Well today´s been an interesting
P-Day. We had flu shots this morning so now my arm is hurting. Then to add
insult upon injury to the same arm, while Hna Pelico and I were walking in the
Guaymas Centro (Main Street) a bird pooped on my arm. Yes, POOPED ON MY
ARM!
The good thing about this day is our
investigator, Raul, was cleared for baptism this Saturday!! YAY! It´s been
amazing seeing this investigator´s progress. He really has a desire to follow
the Savior a receive a remission of his sins.
This week has been a really beautiful
yet really hard week. My comp and I set a bunch of goals for this transfer and
we´ve been working really hard to better our obedience and work methods. Of
course, Satan knows about our desires to do better and reach these goals too so
we´ve been extra attacked by his forces. I don´t think I´ve had a week in which
I´ve faced more rejection but in every moment that I feel discouraged I think
of Alma 26:27 (¨And when our hearts were depressed and we were about to turn
back...).
Something that I found really
interesting about the rejection this week was that it was always after
we faced lots of it yet kept working and trusting that the Lord was guiding us
to people who are more prepared to hear this message that we saw something
rewarding (i.e. someone accepting us in their house or giving us their address,
etc.). This made me think about the scripture in Ether 12 that tells us it is after
our faith is tried that we receive.
Also, this week we had a worldwide
conference that was super cool! The speakers focused on bringing others to
repentance and how we can do this in our teachings. It was weird seeing some of
the missionaries from the States that have iPads. What the WHAT!! No fair! But
I guess it would be thoroughly ridiculous to have iPads in my mission because
the probability of being robbed is quite a bit higher. Also it was fun singing
hymns in English.
That´s all for this week, folks. Take
care!
Con amor,
Hermana Hauck
