Hola todos!
So last week in district meeting we played two truths and a lie to get to know each other, and I mentioned that I could solve a rubik´s cube, so one of the elders let me use his 2x2x3 cube (which I had never seen before) and said to solve it like a 3x3, but it´s completely different, but I solved it this week :).
We´re starting our Christmas campaign this week after Thanksgiving (which I will be celebrating alone :(...). Our President organized for us to receive enough pass a long cards to give out 75.... EVERY DAY!! :s. We´re also going to be getting together as districts and zones to sing in choirs in parks every weekend until Christmas, and it´s going to be super fun!
This week´s been full of miracles. We found a less active that has never been home before, and got his number and an appointment. The same day, we went to visit another less active (who is now evangelical) and she told us that her pastor told her not to listen to us anymore :(. But we´ll probably drop something off at Christmas anyway :D.
I was reading about Aaron, and thought about him and his brother Ammon, and the conversation they had in the prison.
Ammon: Hey brother, wow, you look terrible.
Aaron: Yeah, it´s been rough. No one wanted to talk to us, but it´s all for the Lord, right?
Right.
How did you let us out?
Oh, this is Lamoni. I baptized him, his queen, and all of his servants, plus a bunch of his citizens this week.
..... Oh....
So often in missionary work we make comparisons between our work and others, but WE SHOULDN´T. (this applies to any other aspect of life, too).
Then a few chapters later, I found something I´d never noticed. After destroying the city of Ammonihah, many of the Lamanites remembered the words OF AARON, and were converted, and went to live with the people of Ammon.
Every good thing you do counts.
Also, in this section both of the kings--when converted-- shared their testimony with their people but established religious tolerance. Thought it was interesting...
We were able to teach a lot of less actives.
Our new investigator asked me if I was from Ukraine.... Never got that before :). Another first-- we knocked on a door, and the guy who came out gave us the cross, and left :S.
The Flia Ortiz let us in again, and we had fun chatting. There is so much love in that house, but she is very sensitive when we share things about the church.
Speaking of the church, there was a baptism from the elders yesterday, and I got to lead the music, and my comp got to give another talk (she also spoke in sacrament meeting :)).
Also, the husband of a member who is generally inactive also came to the church.
Yeah!!
As I said, a week of miracles.
I´ve really been able to feel closer to the Spirit this week, and feel the excitement of the work.
Love you all so much!
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
