Hey Familia!
Còmo està?
I
first want to let you know that I have been praying for you to get this new
job! I think it would be a great change for you!!!! It is too bad to hear that
Peighton and her team didn`t play too good in the Semi-Finals, but I am glad
that they were able to pull their head`s out and make it a good season!
It is so amazing how the
Lord works. That part of my setting apart blessing explains my thought process
exactly with things right now. It is so weird how things like that happen, and
I would love if you could get me that full blessing. Oh, and guess what, today is my 2-month
date!!!! October 24!!! I can`t believe that!!!! It has flown by!
I am feeling so much
better. Back to normal. I feel just fine now! Which I am so happy about because
now I can work again!!! Which is exactly what we did this week. We worked our
butts off! We contacted a lot, and had a lot of visits with our investigators.
Also, on Thursday, we did splits with another companionship, and I didn`t
really like that experience. First of all, I went to their area, so it was all
new to me. Also, every single one of the visits they had planned fell
through... All within a matter of about 15 minutes, so from 4:30 to 9:30,
literally, we contacted the entire day, and didn`t talk to anybody. The entire
day we talked to maybe 5 people after knocking on at least over 50 doors. It
was pretty rough. It`s hard sometimes, because all I want to do is teach
people, but they just aren`t accepting us. It`s hard, but it is such an amazing
experience. But oh well. It was pretty
cool to see their area. Then Friday and Saturday
were full of visits and contacts, and Sunday we went to church, and visited member families, because it is not a good day at all to go contacting
or anything like that.
Then today, for a zone activity, we went to a place
called Chicabal. It`s a Mayan lagoon, at the top of a volcano. We walked around
it, and back in the trees and things were weird alters, and Mayan sacrifice grounds
all over the place, I will try to send pictures. (About that, I have been
sending them with just email because I can`t find anywhere to send with WiFi. I
will try it next week because it costs to get their password and I just haven`t
bought it yet, so I will do it next week.) But Chicabal was a really awesome
experience, and I was glad to go there today and see it! If you swam in the
water they would literally try to burn you alive if you did anything that made
them mad, because it is sacred Mayan land. Creepy stuff, but awesome to see
that place!!!!!
It was a week full of
contacting, and not being let into people`s houses. Anyways, contacting is
rough, but it gives me practice with my Spanish. I can experiment with different
things to say, and it`s fun, just a little hard at times, but, it will come, I
know it will. Also, a lot of visits are with our investigators. They are all so
amazing!!!
Brenda is awesome, she
is 22 and she has a date for the 5th of November, and it is almost a for sure
thing, so in 2 weeks!!! Then there is Paty, Indira, Edna, Maria Renè, and
Michele. Paty and Indira are sisters, and Edna is the best friend of both of
them. Then Maria is the daughter of Indira and Michele is the best friend of
Maria, but lives with them because her parents are drunk and don`t support her.
They are all awesome, and Paty is almost positively being baptized this
Saturday, and if she gets baptized, it is almost for sure that Indira will
follow, and if Indira gets baptized, it`s almost positive that Edna, Maria, and
Michele will follow her. We have a really good line up going! I am so excited
to see what comes from this, but yes, I love our investigators. They are
awesome! Estuardo has kind of stopped taking lessons, but we always talk with
him when we see him. So keep your eyes open for some baptism moments and
pictures!!!!!!
1. PEAK MOMENT: Going to Chicabal today. That was
amazing!!!!! It was so cool to see that place!!!
2. PIT MOMENT: Paty changing her date from this past Saturday
to the 29th, but it should be good!
3. WHAT TO PRAY
FOR: Please pray especially for Paty
that she can get her answer that this is correct and that she will know what
she needs to do, that will help so much!
4. A SCRIPTURE TO READ:
1 Nephi 4:6 talks about how we need to follow the spirit, even if we don`t know
what we are getting into, just to trust and rely in the Lord. I think that
could get some good discussions going.
Well, I am so glad that
everything is going good back at home, and I hope everyone recovers quickly from
surgery? I can`t believe you broke your nose now, Dad?!
That`s nuts! At least noses are pretty easy to heal from though.I love you all
so much and miss you all! I hope your interview goes great and I will be
praying for you!!!!
I love you all!
Elder Harward
