and looked at ages stores to see if there where any cool shoes or
anything that we wanted to buy but we decided not to get anything. But
one of the stores had wifi so we were able to receive a few emails
which is always one of the best parts of pday! Then we went and did
some family history where through out the past month I have managed to
find over 200 names for the temple. Then it was off to buy food and
eat and take a small nap and then back to emailing till the end of
pday. Then Back to Work ahà hay was just contacting in the street
which went well because we managed to receive two new references and
one even turned out to be a new investigator..
Tuesday: well today we had a lesson with Eric about how we are going
to have trials each and every one of us but as we press forward in
faith we can over come these trials, we can see the light on the other
side of the tunnel. And we will receive the blessings that come after
the trial of our faith. Then he thought he could beat me and my comp
at presidents but we had to go over to the branch presidents house so
we told him that we would come by on Monday! So then it was off to the
branch presidents house for dinner a small lesson on patients and then
talking about how the church is trying to use the new Pokemon game as
a missionary tool so we'll see how that goes. And then we were suppose
to talk about the branch activity to show off our new chapel to the
community but we had to go home.
Wednesday: well today started off with a wonderful district meeting
via Skype. Through out the district meeting the main focus was on how
we as missionaries can better prepare our selves to teach the gospel.
So we first talked about how we need to study what we are going to
teach because the Holy Ghost can't plant impressions in our heart of
things we haven't taken the time to learn about and study. Then we
talked about using questions which I think is really key to teaching
exspecialy when it is teaching the gospel because if we let our
friends participate in the lesson it not only allows them to build on
their own testimony but also allows them to open up their heart to our
message. Then like usual we got to contact a bit.
Thursday: well one of our investigators is finally back in town after
about three months of vacation so that was nice to get a hold of her
and set up an appointment meant for next week. Then we had a lesson
with Marta about making sure we are staying in the right path and not
deviating from the course so that went well. Then it was of to contact
for the rest of the day.
Friday: well today we had a lesson with Eric which went great we
talked about how we all have a great meaning in this life as children
of God then shared the story of the patito feo or in English the ugly
duckling. We talked about how many times in life we may feel like we
are nothing and that if we some how disappeared no one would notice I
can almost guarantee that many people will never admit to ever feeling
that way but I can guarantee that many if not all of you have had days
like that me included. However I would like to offer this counsel look
up to heaven with a prayer in your heart and you feel of the love our
Heavenly Father has for you being a child of God has more worth then
earning a doctorate or becoming a professional athlete so just
remember you are his child and his love will always surround you.
Saturday: well today like usual started of with our basketball
activity which went well and I think that every one had a really good
time. Then we came home took a nice refreshing shower had some lunch
and then it was off to help set up the chapel for the open doors
activity that we had which went pretty well although it turned out to
be more of a noche de hogar which was great! Because one of the less
actives we are teaching came to the activity and really enjoyed it so
that was great! Then it was off to have a noche hogar with Patricia
and her family! So we talked about how sometimes we don't get the
answer we want to a prayer but how we still must follow that answer
and the Holy Ghost. Then had some pizza and played some presidents so
it was a great night.
Sunday: well today was a wonderful day at church with the opportunity
to bless the sacrament again it is a huge spiritual recharge for me
every single week! The talks were wonderful about trusting in gods
timing something we have definitely been working on here in Cuenca!
All you can really do is work hard and trust in God! That's a great
mission quote if your looking for one Haha! But really as long as we
trust in God he will help us continue in the right path pressing
forward in faith in Christ all things according to his will will be
made possible!
Well hope every one has a great week over there in the states or here
in Spain or whoever you might happen to be through out the world in
this precise moment! Love you all!
Love Elder Fuerte.
