Wow, that temple day sounds pretty crazy and how you found a couple of sisters that are going there. That is sweet. Ya, I still remember the first time going through and I had absolutely no idea what was going on. A thought just came to my head that Anna needs to go to the Manti temple. I loved the veil room, it is ballin.
Well, our zone is one of the youngest zones out here. Only the zone leaders have more than a year. They are doing a program in our zone that they are not doing in any other in the mission. It’s like a leadership thing of how we can be more obedient and how we can teach with more power. I have so many things I need to work on its unreal. I still struggle to explain myself in the lessons sometimes but I know it will come little by little and I have my companion there to help me out.
Wow, but one thing our pres said to us is that we give them the baptismal challenge in the second lesson because we are looking for the people who are prepared. Alma
Sorry mom, I can’t send pictures until I get my chord because this cyber café doesn’t have a place where I can put my card in….. but they are coming don’t worry.
Well, this week was alright but there are so many little things that I have to do. We found a few new people who I think are really interested because my comp didn’t leave me much. We found a family that had already had the lessons but they moved and never went back to church and were going to get baptized. But we have to get them married. Oh my gosh, I think I am changing my profession to wedding planner. That is the problem with just about every single person there, it is unreal. Either they are not married or they work on Sunday and cant go to church. But I know there are people in our area that are prepared and it is their time. All we have to do is find them. Every missionary in the mission fasted for that purpose. To find the people who are chosen right now in our areas. And every missionary was kneeling down at 7 on Sunday morning praying for that. Well some missionaries were. My comp likes to sleep….. if you catch my drift but I am going to crack down on him, not in a bad way, but so that we can have the Spirit with us. Because if we are not obedient to these rules, how is he going to bless us with people in our area? But I am pretty pumped. We set some high goals as a zone because our zone leaders and the pres want us to become leaders later on in the mission. So we are giving it all we have right not.
Mike and dad, how did you feel when you got moved up the senior comp??? I think you already told me dad, that you didn’t speak the language at all, that’s exactly how I feel…
Well you can call me Daniel. I sleep in a lions den. What do I mean by that? My comp literally snores like a lion. I am not even kidding and it is the loudest thing you will ever hear in your entire life. I am going to make a tape over a couple of weeks and I will record it one night. It is unreal.
I feel so humbled to be in this position of senor comp but I know I am here for a reason. And I know I am not alone. The Lord will prepare a way for me to do all that I need to do if I am obedient.
Anna, take advantage of the temple while you can. I really would go every day because of the feeling that is there. You can’t get any closer to heaven than when you are in the temple. We still can’t go and I don’t know how often you will be able to, it is different in every mission.
I think I got another package from Christmas that finally came here. But I really am loving the mission and learn so much. You learn so much about yourself and really what you are made of. There are those missionaries who talk a lot, or they say that they should do this and that, then there are those that do. There are those that are examples for others. I am trying to be that one that does what I know is right. In chapter one of PMG, there is a part that talks about a missionary of success. The first thing it says is, don’t compare yourself to other missionaries. That is a hard thing for me to do. I compare myself sometimes to where others are at with their language and their knowledge. But really that’s not how it should be. Focus on yourself and how you are progressing spiritually and physically. Some grow faster than others and for some it takes time. More than your prayers for me, pray for those that don’t know this gospel. Alma
Well, I am feeling alright being senior comp and all right now but we will see how it goes this week. I love you all so much and for your examples. You all make me want to become better. You all show so much confidence in me and this helps me become the person that the Lord wants me to be. I love seeing how the Lord works. He puts certain people around you and certain situations to form who he wants you to be. It is so amazing. Keep on keepin’ on. I will send pics when I get the cord.
Cuidense mucho!!!
