Hola!!!! From under the equator!!!!!
Well, this week we had changes, but I was not changed!!!!! Wooohooooooo we got two new elders in the zone and we are happy with that. On Wednesday we had a zone leader council and it went well, we learned some new things, and we made a couple of new goals as a mission. Also, Sister Blunck talked a little bit about the importance not only of what we do, but of who we become in the mission and in our lives. I started thinking about when I was little and mom and dad asked me what I wanted to be. I told them “an honest man”. Well, it is still true. I want to be an honest man in all I do, including being honest to God, and thanking Him for all that He has given me. It was cool for me to remember that far back, and to think about who I am and who I have been and who I can be in the future.
On Thursday we taught Raul, and we read about Alma the Younger’s conversion with him. It was a cool lesson and we could see that he started thinking because of it. Then that same night, he sent a text to our phone that said that he wanted to prepare himself for the last judgement and that he wanted us to pass by and tell him when he could be baptized. We were just looking at each other like “wow, the Lord is amazing.…” Raul has a lot to change, but he can do it and we are here to help him.
Yesterday we made banana chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!!!! Mmmm with milk. Also Yesterday was the elections here, so we couldn’t teach lessons in the morning or anything. So we watched Legacy.... :) We also found an awesome family contacting in the street!!!!!
The work is progressing, and no hand can stop it from doing so. I know that this is the true gospel of the Savior Jesus Christ, and that His will is that all of His children can return to His presence and have joy. I love the work, and I love seeing the miracles it produces. I love you all!!!! Have a great week!!!!
Love Elder Joe!!!!
