WE NEED TO BE ANXIOUSLY ENGAGED IN A GOOD WORK.

hola mami,

 

sooooo. this wasnt the best week ever. mainly because we saw saturday sessions of conference in a ciber with a bunch of kids everywhere yelling and screaming where we couldnt feel the spirit. and sunday, we didnt see any of the sessions due to bad preparation here in bolivar on part of the branch presidency. they hadnt prepared the internet to stream it live and thus noone watched it here. plus we only got half of the priesthood session. which i thought was still awesome but got up til president eyring´s talk. so it could´ve been better. but hey, i am not going to complain. hopefully i get to see them soon. hopefully. as for investigators, we taught a new lady who lost her husband tow years ago. she is about 72 years old. she doesnt retain much though. but other than that, nothing. we are giving up on L. we cant seem to find him. we had an appt with a new lady as well. she turned out to be a dud as well. she was super awesome the first time we talked with her but when we went back, she was a total jerk. i have been thinking a lot about some things. we need to stop using our carnal eyes and start seeing things/trying to see things as God sees them. we cant judge anything without knowing everything, God can because he knows all. he also is the person who knows the best way to help us. he is the first source we should go to for help, then our priesthood leaders and we cant ever forget to do things. we cant sit still. we need to be anxiously engaged in a good work. its just like said in conference, i believe in priesthood session. we really cant be idle. being idle even condemns us because we didnt choose to do good. as a misssionary, God is always testing us. he is always seeing what we will do in certain situations. thus we need to do good always.

 

we talked with a less active member last weekend. he is very less active. he is into drugs and just super lost right now. in our visit with him, we ranged from the restoration to the plan of salvation to the word of wisdom. he tried to convince us marijuana is good for us jaja. but we left him a chapter to read in alma 32. he is feeling like he lacks faith. but i think we can get him back, he just needs to stop with his addiction to prescription drugs. but other than that mom, i got nothing to tell ya. thanks for your email! i hope you keep on keeping on! love you!
