my parents raising me to know of my important
duty as a priesthood holder of God to prepare myself and to serve a
mission to all those who are thinking about serving a mission I highly
encourage it after all Christ gave his life for us so why should we
not be willing to give two years or a year and a half to him? Well
that was my awesome week happy Easter everyone love you all!
Elder Strong.
