Serving a mission is amazing - and I'm constantly realizing what things in life really matter. I didn't get to see the devotional from the Prophet, but a member spoke about it in church.. and I liked that he said to take a social media fast -a nd during that time to pay attention to the things we start doing, stop doing, and to how we feel. I know that personally being here, away from technology, I've become a lot more studious, and learned things that I'd never known... or even thought about before. One thing the mission life has taught me about is prioritities.
So this week in my new area we did a lot of finding. This is a devout Catholic city, so its different than Bella Vista, but still found some awesome people to teach. We took the old area book and searched for a lot of people who used to talk to missionaries and visited them. We found Juana.. who`s super awesome. She feels really sad because all of her kids live in Buenos Aires, and they never call her. That made me so sad. I promise ill still call you when I'm married and moved away. haha
My comp and I have different teaching styles and at first it was rough. But we talked about it in comp inventory, and its really been improving! I've tried to be positive this week and I'm starting to adapt to the new area and apartment, etc. Our branch is super tiny here. In Relief Society on Sunday we only had 4 people. (counting me and Howe). But the members are great!
When my last ZL Elder Keicher left, he gave me his BOM study manual... and so I've been studying with that all week. Its so awesome! It clarifies a lot of the historical or geographical stuff.. as well as the spiritual.
We had a miracle happen last night where we were guided to this lady. She is a less active member that Hna How had been searching for - but didn't have her address. We contacted this lady, and she wasn't interested, so I asked if she knew of new anyone else we could visit, and she said that a lady who lived 2 streets down and to the left, was maybe passing through some trials. So we guessed a house on that street, and it was the member that Howe had been looking for for so long! Amazing! We knew that we had been led there.
Anyway, I'm doing good here... I know times gonna go by fast, so I have to make the best of it! only 4 more months.. ahh!
BTW..the babe lash is working wonders - thank you!
