This week has been a crazy week and I am not sure where to start. Well this week I got a call from Presidente on Saturday saying that Elder Butler and I would be receiving our own comps and that I would be now just working Volcanes. My new comp is Elder Portillo. He is from Torreo and we will be working together but who knows for how long because it seems like I have a comp for a week and then they change him on me jajaj. I have had 4 comps this cycle and I think I might have broken or tied a mission record jajaja. I am looking forward though to working with Elder Portillo and seeing what we can find here in Volcanes!
Well this week Elder Butler and I are were working both San Buena and Volcanes and we were pretty tired at nights jajaj from going all over the place but it also felt so nice to get home and just lay down and write about what happened in the day. The only day that I was not the most excited to get home was Friday jajaj. Well Elder Butler and I had a lesson in San Buena a las 7:30 and the whole time we were in the lesson we could here it raining hard! Well when we finished the lesson and went to go outside nos dimos cuenta that the place was flooded. We waited and waited and waited like 30 min for the agua to go down but it wouldn`t and it was getting late and Elder Butler and I had to walk all the way up to the house. We decided that we needed to go and we were going to get wet no matter what so we took off the shoes and headed up. Holy cow there was a ton of water and it got up pretty high on us. I know that we can`t swim as missionaries but I felt like I was pretty close to doing it jajajaj. We finally got a taxi and they took us up, we tried calling one to pick us up at the house but there was to much water for the taxi to get through. It will definitely be something that I will remember and I even took a picture jajaja.
Well this week we had a lesson with a familia on the natural man it was actually with investigadores and they kept asking us why things are so hard when they are trying to get closer to Heavenly Father. We talked to them that for them to get on the right path you need to face a little bit of difficulty that the things are just earned without working. That is something that I have learned a lot from my mom jajj and it is so true. We told them that the only way to get on the correct path is through there efforts, If we are willing to work hard the Lord is willing to work even harder. He cares for us so much and wants us to get to his presence but it just depends in how willing we are. If we are willing to fight and do our part that the Lord wants us to do then we will get to the end. We are a team and if we don`t work hard we won`t win but if we work together there are so many blessings waiting for us! Keep pushing on and you will see the blessings hold on to the iron rod and keep looking forward because there are people that you want to let go. Recognize who you are and the potential you can have if you just do you parte. Don`t be scared to be different and open your mouth to los demas because there are people that need your help and really want to grab on they are just scared! Hope all is well back home and that you have a great week!
