How is everything? This week was really good!
First,
there was this kid in the street and he asked my how to say "Adios" in
English. Easy enough right? I though he said "Dios" which means God. So I
told him "God" and he looks at me yells "GOD!!!" and runs away. I
didn't have time to fix the mistake so I hope he looks it up on Google
Translate or something.
Also the first time my English came
in handy. We were in a meeting in the Chapel and the Bishop opens the
door, points at me and said "I need you!" And I kinda looked around to
see who he was pointing at and turns out it was me. Someone had called
him and only spoke English so I talked to him and helped work the
situation out. But know I can put my English in the suitcase and forget
about it for the next two years.
There is a picture of me and
Elder Gonzalez with grapes. We were talking to this grandpa-ish man and
he had some grapes growing and we told him that his grapes were really
pretty so he got two huge bunches and gave them to us. We ate a lot of
grapes this week.
The giant sandwich looking thing is a
churrasco and we got it because we painted these people's business. It
was really good and I am on a mission (a different type of mission) to
eat a lot more churrascos.
Turns out there are even more cow skulls in Olmué than I thought so I took a picture with another.
Our
investigator Marta went to church yesterday!!! It was super awesome. We
have another lesson with her today and hopefully we can help her more!
President
Gordon B. Hinckley said "If you do your best, it will all work out. Put
your trust in God... The Lord will not forsake us." I love this quote
because it's so true. If we do all we can no matter how much or how
little that is, the Lord will make up the rest. God doesn't do things
for us, He gives us opportunities to do if for ourselves. If I pray for
patience God can't force me to be patient, but He can give me
opportunities to exercise my patience. Maybe instead of looking at you
challenges as challenges, see them as opportunities to grow and make
yourself better. Trust that God knows better, because He does. I know
that when we put our trust in God in does all work out and He will not
forget us.
Love you guys and hope your week is awesome!!
