And
thus my first change out in the field is over! It’s insane that it’s already
come and gone. Time is insane down here! So here are a few cool things of the
week...
This week we fasted for one of our investigators named
Daniel Sossa. The one I talk with about soccer a lot. He is totally ready to be
baptized but doesn’t feel totally ready. So we decided to fast for him and for
some reason it was, legit, one of the hardest things for me. We were walking
around all day and I was on the verge of passing out the whole time. It was
rough. So he was the last appt for the day and so we were just praying we would
be able to put a date with him... well he didn’t accept one at all. It was
super sad. After we left I was walking and talking with my companion and it was
really weird because I like wasn’t mad at all. Normally people would be pretty
frustrated if they did all that for nothing, but really I was just sad for him
is all. It’s cool how the mission changes you.
Random thing I think you guys might want to hear. The bottom
third of my planner, in my front pocket is like always drenched. Why you might
ask? Because I’m sweating like no other all the time here. Hooray for humidity!
We gave this Hermana in our district a blessing this week
and it was a really, really cool experience. As soon as my companion and I laid
our hands on her head I could just feel her faith. We have given a lot of
blessings before but you just can’t feel the power as much. It was just super
sweet to feel the faith that the Hermana had in the priesthood and it made me
realize and hope that I have that same faith.
I have been having a hard time staying motivated throughout
the days here. I think there are a few different reasons for this but primarily
I feel it’s because I don’t have the love for the people that I should have.
People usually say it’s super easy to love the people you are serving but It
definitely isn’t coming so easily for me. It’s not like I don’t like the people
here in the slightest. They are awesome. I just don’t feel like I have the pure
Christ like love I really should have. Hopefully this week I will be able to
improve because it is really starting to take a toll on me. I just don’t have
that intense desire to serve every day....
So I’m killing my companion in two days and will be getting
a new one. It’s crazy how fast our time together went. But I can say that I am
extremely glad for the time I have had to work with him. He has taught me so
much and has been a great example of so many important things on the mission. It
really makes me sad he’s leaving. Luckily I will be able to see him again in a
little less than two years from now! He’s a really cool guy!! Hopefully my new
comp is half as cool as him!
That’s it for the week.
Thanks for everything you guys do for me. You’re the best. Have a great week!!
