This week was farely uneventful. We kind of dropped all of our investigators because the ones that were progressing already got baptized and all the other ones just werent progressing and werent really interested so basically this entire week has just been a ton of contacting! And I wish that I could say that it has been amazing and we have found a ton of people to teach but so far nothing haha. So do your missionaries a favor and give them a ton of references because those are a million times better than contacting!
One awesome thing that happened is Nicolas got confirmed! We had his baptism on Sunday so he waited to get confirmed until yesterday and then got the priesthood the same day! We went to his house and he and his uncle had a ton of questions because they are both recent converts and they are working to go to the temple this Saturday to do baptisms and are so pumped! They started telling us a whole list of names they want to do the work for! One of the biggest joys you can experience as a missionary is not only seeing someone get baptized, but seeing them being converted more and more every day and just so excited to have found the true church. It is super awesome being a missionary! One of the only downsides is that I have gotten a little sick. Nothing too bad but it's just a little cold and I have been a little sick to my stomach the past couple days but it isn't anything I can't handle! It will pass soon and I will be back to business!
But yeah that is about it so I guess I will share something I was studying this week! We had a Zone Conference a couple weeks ago and in it we talking about faith and how even the smallest of faith can bring to pass the greatest of miracles! And I was thinking wow, if a little faith and bring to pass great miracles, what can a lot of faith do? So I determined that I need to have more faith, I want to have more faith so the Lord really can do his work through my hands, but how do I do that? I was studying on how I can grow my faith and I stumbled upon a quote that I absolutely love. Bruce R. McConkie once taught, ¨Faith is a gift of God bestowed as a reward for personal rightousness. It is always given when righteousness is present, and the greater the measure of obedience to God's laws, the greater will be the endowment of faith.¨
So basically gaining a stronger faith is super easy! It just takes being a little more obedientª Something I am trying and will continue to try to do is always be more obedient to the commandments of God and the rules of the mission because that is the best way to make my faith grow, and when my faith grows, I become a better missionary.
That was just a quick little thought I had while I was studying this past week that I wanted to share!
Oh and yesterday I met two random Americans who came to our ward so if yall get a random picture of me from a random number, they asked if I wanted them to send a picture to yall so yeah!
I hope everyone has an amazing week!!
LOVE YALL!!
Sorry still can't send pictures....
