I've been focusing on Christlike attributes and I've felt myself growing closer to God. But now because I"m the senior comp I also have to focus on language training, paying rent, planning the day, teaching, and I've been having to teach the gospel principles class on Sundays.. Which its hard to teach in Spanish. But so far on my mission the thing that's changed the most in me.. is just realizing the importance of being consecrated. I think of how I lived before my mission... and now seeing how much more I could have done. I wasted so much time before my mission with my phone and watching tv and just doing useless stuff. Its obviously not bad to watch tv.. but just to have your priorities straight. And God should always be put first. And also just how we should work hard in our callings, and do visiting teaching, and help the missionaries in our area. There's just so many aspects of the gospel that I wasn't understanding, or living fully. Church shouldn't just be a part of our schedule, but an opportunity to not only worship, but grow our faith, and shape our lives, and motivate us to reach out to others. I guess that is what got me here- but I just had an aha moment.
We did an activity this week where we had all the missionaries in our zone come to our area.. and i planned out where i wanted to put everyone.. and we all worked for an afternoon to get a bunch of referencias. And we got like 60 names and addresses! I'm keeping the faith, because I'm sure that God put at least 1 person in our paths during this activity. We had a few good discussions with people this week. One guy we found because we were looking for his friend (who was one of the referencias)... the guy we went to see, just seemed like he wanted to prove us wrong, and would hardly let me get a word in.. but his friend was listening and actually seemed interested. (Ody.. he has a brother who was a member who died 4 years ago!) so hes interested in learning what his brother believed :)
The latina hermana missionaries seem to like me. I don't know why. The sister training leaders apparently had a fight over who was gonna go on divisions with me. And they all feel my muscles and think I"m buff.. so they called me hermana hulk lol.
Anyway, I"m praying for you guys.. and I love you all! and thank you for all the photos.. i love photos :) and have a good week!
