Well the song "Forever
Young" is playing in our Cyber right now and it's describing how I feel
right now hahaha I want to be forever young aka 19 years old so I can be a
missionary foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr because I am so happy!!!
This week was a little
crazy, we didn't have a lot of time to work because strep throat, interviews
with President, traveling, and just crazy. But when we did get to work it was
so great! I used to be stressed about having high numbers every week when our
district leader called us but I stopped worrying about that and I worry a lot
more about people and it's literally changed my whole mission, I enjoy it so.
much. more.
We had to drop a few
of our investigators this week and that is always way sad :( We dropped a girl
named Viviana this week...actually her Catholic Gma dropped us jajaja she
doesn't like the Mormons so that was sad. Then we dropped another investigator
Marcelo that was seriously so close to being baptized, he came to church a
couple times and was really progressing but he got offended by our mission
rules and that we can't visit men alone without another woman and now he wants
nothing to do with the church....both way sad but I am not discouraged! My
perspective this week has been really changed! We have to drop people sometimes
but there are always more waiting for us, and so so many miracles :) :)
I had a really cool
experience this week, we did divisions with some of our Hermanas and one of
them was a local missionary from my second area. I was with her for the day and
at night she really opened up to me and talked to me about how she was deciding
whether she should go on a mission or not. I told her to really talk to the
Lord about it but I also obviously told her how incredible the mission is and
that if she can she should! We talked a lot and then I didn't really think a
lot about it after. But I saw her this week at an activity here for the youth
and she told me that she is starting her papers now!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy
for her! Idk, she just feels like a sister to me and her family really took
care of me and it's just small things like that that bring the biggest joys
here!
I've just been so
happy this week! I feel so good having the spirit and being able to have such a
clear vision about who I am and my purpose in life. In my interview with my
President this week he talked to me about using the mission to receive as much
personal revelation as I could. He told me the mission is like the temple and
it's the best place to receive revelation about things right now and my life
after the mission. It seems so far away but I know that it's coming and I used
this week to think a lot about what I want to do and who I want to be. Not in a
trunky "I want to come home" way but to really receive guidance and
it has been such an incredible week for me!
I love being a
missionary and I love having the spirit with me so much all the time! I always
feel good! So do what you can every day to have the Spirit with you!
