"I Just Need to be Patient"

Mon, Oct 22, 2018

This is Elder Morel’s last week. I’ll most likely be receiving a new trainer here in Belgrano, but you never know! hahaha

President told me he spoke with Pres. Bell and let him know what was going on with all of my transfers and different companions! I have 110% faith that everything that has happened has been the will of the Lord. I have been able to see his hand very clearly in my mission progress. I don’t know exactly what he has prepared for the future, but whatever it is, he is making sure I’m ready.

Dear Great Grandpa! Hey you old guy! Thanks for thinking about me and making sure that all those crazy grandkids stay in line. I love you and will be sure to climb up in a few trees for you. Love you Grandpa Harold!

Wow that is super weird that its fall there! Hahaha, I forgot. The weather has been very back and forth here. One day it’s super sunny and hot and the next day we are wearing sweaters! It is warming up though.

Holy crap!! Madi and Tanner are getting married, wow that’s crazy! Tell them I am super happy for them and wish them the best! That is wild.

The Jackmans are super nice. It was so fun to go over and be with them for a little bit. Her brownies were so good and we only talked in English!! I sent a pic of us with them. But yes, it was crazy being with English speakers and at the same time kinda hard though just because I feel like I could be an amazing missionary, but first I have to learn Spanish to be able to communicate!!! After leaving though I realized how much of a blessing it is to be able to learn Spanish. I have always wanted to and now I am!! I just need to be patient and have confidence that the Lord will make me just as good of a missionary in Spanish as I could be in English.

Tell Ashley I personally say hello and tell her to make sure her sister Sarah stays in line.

Funny/crappy story:

We got a referral from the office this week and we called the lady and set an appointment to meet with her later that day!! Hahaha what a miracle!!! We were so excited to teach this new investigator. We showed up and started talking to her and treating her like an interested investigator only to figure out that she was born in the church and is an active member in our ward. She works in the Primary and usually sits in the back of the chapel in sacrament meeting so Elder Morel hadn’t noticed her before. So that was pretty embarrassing. "So do you know much about the church?" "Have you ever heard of the Book of Mormon?" We definitely noticed her this week at church! hahahahahaha 

Visit our church building on Google maps. We walk everywhere, and I’m doing calf exercises every day so you know I’m going to come back with beautiful calves.

There is only like one family in our ward that lives in a house; everyone here lives in apartments, it’s crazy.  We have an investigator named Lucas that we taught our first lesson to last Monday. It was so awesome and the spirit for sure led the conversation. We have another appointment with him tonight.

Love you guys, talk to you next week!!
