This week was another really good week. This week Elder Bentley and I continued to look for new people para enseñar. We found some new people para enseñar and we continued with the investigadores that are progressing super well right now. The Familia Diaz Ramon, the family of 8 that we found are progressing super well and are working towards their goal for the 8th of Diciembre to be baptized. We played some soccer with their kids and it was pretty funny because they told me that I use to much of my body when I play soccer jajaj (oooops). Martin is progressing well too and we had a very cool experience with him this week as he is working hard for his goal and should be baptized on the 1st of December. Something that threw Elder Bentley off guard though is that Martin told us this week that he went to the doctor and the doctors told him that he has cancer and only has 4 more months to live. At this moment my heart dropped as I felt the love for him and tried to comprehend how he was feeling. The spirit hit me so strong when he told us ever since the doctors had told him he had been thinking about what to do and he told us that the changes he has seen his life through the Gospel that he is going to work towards his goal to be baptized. He told us that he was going to continue and put himself in the Lord´s hands. I know that the Lord will bless him in one or other forms.
This week we found out that Elder Bentley and I both have changes and we are both leaving here in Benito Juarez. We are both sad to leave all the people we have found and the work we have. I really enjoyed it here in Benito Juarez and am hoping for the best here in this barrio especially for all the work we have. I am really going to miss the amistades I made here and really hope that the work will continue. I am now in the barrio Tepelcates in the Estaca Oriental. You guys wouldn´t believe it but I am with Elder Alamea again jajajj. I am excited to work with him again and see what the Lord has prepared for us here in this area Tepelcates.
Up until this week here in Mexico I have never been cold but el Miércoles I was so cold jajjaja. I remember leaving the house without a jacket and I had to repent for that with the light rain and the cold that it was making. I feel like as more time I have here the more my body adjusts to the clima jajjaa. I am going to miss Elder Bentley yelling at me every morning to turn the fan off jajjajaja. One thing Elder Bentley told me is that he is not going to miss me sleeping with the fan and him dying every morning because he is so cold jajajja. The mission is so awesome such good times that I will remember forever jajja.
Yesterday Elder Bentley and I had the chance to speak in Sacrament meeting. With the new ward it was a good opportunity to speak in front of and get to introduce ourselves a little bit. We both talked about perseverar hasta el fin. My comp focused on the little and small things and I talked about the importancia in being diligent. There are 4 scriptures that drew my attention especially about being diligent en Doctrina y Convenios 58:26-29 que dicen
26 For behold, it is not meet
27 Verily I say, men should be
28 For the power is in them, w
29 But he that doeth not anyth
We are our own agents and we have the power of agency to choose. Don´t let the adversary drive you astray because the Lord is always watching for diligencia. Those who are diligent will arrive and see the blessings but if we are never diligent then we will never know what blessings are waiting for us. We have to be leaders en vez de followers because the Lord is looking for the leaders. Always look forward and prest forward because the Lord is waiting us to endure to his presence. Hope all is well and that you have a great week!
