"It's already my first transfer!!! how crazy is that!?! it went by sooooo fast it´s not even funny! I only have 11 more transfers in my mission!!! ya... that sounds crazy right!?! 11! I´m so glad that my trainer and I get another transfer together, and that l am still here because i still don´t know the area very well lol but hey, i´m learning little by little... line upon line, precept upon precept like a summer shower, giving us each hour his wisdoooom! haha! idk if those are even the right song lyrics... don´t think so... but you know what i mean... i hope.. lol :D
It´s so true what you were saying about the whole 'ward' thing! That´s why we have wards! I really think that Heavenly Father knows best, and he gave us wards to help us out for real! And if we don´t go, we are only hurting ourselfs. We get so many blessings from going to church, more than we may realize. Like with every commandment. God knows what will help us here on earth, we just have to trust him enough to do what he says. It´s by living the law that we are able to see how much of a blessing it really is, and how much joy it really does bring! We have commandments to protect us and help us live in happiness and, of course it´s our choice to follow them or not but, if we don´t, we miss out on SOOOOOOO many things! Our level of overall happiness is based on us following what has been commanded of us! That´s something i really got to learn here on my mission thus far.
LOVES!!!!
Alright, so my week has been más o menos... it´s been kind of a 'down' week- we had a lot of people bail on us this week. Dyanna and Christian (i can´t remember if i told you or not) are a super great family, but the only issue is that they are not married and the husband told us that he doesn´t know if he wants to get married... even though they have lived in the same house with four kids for quite a few years... it´s weird. But it happens a LOT here. So we made a lunch appointment with them, but it fell through so we had to stop by there house everytime we were in their area to try and see if we could contact them but it´s been kind of hard. Finally we contacted them but only dyanna was home. We gave her and her daughter a short message from the Liahonna because the dad wasn´t there, and we made another appointment with them next week. So nothing really new there. Same thing with Veronica. She didn´t come to the capilla, so we keep passing by her house- but her daughter came out and told us she was 'sleeping', so we asked her to ask her which day we could stop by. The kid went in the house for like two seconds and then came back out and told us 'sometime in the trade'... aka she was definately not asleep... idk. We tried contacting her a few more times but she´s either ¨showering,¨ ¨sleeping¨ or gone. We´re hoping that she wants to learn more still, but if not, we would greatly appreciate it if she would just tell us 'no' so that we don´t have to go by everyday. She lives kind of farther out, so it takes a little while to get to her house.
None of our menos activos or our investigators came to church this week, which really made us feel bummed. It was kind of a hard week and it made me want to leave Adrogué and go to a different area... but then we found a family. Three girls, None of them have a unmarried spouse or a boyfriend, they had a book of mormon that some missionaries gave them years back, and they loved what we talked about with them in the short time we had. They are real capas!!! We love them soooooo much and we think that they might be our baptisms!!!! They are so ready and they don´t smoke, drink tea, coffie, or alcohol much, so they really are the 'golden investigators' that we´ve been praying for, and we just met them in the street one day when we were heading home! How crazy is that?! So, i´ll make sure to keep you updated on that! But ya, that´s been my week! Still here in Adrogué with my trainer and we are super happy to be together for another transfer!!! Wooooot!
