MA!
Those updates are great ha ha! I loved um!
This last week was a really solid one! So I don't really know what to
update you one back because it really is the same old routine out here,
we wake up, study, get out, and WALK! ha ha this past week has really
made me realize A LOT.... Because in Mississauga, I was constantly on the
phone... constantly talking to people and constantly trying to improve
our lessons... but here you really CANT ha ha..... the people we are
teaching are basically ALL DIVORCED LADIES!!!!! So we cant go into their
houses, and they work sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
haha.... the only guys we teach we can meet with only once a week too...
sooo its sooo different! We walk to find people and sometimes we don't
find a single person haha... its been REALLY different... its hard not
to get discouraged you know? It's like I'm in a little cage and Satan has a
stick and is poking the crap out of me non stop hahah..... I have so
much time just to think.. and he gets in there and works on me. Its like
the MTC all over again but here we are walking about a half marathon
everyday...( if you think I'm kidding I'm really not hahah, we measured it
last time) haha it really is CRAZY!!!
But that is the average day... so
the first couple days this week were, to me, days of wasting the lords
time.. because for some reason you just feel like you are if you aren't
teaching and talking to tons of people... BUT on Friday we started
pickin it up... we got like 5 lessons that day and we were on fire! We
ended up having 2 investigators come to our awesome branch this week and
it was AHHH!! SOOO AWESSSOOMMEEE!!!!! We had this ward picnic on
Saturday as well and we had 3 investigators go to that.. its a mom and
her 2 daughters, when the missionaries found her she was lookin for a
church but she just had to work A LOT! She applied for this job, the
other day, and if she gets it she wont be working anymore on Sundays!!!!
and after this ward picnic, she is SUPER interested! So we seriously
are close to helping some people out!
We are moving!!! We're going to
this attic of some member, and its really a cool place! Its got a way
old school feel to it, UHH you know how I love old/modernized
buildings... its GNARRLLLY! :) haha but seriously its going to be
insanely cool! But the other day we saw a tranny across the street there
soo :/ that might be a little sketchy haha hopefully we don't run into
him in the later hours of the day eh? haha sooo I forgot to say this
but in the new district we have like 10 missionaries?? I believe? but
they are all cool but there is one named elder Dewey! I love him, such a
good guy! But turns out his dad is like the churches artist! how cool
is that? and his dad is SOO GOOD haha I have so many of his pictures at
our place! but his name is Simon Dewey... he's insanely good! I think
his art is on last months ensign?? I think.. I'm not sure though!
Seriously the Spanish is getting better.... its SO hard!!! hahah I hate
it but love it! I've always wanted to learn Spanish but its sooooooo
difficult... missionaries who go to foreign countries have it easy haha I
bet they learn it in months!! because its all they hear!! here, I'm
constantly switching back and forth, so its slow. but it really is
coming haha I feel way better about it! but yeahh... nothin too crazy
here haha I love you guys so much :) oh in this weeks letter from the
president there was this quote : “Satan doesn't care if you think highly
of yourself or poorly of yourself, as long as you're thinking of
yourself. As long as we allow Satan to focus our attention inward, we
defer to him the victory. Be it through the false pride of accrediting
ourselves for achievement, growth, and learning rather than the Lord, or
through worthless feelings of inadequacy and complacency, he will exert
his power and influence on every front to dilute our motivation,
frustrate our best efforts, and hamper our success.” I thought it was
soooooo good so I thought I'd share it! haha I love you guys so much! I
feel your love here in the crazy great white, and I cant thank you
enough for your prayers :) I love you so much!
Forever and Always,
Elder Beyer ;)
