HOLLYYY SMOOKEESSS!!!
I cant believe Cars made it!!! ha ha
jusss teassin! I'm still surprised that I made it through that first week
in the MTC! I truly believe that is when Satan works his hardest to
weed them out! Because its CRAAPPPYYY ha ha! but no worries! All is well
after that! This week was... hmm.... well looking back at it now, a BLUR
ha ha but other than that I really cant remember in detail what
happened! Let me look through my planner and see... hold on...
I'm Back, thanks for your patience :) well to begin this week, we
taught our recent converts Diana and Arturo a couple of times to get
them working towards the next steps of the gospel! It was really fun and
we are trying to get them stoked about the future of their lives and get
them to help some of their friends out with it as well! :) we'll see
how that goes! We did A LOT of finding today, and when I say that this
is what I mean... You go outside, walk around and people are EVERYWHERE! From there you find the Spanish and try to baptize them. Simple enough
right ha ha? But we ride buses sometimes, subway sometimes and do that as
methods of finding! Its really different than any other area I've
served in ha ha! But I LOVE IT! We seriously just need to stay in our
area and do whatever and wait til you hear some Spanish and POUNCE on
um! ha ha That's basically the week!
We got LOADS of new missionaries in the CTM, and we were really
stoked ha ha and I think the coolest thing right now is that we got 2
more areas in our zone, and now we have 11 companionship's including us!
Its really awesome because 6 of them are in training, 2 just got out of
training and the rest are just normal... BUT STILL!!!! We are SUPER
young and really excited about the future! The best thing about a new
missionary is their fire for missionary work, and how stoked they are
for the field ha ha I think its partially the reason they keep you in the
MTC so long, just so you come out like a bat outta Satan's place with
the expectations that you are baptizing anything that breathes ha ha! I
love it! We have been super fortunate to have some really incredible
missionaries come in and we are really pumped about the future!
I love where I'm at right now! We are really stoked to be together
again, Elder Prince and I, and we think that we are probably going to be
together for quite some time ha ha! That would be fun, because we are
just loving it right now! We have some upcoming dates for baptism, so
I'll let you know how that goes in the upcoming weeks!
Really quickly I kind of wanted to talk about my study that I
had... Its a really fascinating subject to me, and that is when we are
doing something wrong, why does it feel right? and also when we are in
that situation, why does it seem like the devils on our shoulder is
shouting to keep going but the little angel just sits back and watches?
and this topic really interested me... because if we are doing something
wrong, how come we feel at times that its OK? That shouldn't happen
right? WRONG. I have come to conclusion that everything in life is a
test... I look at life like a video game per say... because when we do
something right we get rewarded, but other times we fall and down
grade... but there are those weird times when we just fall into that
awful routine and feel OK with it... Get out of that NOW. This life is
full of challenges and adversity, and if we fall into it we are taking
steps backwards. There is nothing worse then letting the adversary
defeat us and push us back to where we were! The reason the angel on our
shoulder is quite at times is to see how we react and to see if we are
going to stay firm to the rod... Unfortunately that isn't as easy as that
sounds! But I thank our Lord and Savior those opportunities to grow,
this life is a blessing and despite the hard times, it truly is happy.
That's what God has intended for us, as long as we push through that hard
darkness holding us back from joy. I take Joseph Smith for example...
when he knelt in the grove of trees he was attacked and was left
alone... until he had no where else to go... but since he pushed through
he was blessed. I know that the challenges in life are given to us, for
a reason. And if we take advantage of them, we take advantage of our
individual growth. Live to your potential. Its needed from all of us as
members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. I love you
all. Make the Devil shut up with your righteousness.
