ONLY 5 MORE WEEKS! Oh my gosh i am sooooo stressed out haha you dont even know!
Anyways.... This week was rough haha. First off my companion. Actually she is really great :) She is super nice and patient and we have been getting along really well. She is pretty shy in group settings so its hard to talk to other missionaries haha but shes fun :) The only thing is, is she is kind of lazy, which is kinda frusturating. I am always having to drag her out the door... But other than that everythings good. She is not why it has been a rough week. For some reason this week NO ONE HAS BEEN HOME! It was kinda ridiculous! We went around to everyone we had appointments with, all our investigators, less actives, converts, and NO ONE WAS HOME! It was actully super weird. It was kind of discouraging but thats okay. We did do a lot of walking :)
We did find a new investigator yesterday and he is awesome! His name is Alan. He lives pretty close to us and drive a mototaxi. Thats how we got to know him. We were able to teach him about the restoration yesterday and we could really see that it got him thinking. It was awesome :) He is super anxious to read the Book of Mormon and really wants to know the truth. We have very high hopes for him.
I was also SUPER frustrated at our ward this week. So once a transfer we do an ´´invasion´´ where all the missionaries from one stake go to one ward and we all go out looking for references and less actives. Finally it was our ward's turn. So usually there are a bunch of ward members to come help out because the other missionaries dont know the area. Butttttt, NO ONE FROM OUR WARD SHOWED UP! Only the bishop was there and about 24 missionaries that had no idea where to go. So pretty much they went out on their own and we got nothing done. Invasions are such good oppertunities to find new people but we wasted ours! I was soooooo frustruated. Yesterday in Sacrament meeting the bishop pretty much burned everyone but it doesnt help. Without members, missionary work is sooo hard. I wish they would understand that! But i guess we just have to have patience right?
Also the new Easter iniative came out! #ALELUYA Go on lds.org and share it with EVERYONE! It is such a good oppertunity to have missionary experiences so do it! Please :)
In my studies this week i was reading in Mosiah and I came across some things that really inspired me. I was reading in King Benjamins speech and he tells us what we need to do to have real happiness. And the thing is, its all soooo simple! We just have to help others and be obedient. I especially liked Mosiah 4: 11-12. If you get some time go read it :)
Well, that is about it for my week. I am hoping that this week will go a lot better. I only have 5 more of them so i got to make the best of it right? :) Also mother, here are some things you could start getting to bring here!
Nerf footballs (american footballs dont exist here)
