Good morning :D
This week my sister turned 8 year old!!! AH She is going to be baptized
:') That's one thing that happened this week, and now im gonna talk
about P-day...
Monday
we went to the castle with all of our zone and all the Elders were
ridiculous haha. First of all we have to climb a hill to get to the
castle and they told us we were going to play games to get to the top!
So they chose all four of us Hermanas to go first so we did the 3 legged
race and guess what happened... they made us go ALL the way! haha It was
so far but at the end we had a devotional and they talked to us about
our trial. I will talk about that at the end:P
Real
quick the other things that happened this week are: 1. we have had
"refuerzos" in all the other areas of Tandil. Where all 14 of us
missionaries work in one of the areas. There are 5 here and it was a lot
of work... a lot of walking and just tiresome but wow we found so many
people doing this. We also worked with a different companion each day.
For us Hermanas there are only 3 others to choose from so we just
switched around everyday haha but we found one person one day.
I was
with Hermana Zubeldia, my actual companion. But this man we found with his family was one
of the sweetest, nicest people I have ever met. He hadn't met us before
but he was so respectful and offered us his time, and to come into his house. We coudn't because his wife was gone but he had really interesting
questions for us. One of them was somethings like "so you two have said
that you have had to go through your own problems and find out for
yourself if what you teach is true... so if I can ask, what is one of the
hardest things you have gone though in your life?" Wow, right!? But if
you know me I love questions like that where I can just tell my story
and testify! So I told him an answer after my companion, and he told me he
loved my answer. That he can tell that we really do have a testimony of
these things and he respected that. Now this man isn't in our area:/ and I don't know what has happened with him since but I felt the spirit so
strong and the love that God has for him. I have such a desire to help
him and these people gain testimonies for their own. People prepared
like him are out there... we just need to search and find them!
Now the devotional for our P-day:
They talked about how at times it was sure to have felt like we were
working solo. Sometimes your feet aren't connected and you step
separately throwing off your balance. And sometimes you aren't paying
attention to the person who you are tied to. The goal is to work
together and learn from each other so you can reach the top with as much
success as possible. This ties to companionships on the mission and also
married couples. We need to always work with our companion. Not always
are we on the same page and we have selfish thoughts but our purpose is
to put those thoughts aside and make decisions together. Also we are not
alone in our trials. We have a companion to help us up the mountain but
we also have the voice of the Holy Ghost and help from God and our
savior Jesus Christ. With these things we can get through any trial. Just
have the faith!
This work is tough but what a BLESSING.
Listen to the spirit and recognize your blessings!
Thank you all for being the amazing, steadfast people you are,
Hermana Lauren Williams
