well it was another week full work 24 / 6.5 (for p day :) ) we had a
amazing week eventhough challenges with my companion have once agian
started we havent let that stop us from having the best week this area
has seen in a long time. the lord has really put in alot of work in this
area while there was some relaxed missionaries here to care for it.
they didnt know how to take advantage of the opportunities that the lord
presented to them so we are now enjoying double the blessings. i
applied the good old President Dorius advice again and we went to new
areas and man did we find some awesome people. it is a little pueble
called centanela and in our first week there we have had a ton of
success. it is a little ways out from our area right by the beach front,
but that fact alone causes us some problems the biggest of which is
church attendance. it is too far to walk (unless you are a missionary in
that case you always walk) and too expencive for them to pay for a
moto. i told president about it when he called to congradulate us for
the work we have done in 2 short weeks and he told me that tomorrow he
will be here for a confrence and he will stop by to see what we can do
about opening a little group out there, with yours truely as the
president. hmmm things could get interesting very fast.
our first day in centanela was a miracle in itself. we entered town
with no idea where to start. so i say to my companion lets just start
tracting. he asked where and i answered that isnt important because
there were people ready to recieve the gospel here, we just had to find
them. the first door we knocked we entered the house. we taught about
joseph smith and the Book of Mormon and she accepted a baptismal date.
this wednesday we decided to dedicate all our time there and she
promised to invite her neighbors and family to be present in the lesson
at 4. . . . well it is time to get started..
i love you fam and i thank you for your prayers because i know
without them i would be nothing. your prayers are the power in my feet
and the wind at my back. take good care of yourselves this week. i hope
to have many more stories for you next week i love you and always
remember, i am working as hard as i can.
