by waking up doing studies and then spent the rest of the day at the
church playing a card game called smash up which is this really fun
card game. Then we also ordered dominos so that was super good? Then
later in the day we had a lesson with Jose and his wife. It went well
but his wife is just now slightly starting to open her heart back up
to God so that's a great starting point and hopefully things will
continue going well with them.
Tuesday: today we had a great lesson with Maria about tithing at first
we had no idea what she was going to respond but she said she will be
more then willing to pay tithing as a member of the church so that's
good. Well the rest of the day was mainly passing by people who
weren't home and contacting so there's not to much to say.
Wednesday: today was a day that was mainly full of contacting which
was alright we managed to get a couple new references. Then in
district meeting the focus was on diligence and obedience so that was
really good since it is through those two things that we can bring
miracles to pass. Then we had lunch with Juan joe and his wife where we
had payaya which was pretty good but it's also interesting. Then we
ended the night by passing by Nicole's house to check up on her since
she hadn't come to church the last two weeks. To find out she was in
Madrid. Still was good to hear she still went to church.
Thursday: today all we really had was a lesson with Fernando where we
talked about what he needs to know before becoming a member of the
church I feel like he is ready but at the same time he has many
questions so we'll have to get on those and help him with that. But
he's a great guy and will enter into the baptismal font in his own due
time.
Friday: today we had another great lesson with Maria about the plan of
salvation which went really well since this was her second time
through that lesson which was super awesome! She didn't remember a
whole lot and my comp hardly said a word during the whole lesson so I
don't know if there's something going on. But all in all it was a
great lesson and we even got to help some of the youth get teaching
experience so that was fun. Then we had English class which was a
blast with my group we told jokes talked about vacations and sang
songs which ranged from taylor swift to the Beatles to one direction
so we had a blast. Then we had correlation with Julio which was great
he even cracked a few jokes about how small people always get the
cutest girls so that was super funny haha.
Saturday: well today started off with a wonderful basketball activity
where these two guys from Zimbabwe showed up and they were actually
pretty good. Man it's so cool over here in Spain I have played
basketball with people from all over the place. From Zimbabwe,
Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Colombia, Spain, Ecuador, and even some
one from Australia that's so cool to think about. Then later it was
just a day full of contacting and pass bys. But we did manage to get
in with an old investigator so that was nice. And then it was off to
the piso for the night.
Sunday: well today went pretty well I actually got to give another
talk this week so that was a great experience. I talked about the talk
from general conference what lack I yet which went really good. Us as
people of the world lack in something in some aspect every day and
strive to become perfect. In this talk it says we can become perfect
in Christ and that really made me think for a while and then it just
made sense! In this life we can never become perfect like Christ or as
Christ but through the atonement we are made perfect in Christ. So
just remember that every one you have a great friend whose name is
Jesus Christ and he has given you the best gift any one can offer you
which is his atonement in which through we can break through the bonds
of sin, trial, difficulty, sorrow and so much more, and to all my
favorite missionaries out there and all of you great member who are
putting in their part if you feel like you aren't having success in
your missionary efforts just remember one thing when other reject mock
you reject and shun you you are standing side by side with the
greatest life this world has ever seen which is our loving savior
Jesus Christ. I love you all so much and hope you can find the chance
to serve some one this week. Well hope you all have a great week and
I'll talk to you guys next week.
Love elder Strong
