so this week was different we were only able to teach 4 lessons there
were a couple reasons but its ok because the lessons we taught were
awesome we had some of the youth come work with us and i asked them why
they wanted to spend their semester break working with the missionaries
and they said they wanted to learn the things we teach to the people i
was really impressed with the way they were able to follow the spirit in
helping us teach and getting appointments to teach more people so cool
the the young women met us at our appointment and the person was asleep
so the one young women said lets visit the arniaz family so they went to
their house and we went a different way and they got there and started
talking to the mom who was on her way back to work and the young women
had already invited and commited her to come to church sunday and she
was there so cool the the same young women asked where one of our old
investigators lived so we could go visit him and it was just around the
corner so we got in to talk with him and the reason why we stopped
teaching him before was because he would always say the church is true
but he wouldnt be baptized so we taught and he showed us his desire to
follow the comandments of God so then me and elder Dariagan were
prompted to read from 2 Nephi 31 verses 10 and 11 and in the end he
commited to being baptized but not yet so cool and he came to church on
sunday so cool then we taught the young mens president who has gone
inactive his family all moved to Cebu and left him behind to finish
college so he is kind of lonely but i have been wanting to teach him
about the Oath and Covenent of the preisthood in D&C 84 and in verse
51 it says he who breaks this covenant will not receive forgiveness in
this life or in the life to come and when he read that he sat back in
his chair and just said ouch and we invited him to start fullfulling his
priesthood calling and offered help when needed and he slept in on
sunday but still made it on time for him to teach sunday school and
attend sacrament meeting he is going to be awesome i just hope he can
keep going and continue giving time to the Lord everyday of his life no
matter how small but then thursday was interviews with president Andaya
so cool it was a little bit different usually he checks our planners and
area books and everything but he started to and then we just kind of
started talking it was really nice just to sit down and have a one on
one conversation with president about my trainee and about the things i
am doing to help organize the branch and it made things really nice he
took notes and it was just amazing to see how much he wants to help even
though i know he is super busy all the time then we havent done much
because i have been sick and not sure what was wrong but all i know is i
had absolutely no energy to do anything it was difficult for me to walk
from the apartment to the road to catch a ride to our area so we didnt
do much but my district is doing amazing and its just going to keep
getting better sometimes ill be sitting and just be prompted to start
writing and im not sure why and it always seems to be questions this
last time i was in fast and testimony meeting not sure what these
questions are for but here they are
1. What is the importance of love if you yourself dont want to love?
2. What does Jesus see in our future?
#. How do we see that future and make it a reality?
4.Why do we not always understand the nesecities of life?
5.How do we truely give everything to the Lord?
6.Why are we forgiven?
7.Why doesnt everyone have a desire to be forgiven?
8.How do we help people gain that desire if the don't feel remorse?
9.How do we feel remorse?
10.What feelings are needed in order to gain a stronger faith?
11.How do we truely love the Lord?
some
of these i know the answer to but others not really but i figure they
are always something we should ask ourselves as servants of the Lord so i
just hope to be able apply them to my work some how not sure yet but if
you feel like you dont know the answers to all of these maybe do a
little studying and see what the lord has waiting for you its always fun
to start studies with a question in mind
Well i have a question for all of you if you have an answer for me
we constantly see in the Book of Mormom the people being righteous and
then becoming wicked and prideful after the blessings come so i was
reading in Helaman chapter 3 and it starts happening within like a few
years but then in Alma 62 the people are blessed and dont become
prideful why do some people become prideful so fast and forget the lord
while others dont and how do we prevent this from happening to the
people we teach as missionaries?just send me an email if you think you
can help me out a little bit. well i love you all and i can promise you
that i pray for you everyday its amazing what happens to the work when
your prayers are specific and have names its so cool i love missionary
life so much.
