time to head over to the temple. So that was a fantastic experience to
be in the house of the lord helping with his work on the other side of
the veil! Giving those that had not had the chance to accept this
message here a gran opportunity to receive this saving ordinances.
Then after our wonderfully spiritual time in the temple! We went to go
get my hair cut and man it feels so nice to have my hair really short
again with all this heat! Then it was back to the chapel to play some
volleyball ball and board games which was a blast! Then of to dominos
for lunch with the zone and then it was back to the church to email
every one so that was great! After emailing barrio six had a noche
hogar and since we were already going to be spending the night we
decided to stay around for the noche de hogar which was great! We even
played a little volleyball with the youth and the YSA and my team
destroyed! Then it was back to the piso for the night.
Friday: well today we had the zone conference about working with
members which was good all though I have been trying to work with the
members here in Cuenca and at least a bit smoother and there aren't
so many conflicts any more but I guess one of the big reasons I am
here is to help this small ward function like it needs to be! So I
hope that some day this small branch can get it wheels turning and
get going with this great work! Well then we all made sandwiches and
ate watermelon with the zone for lunch so that was great! And then got
a letter which was also a nice little blessing! Inside the letter was
a Mormon message that said prayer is the passport to peace which I
could use with my comp. So we will see how this last week goes until
he goes home! The rest of our night was filled with weekly planning
and a small bit of contacting to head to the chapel to take a survey
that the zone leaders said we all needed to take other then we got to
the chapel and there was no survey so oh well!
Saturday: well today started off with a basketball activity .Either
that or he thinks basketball is American football always grabbing me
and trying to trip me which I just laugh off. Then we had to go to the
computer lab so he could take all the photos off of his iPad to turn
his iPad back into the mission! Then off to hermana Patricia's house
for a noche hogar which went really well with sebichue de Ecuador
which was so good haven't had that in so long! And then of to the piso
to plan for the night.
Sunday: well today we had to meet up with a couple members from b4 at
the bus station so that we could help them get to the chapel. Then at
church Fabian the one YSA member we have gave a great talk about
conversion and his own conversion. Then Soraya gave an awesome talk
about making choices using elder monsons talk which is something we
all need to remember. Then later we had a great lesson with Petra and
saw one of the greatest miracles I have seen thus far in my mission
her husband is inactive because some of the things that he's done and
have happened in his life. However they were on vacation last week and
Petra invited him to go to church and he did for the first time in
over four years and had a complete change of heart! So in our lesson
he came in and listened to us with out us even inviting him to so that
was super awesome! He participated and even bore his testimony about
the church! So it was a very awesome Sunday! So just remember God is
good beer is bad and people are crazy but can change! Bonus points if
you get the song reference haha!
Love you guys!
Love, Elder Strong!
Well love you all and hope you have a great week.
Love, Elder Strong
