I read Paul's talk and it sounded like it was amazing! Paul you have the right name man, because you are going to be an amazing missionary.
I want to start off by talking
about Pedro our recent convert. He's such a stud. He has such a strong
testimony and is so excited to share it with everyone. He is always
calling us asking when he can come with us on visits because he loves
sharing his testimony. One of our investigators told us that she feels a
lot more comfortable when he's there, because she feels like he
actually can relate to how she feels and what she is going through. It's
incredible to see how much he has changed in these past couple of
months that we've known him. It is so rewarding.
On Sunday one of the sisters in
the ward asked me and Elder Jimènez if we could help out with the Primary. The idea was that we were going to knock on their door and go
in and teach about Jesus like they were investigators. The only problem
is that the primary is only little girls age 6 and under. So when we got
in they were going crazy running around and screaming. So we grabbed
the picture book and asked questions about every picture with Jesus in
it. Their answers were hilarious. Afterwards, we asked who wanted to
serve a mission and they were all jumping off their chairs screaming
that they wanted to serve missions. It was so funny!
We have
an investigator named Luisa. She is honestly amazing. She has had cancer
for quite some time now but she has the best attitude I have ever seen.
I've been trying to have a positive attitude lately and she has
inspired a lot of it. But when we went to go talk to her yesterday she
was really sad. She started crying. She said that the only thing she can
look forward to is traveling and she get's one chance a year to do it.
But she has an appointment she can't miss the day that she was supposed
to go. She was telling us it doesn't sound like a big deal but it was
something so devastating for her. She didn't understand why she had to
go through this. I was thinking of a scripture that would give her
comfort and I remembered one of my favorites in Doctorine and Covenants.
D&C 50 40-42
40 Behold, ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
41 Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me;
I think if I can live remembering I will not be lost, and keep this positive thought in my mind always, I will almost naturally live this way.
I hope everybody has a wonderful week, I'll try to enjoy this hot weather for all of you! STAY POSITIVE!Elder Terry
