Elder Branton McCain: Battle Week

Hola

This week was pretty good. This week we had a lot of meetings because Elder Pino a seventy came to the mission and we had Conferencia with him and Consejo de Misión. It was super awesome because you could just feel his presencia being there. He really helped me and answered a lot of questions that all of us have had in how to help the mission and make it a better place. Unfortunately, I was not able to go to the Conferencia because I woke up sick on Thursday and was battling with my stomach jajajja. I think one of the most important things that I learned in being a good leader in the mission was something that Elder Pino said many times. It is a quote from Boyd K Packer that says that if you see someone doing something they shouldn´t and don´t correct them then you are only thinking about yourself. I feel like this can be true in our lives too, we have to stop being espejos and just do what we know is right. This week I was reading in Alma and Moroni is just a great example of a leader. He does what is right and doesn´t do it to be recognized but because he knows that he will help other people and himself if he sticks firm to what he believes.

This week we have been battling with the area. We contacted a lot this week but we weren´t able to find many people but I know that they are out there we just have to keep working and pushing on. This week I had a super cool experience in los Clases de Inglés. This week there was un Señor that showed up for the first time that wanted to practice speaking in English so we split the classes up in two and I had the oportunidad to work with the people that are more advanced in English. We began to talk and we had a talk in English about the Restoration of the Church and the Book Of Mormon. I had never thought that preaching would be so hard in English. It was so hard jajjaja but you could feel the spirit there and also one of the people that were there in the English Class went to church yesterday and loved it. This work is so awesome and I love just feeling the Spirit testify to me what I am teaching is true. I have no doubt and know that the Lord is preparing his Reino here on the Earth. This work is so great!

Alma 34:40-41

40 And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have patience, and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them;
