to sure when the last time it was that they cleaned this place. Then
it was off to do some groccery shopping which was good. Then we went and shot some hoops
and played cards and emailed with the other elders and some of the YSA
and then it was off to contact until it was time to head back in for
the night.
Tuesday:well today we had the lovely opportunity with meeting with
M_ again. So today with her we focused on the third lesson which is
the gospel of Jesus Christ so my comp doesn't like teaching in a
fuerte way like I do some times so the lesson started off very slow
and then wasn't getting anywhere really so I decided that I was told that
I would bear strong testimony on my mission so I decided to do just
that. Telling her that our Heavenly Father is waiting for her to come
back and that all of the members here are waiting with open arms ready
to recieve her. The spirit just filled the room in that moment so I
asked if she would prepare to be baptized and she accepted the
invitation. Then later we had a lesson with one of the menos activos
about the plan of salvation since in the past five years she has lost
three children. I am so happy to know of the blessing that we can have
eternal families and so grateful for the eternal family I have! Sure
brothers can be annoying at times but I love them all more than
anything else in this world.
Wednesday: well today we had district meeting which went well I had
the opportunity to give a talk on humility which is something every
missionary needs in their mission. We all must remember it's not what
we are doing but it's what the lord is doing through us. Then later we
went over to a members house for lunch and talked with her about
member missionary work which was super awesome because with the other
missionaries she invited her friend to church. Then later we had a
great lesson with a lady named J_ where we talked about the
restoration and invited her to keep reading the Book of Mormon
although she's doing fine with that seeing how she is already in the
book of mosiah. So that will be great meeting with her again soon.
Thursday:well today we didn't really have any lessons with
investigators but we did have a couple cool experiences. The first
cool thing that happened today was that we were out contacting after
weekly planning when we stopped to talk to this old man who ended up
not wanting anything but then a few seconds later a group of three
university students came up to us and asked what we were preaching
about so I gave them a quick run down of the restoration! Then they
asked if they could meet with us sometime and learn more so that was
awesome. Then later we had lunch with the brosevich family which was
really good we had salad and pasta and ribs so that was legit. Then
they drove us back to Valladolid. On the way back I started talking
with their 16 year old son about mission life.
He said he is a really shy guy and asked he can come over that to
prepare for a mission so then we talked about the atonement and how we
can use it to overcome weaknesses that we have and that it is not just
for our sins. Then we talked about sacrifice and then he said us as
missionaries are his super heroes so that was really cool to hear
after all what kid doesn't want to become a super hero. Well good news
now you can by being a missionary. Being a super hero means helping
other and that's just what we do help other to find the path they
strayed from that leads back to Heavenly Father.
Friday: well this morning we had a wonderful lesson with M_so that
was awesome she accepted a baptism date for the 8th of October it is a
truly neat experience as a missionary when you can see the fruits of
our Heavenly Father using you to press his work forward. Then later we
had English where I just talked to one of the guys there about all the
stories from life and he told me some stories so that was a lot of
fun. Then it was correlation and then back to contacting which was a
bit sketch because the fiestas of Valladolid have officially started.
So that was fun.
Saturday: well first we started the day off by contacting for a little
bit and then it was off to our basketball activity with the youth
which was a blast. Playing some three on three. Then later we had a
lesson with F_ about the restoration he's been investigating for
five years and hasn't gotten baptized because he wants a firm
foundation before hand. So we are just going to try and help him with
that. Then for the rest of the night it was just out contacting in the
street which has gotten kinda crazy since the Valladolid fiestas are
now under way for the next two weeks! And yeah so it's been fun haha!
Sunday: well today started off with going to church and seeing how it
was fast Sunday it was really nice just listening to every ones
testimonies. And the in priesthood talked about marriage again so
that's always fun haha. Then the rest of the day we just did pass bys
and contacted and managed to got a few references so that was awesome.
Well that was our amazing week hope you all had a great week as well.
And can't wait to hear all about it! Love you all!
Love,Elder Strong
