Tue. Dec 4, 2018 Journal entry:
Christmas time is coming! “It’s practically here!” –said in Grinch voice- I just finished eating breakfast, we are listening to some Christmas music, and it’s Summer! Man, sometimes this all just seems so crazy still! I’m excited this Christmas to focus 100% on my Savior Jesus Christ and draw closer to Him!
Fri. Dec 7, 2018 Journal entry:
This phase of my mission has been pretty hard at times, really hard at times, but I’ve never been closer to my Savior Jesus Christ, never in my life. I LOVE personal study, companionship study as well. As missionaries we try to set citas (appointments) with people to teach, if you are prepared spiritually and physically in the morning, and you come to personal study with a desire to learn, personal study is your cita with the Lord every day. He is willing to teach me! I love, love the Book of Mormon. Even though I’m reading in Spanish, I’m learning a ton and understand almost everything! I love Preach My Gospel as well. That book is 100% inspired my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
This morning we were 100% guided by the spirit. A lady we contacted in the street did the kiss on the cheek thing to Elder Fuentes and he didn’t say anything, but I was really trying to stay obedient and maintain the spirit so I rejected her! I think she was pretty upset hahaha “no me vas a hacer el amor si me das un beso!” –crazy lady in street. I’m not going to translate that into English haha, but afterward, the Lord put one of our investigators (who won’t share her phone info with us) in our path again!!! We were walking and BOOM! There she was and we were able to set another cita with her! Que bendiciones! (what blessings!)
Today P-Day:
This week was really good! I finished up 12 semañas (weeks) this week, and I honestly really enjoyed it. It is kinda crazy that my training has come to and end. I really have grown a ton in these first two transfers. I have grown so, so much closer to my Heavenly Father. I haven't had a baptism yet!, and sometimes it has been super frustrating because there are days where we don't have citas (appointments), so we contact and try to talk with everyone. I am trying to share this gospel that I love and sometimes it seems like no one cares at all. I have had to humble myself so much and learn to rely 100% on the Lord and on the Spirit. I have learned a monton (mountain) about faith and have really tried to grow my own. I have learned so so much and come to appreciate so much more the Atonement and the power of it. I have never needed the Atonement in my life more than I need it now. I need it to change, change my thoughts to be more focused, change my desires to want to talk to people, change myself in general to be the missionary the Lord wants me to be.
My mission, at some points, has been very hard, but I have never in my life been closer to my Savior Jesus Christ. I have never in my life felt the Spirit as often as I do out here in the mission. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve him.
I had to do trametes (process of applying for Visas) this morning, which was fairly smooth compared to last time, so the whole day has been completely whack. Afterward, we all (Me, Fuentes y Drummond, Harris) bought jerseys at this mall type place. I took some pics of my journal so yall have more to read, hopefully they have time to load, I took a bunch of videos this week too so that is a blessing.
The package isn’t here yet but Elder Harris said his parents sent him a package and it isn’t here tampoco entonces (either, so) I’m not too worried. I’ll get it at zone conference. We get transfer calls tonight so I’ll let you guys know what happened next week. Love you guys. More details next week!
