Hello
everyone!!! This week has flown by, yet at the same time it feels like an
eternity. Time is a weird thing isn't it? We had zone conference last
Wednesday, and it was incredible, it answered questions that I didn't even know
I needed answered. In conference, we talked a lot about diligence and it just
helped me have that excitement needed for the work. It was also very emotional,
President wrote us a song (he writes songs for us frequently) and it was the
cutest thing, he barely even got through singing it because he was so
emotional. The Daytons are incredible people and I am so grateful for all they
have done for me and for this entire mission. They are such incredible examples
of true Christ like love for everyone.
This week we were traveling quite a bit in our area and on Thursday I had an intercambio (exchange) with Hermana Muñoz. She lives with us so no traveling was required. She is from Cali, Colombia and I love her with all my heart. I loved the way she looked at finding those on the street, she would look at someone and say "futuro sacerdocio" (future priesthood holder) or "futuro sociedad de socorro" (future member of relief society). This was such a better way of looking at things. As we talked to them with that in mind, it made me feel that we really were here building up the kingdom of God. And if the person didn't accept out invitation, we planted a seed for the next missionaries that would come along. :) I love seeing how the spirit guides us everyday, when you contact 5 people in a row who have already met with the missionaries, you have to realize that you were guided right to those people!!!
Our teaching pool has disappeared... almost completely. So we've been having to be out finding new people, working with members, etc. Yesterday I was feeling a bit low because none of our friends made it to church. I sat down with my companion and asked her how we could feel more Joy in the work. We wrote a list of times we've felt joy and we came to a conclusion that the way to feel that joy is to be grateful for all that is around you. There are always little miracles every single day. As we noticed those throughout the day we were able to enjoy so much more. I also love looking at the word Joy like this:
J- Jesus Christ
O- others
Y- yourself
Love you all!!!!
