Hey Friends and Family-
Well, I am still here in
Cameron for another transfer. This will be my 3rd transfer here. This week we had one
appointment.. yes, ONE. We spent most of our time tracking, and trying to talk
to whoever we could. Seems like we couldn't get a hold of any of our
investigators and couldn't get any appointments. We were scrambling to find
people to talk too and share the gospel with. We talked to many, but few were
interested or wanted to listen. We kept going, kept talking, kept testifying,
not much success. Made for some long and discouraging days but we made it
through! This is missionary life!
Funny story actually, Sister Monzano is a member who loves us so much, and we had her for dinner. She
started asking us how the work was going and I think she sensed we were a bit
discouraged, so we had a great talk and lesson with her. It was almost like she
was teaching us! We left feeling edified and ready to keep going.. and we
walked out to our car to find an EGG splattered all over our windshield. Yes,
someone threw an egg at us. And it was beginning to cook on the mission car, at
this point we were so done with this week, so we could either laugh or cry. We
chose to laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Then we prayed for them. haha! I
thought, if your going to throw an egg at me, that's fine, but you forget the
bread and salt and pepper.
If I learned one thing this
week, is that we cannot afford to give up on the savior, he never gave up on
us. and he never will. Isn't it interesting how that works? the hard days and
the hard times come when we have the open heart, that is when we can truly
learn about Jesus Christ. How close he really is, how much he really suffered,
and how much he really loves us, if we just endure to the end. If I didn't know
that, if I didn't know with all my heart this gospel is true and how much it can
bless our lives, this mission would never be worth it. So I am grateful to be a
representative of my Savior. He knows us one by one.
I love you all! have a great week.
