What happened this week:
Mon:
We had an awesome activity. We went to a members property up a
mountain. We back-trail hiked though a jungle mountain. It was so fun.
We were climbing up vines and just doing all this crazy stuff. It was a
blast. And the view at the top was nice too. Then we hiked back down. We
then had a budol fight. Which is the but banana leafs on a table and
then just but the rice down and the food and we just eat it with no
plates and with our hands. It was quite the experience. I felt very into
the culture that day.
Tues: We tried to find and mostly got punted but we still worked as hard as we could. Sometimes there are just those days.
Wed:
We were able to teach our investigator JR. We had the bishop and one of
his counselors came with us. He is so excited for his baptism. I was
super glad that the members were willing to work with us and come help
teach JR
Thus: Normal work day :)
Fri: Ok so this
day was kind of crazy. The culture here is they really celebrate Easter
week, but not the way you would think. This week was semana santa. Or
saints week. SO they had whats called a procession this week. This night
was like a ghost town because most of the people here are catholic and
so they were at this procession. Even some of our less actives went. We
were able to go to the stake presidents house and he drove us home after
so we got to see some of their worship take place. It was very
interesting to me and very eye opening.
Sat: JR had his baptismal interview and passed!!!
Sun: we went to church and it was a pretty normal Sunday with only 1 meeting :)
As
I was doing my personal study this week. I was reading about being a
true disciple of Christ. I read in the conference liahona "True
disciples of Christ are not looking to make excuses for the doctrine
when it doesn't fit the world's current concepts.... True disciples
represent the Lord when it may not be convenient to do so. True
disciples desire to inspire the hearts of men. Elder Gregory Schwitzer."
It reminded me that we as members of the Church can never follow the
world standards. Because they aren't Gods standards. We need to stand
for something better and be strong in our faith. I am loving being a
disciple of Jesus Christ. I love being his missionary and teaching his
gospel to anyone that will listen to us. I hope to keep working as hard
as I can right until the end. I hope you all had a good week. I love you
all. Talk to you next week.
