Week 70 - Sta Margarita 10/15/2012

o not a ton has happened this week since elder misranda went home i work with the zone leaders and we were able to teach a few lessons but didnt really have much time tuesday we had an amazing district meeting i was inspired one not to write some questions so i did and used them in district meeting since we have time for reporting and i have free reign over how it is done i just wanted to learn about my missionaries so i started with the questions and had them all close their eyes so only i knew what their answers were but i would like to ask all of you as well as these questions can help anyone see what they need to do next the first was who feels like the arent progressing as fast as they should? second who has a plan to make that progression faster? third who gets frustrated trying to accomplish their goals?  fourth who understands what the light of Christ is and what it can do for you? and fifth who has faith enough in God to let him turn us into Gods ourselves? and i was able to give a training with the help of the other missionaries and our Father in Heaven about a way to better accomplish the goals we make more quickly and effectively and that is through accountability to our leaders and to the Lord through prayer we need to let someone know what our goal is and we need to tell the Lord and ask him for help and it was really amazing because it really makes the difference when we really ask for help and show our desire to change something i read in that talk said something like "if we say we cannot change and that we are who we are then we deny the plan of salvation and cannot repent so not a good thing but we can all change all it takes is faith hope and a little action on our part as long as we do everything we are able to do God will do the rest and we will all become more like our Savior but the coolest thing that happened this week was Wednesday when the assistants called the zone leaders to let them know that i was going to be training so cool so i went to Tacloban the next day and there were 18 new missionaries and out of all of them i just happened to be training the new missionary who knows elder Andrada who i follow-up trained so cool they are both from Roxas city Capis and my trainees name is Elder Dariagan he is definitely new but i feel bad because all we have done so far is go to conference and have a zone activity and wont get to work until tomorrow after noon because we have a zone meeting tomorrow so ya it will be fun i guess but i learned so much at conference even though i didnt get to watch the whole thing  the power went out during elder Bednars talk so i was a little upset but the ensign will come soon enough but ya so today we played touch rugby its super fun and we played volley ball and basketball so much fun since we have 2 tongans and 2 samoans and an Australian super cool and ourt new zone leader is an American named elder Johnson he is so cool and then we are having a zone family home evening tonight but there are 4 sets of missionaries training in our zone right now this is going to be crazy and i cant wait to see the things that are going to happen im expecting big miracles with the branch my companion and in myself especialy im so glad i have this wonderful opportunity to be learning so much as a trainer i can see its going to be harder than last time but it will be amazing but i love you all and pray for you everyday and hope that you are learning as much as i am if not just pray and ask for help and set some goals to become better it works really well. well until next week i love missionary work.
