Ok- this week we had a tons of good lessons and met a bunch of
people really interested. They all were super excited about church and
the Book of Mormon and everything, and when Sunday
rolled around, almost nobody came! It´s really frustrating because I
WANT to trust them, but I can´t. Yet again, I´m reminded to trust 100%
in the Lord (but not in man.)
Our difficulty this week was that all our possibilities for baptism are available to be taught after 6h30 at night- so we would spend our days finding and teaching, then once 6h30
hit, we used whatever energy is left to run all around our half of
Sarandi teaching our possibilities the commandments. And then we ended
up cutting 2 of them- (not progressing and going to church for the wrong
reasons.)
Thursday
we had an activity at the church- integration night! It turned out
really great! We had a bunch of member, new converts, and investigators
too. Basically the bishop gave a short spiritual message, then we, the
missionaries, took charge with the activities (which was a little
stressful because as consequeces of a life of a missionary, you have
ZERO extra time.) We had a couple of games, but the best one of all was
this:
Everyone is sitting in a circle in chairs minus 2 people who are
standing. They say something and if it applies to you, you have to move.
(Like everyone wearing tennis shoes) But the 2 people left standing
have to go to a table and dip their faces in water then dig for candy in a
plate full of flour. Everyone loved it, and then at the end, we
missionaries were pressured to do it too. (I´ll send photos.)
Friday
we had interviews with President Genaro! He is really great and I know
he is inspired and called of God. He gives wonderful advice and I am
constantly learning about obedience. Like I know that if I do as he
says, I will be blessed and also, avoid lots of harmful situations. The
same thing with our Heavenly Father and his commandments. 2 Néfi 2:41
Love you all!
