¡Hola mis amigos!

¿Cómo le vá?

 

Hello from white white Canada. It has been snowing a lot lately but managed to stay at a good temperature. Haven't really had to wear a jacket because the snow is fluffy. We have been shoveling a lot of snow and people love to see the Elders working to clear their snow.

 

This week was a little hectic. We had to get a new tire because we were turning and slid into the curb. It was a little scary but we were totally fine. It did take a while to get everything fixed, but it's all back to normal. We had combined Zone conference on Wednesday and Interviews with President Campbell on Thursday. Zone Conference was really good and you always learn a lot from other missionaries. President talked a lot about raising our goals in every aspect of the work. He is always helping us see progress but is always looking for more as well. We are now not only making weekly goals, but also monthly goals to help the progression keep going. But it really opened our eyes at all the potential we really have if we trust in the Lord. One thing that I also liked was that he expressed his love for us. You can really see his concern and true Christlike love for us. But the lunch was really good. It was like a Cafe Rio sweet pork burrito. The Best!! (ha ha dad) We then listened to a talk by Elder Bednar to the new mission presidents. He talked about "How to Become a Preach My Gospel Missionary". It really inspired me to try harder and make personal goals to become the missionary my Savior wants me to become. I recommend it if you have time.

 

We were not able to meet with any of our investigators last week, but we are meeting with them all this week. We met with Hermana Delafuente and helped her move a bunch of stuff around her house because she is moving soon. She made us brunch. She hass to be one of the best cooks I have met out here. We got asked to help with a move on Saterday night of a return missionary from Ecaudor. He was moving his sisters friend who was in a bind and needed our help. His sister is less active. It was a great success for missionary work because 6 missionaries showed up to help and she came to church the next day! It really is amazing how much service really does help people. Hopefully her friend will also find an interest in the gospel. Last night some of our appointments cancelled so we went street contacting. I love going out on the street and talking to peoeple. It is fun to do because you always meet all kinds of different people. Be Strong and Keep the Faith.

 

Mucho Amor,
