Well today was changes
and it looks like I'll be stayin here in Madero! (President is now keeping
missionaries in the same areas for 5 changes) so I'll be here in Cuautepec for
a lil while(: my new comp is from Cuiliacan Mexico and he loves basketball so
right now things are going really really well!!
This week was frustrating, one of the members started
drinking again after a month and a half of being sober, so we visited him and
read some scriptures and roasted him, I mean shared with him some key
scriptures (with lots of love of course). He started crying and thanked us over
and over again then promised us he would never drink again and said hes was
going to talk to the bishop Sunday and get on the right track again....... he didn't show up
to church which is now at 8:30. There
was 19 people at Sacrament meeting..... and 4 of the people were missionaries.
We already had a huge struggle getting people to church and now its only going
to be harder so PLEASE pray for us.
The other frustrating thing that happened was I literally
couldn't speak spanish in one lesson. Everything I said was conjugated wrong
and didn't make sense. so after the lesson our investigator said you need
practice, so will you say the closing prayer? When I left, the family laughed
at me when I walked out the door. Hummmm so yeah after that lesson felt
like the worst person ever. It was the last lesson of the day so I went home
and I just sat at my desk staring at the scriptures thinking what the heck am I
doing. It was hard!
The next day we had a lesson again and I prayed long and
hard for help and guidance in the next lesson. When we arrived at the next
lesson I did all the talking. I taught the whole lesson and the whole time they
were in awe. When we left elder Aguilar said that was the best spanish hes
heard me speak. True faith leads to actions and actions lead to miracles, which
i am extremely grateful for.
Hope you all have a
good week!!!
