| Elder Schwenke and I in front of the Royal Palace |
Being
a missionary is hard work. Both physically and spiritually.
Physically:
I had a companionship
exchange with someone in our district. Elder Schwenke left with Elder Mullens. I went with Elder Forsyth to teach people. Elder Forsyth is awesome, he´s
from Colorado and only has two transfers till he heads home. We walked maybe 24
kilometers (a little over 14 miles if I´m thinking right) from appointment to
appointment. I also had next to nothing to eat that day also so I was a little ornery
at times. But we able to teach two people that day and they were some of the
best lessons I had my entire stay here.
Spiritually:
The one baptism we
had never happened. Jose stopped taking our calls and the last time he saw us
he said doesn´t know if he wants to
be. He was the best investigator, now we´ve lost contact with him. He said he knows
the Book of Mormon is true, and what we teach makes perfect sense but we still might
lose him, for now. Hopefully he will come back someday. The seeds are planted. Yet
we are teaching this family from Chile and I had the best experience of my life
being with them. We were teaching the significance of prayer and when we were
done the scripture we shared was in Enos. Sandra testified to what we are
teaching is true because that is how God wants us to pray and she knows this is
what her family needs.
I
want to share the scripture I´ve been reading over and over again. But I still
love hearing it.
Y
si, alguno de vosotros, tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a dios. Quien da a
todos abundantemente, y sin reproche, le seré dada. Santiago 1: 5 (James 1:5)
