Hello everyone,
Really there is little
to report this week that went by. There was a bit of an adventure that we had
on Thursday. So Elder Martinez and I had to go to a religious convention while
our Mission President was talking. We were going to act something like the APs
so that he could have some help if he needed anything done. We got to the
school and we set up a cool table with some materials about the church with
lots of pictures about the family. It was actually looking to turn out super
awesome. The main portion of the convention had just ended and now came the
time when the people could go where they wanted to go and listen about a few of
the presentations. There was us, One about the Coran, One about the Toran, One
about the Bible, and another crazy set of scriptures that I had never even
heard of. It was like some sort of flower child group that was based on God and
the Nature of the earth. It was really weird. hahaha but when all the people
started coming our way my comp just couldn’t take it anymore. He had had a
slight fever with diarrhea and nausea. When all the people started walking our
way my companion just started throwing up. He looked totally miserable. So what
happened after that was that the president and I took my companion to a
doctor’s office and we started figuring out what was wrong with him. To find
out that he has Bronchitis. Well dang. The doctors said that he would have to
rest for up to 4 days without any activity at all. Well that really isn´t what
I as a missionary was wanting to hear. For the last 4 or 5 days I have been in
the house reading my scriptures and Preach My Gospel, while taking care of
Elder Martinez. A few days ago I was thinking that the Lord probably got him
sick so that I would learn to love more and to give more service because right
now my comp doesn´t even have the strength to get out of bed. It was a little
rough for me at first because I am trying to make sure that our investigators
can still keep progressing even though I am not visiting them and that they
don´t lose their excitement to get baptized as well as I was trying to keep the
Zone running by myself and make sure that we finish the month out strong with
lots of baptisms. It was very very taxing on me emotionally. I learned that I
can´t do it all by myself. I have to do all I can and then learn to rely on the
Lord. So that’s what I did. I make phone calls to all our recent coverts and
investigators to make sure that they went to church. We got 3 people in church
and all of our recent converts went as well. Wow it was a huge miracle. I
offered a very very long prayer of gratitude after hearing that they had gone.
I know that it was a blessing of the Lord and that I needed to continue to show
my faith through the small actions that I can do. I know that its the Lords work
and that He will make up for what we can´t do physically if we have the faith
to believe. Other than that I am doing good. Just lots of meditating and
receiving of revelation as to what we can do to find more “news”. I love you
all and hope you have a super awesome fantastic week.
