Wednesday. Arrived at the apartment with my new comps (I'm in a trio) and well we are living where elders lived so we did some cleaning. We found a saw in the apartment?? We walked a lot and then met our mission leader.
Thursday. We met an old investigator who is GOLDEN. Her son was baptized but she couldn't because she isn't married to her boyfriend. But the Elders couldn't come over any more because her boyfriend told her they weren't allowed. But she is so amazing, Her name is Marcia and her sons´ names are Javier and Maxi. I love them. Then we visited a recent convert\less active. She is super sweet and her husband has a baptismal date! So pray for Leandro and Susana.
Friday.We had a family home evening as a ward and Marcia and her sons came! It was about family history and they loved it. It was a lot of fun.
Saturday. We had a cita with Soledad and Marcelo. They were telling us about their past and it was really humbling. I am so blessed. I have a great family, a nice house, and over all a great life but most importantly I have the gospel. It is the gospel that brings us happiness.
Sunday. We had church. Our ward is Nuevo Amanacer in the stake Alicahue. We are a small ward. About 50. There is a lot of work to do but we are so excited. We found some new investigators and they gave us bread!
Monday. We had zone class. A dog kind of bit me... (don't worry mom, I'm fine) We visited a less active by chance. We actually were looking for an investigator and contacted a lady in a house and she told us to pass to her neighbor´s house. They were very excited to see us. We ate some watermelon with them.
Tuesday. Relaxed and I bought new shoes.
What I learned this week?
We have to have more than desires, we have to ACT on the desires we have. We need to be consecrated. That is my goal. To be less selfish and serve with all of my heart. I invite you all to do the same.
Love, Hermana Showalter
