Well i exploded........ We had a
activity on friday we rented the sport park in front of our house and we
planned on having some games and fun there. well we left our last lesson
a little late and i was worried that we would be late and the people
who would be coming would see that no one was there and leave so we flew
changed grabbed the volleyball net and in my haste forgot the keys. we
get to the park and i realize my mistake. so i ask my companion if he
had by chance grabed the keys on his way out he answered me no. so now
frustrated with myself realize what the next step is so with my
companion watching me i grab a rock and break the small window in order
to open the door. i begin to clean up and then them bomb shell . . . . .
. my dear sweet companion walks in with the keys dangling from his
fingers. "you see that is why i should be in charge" i was tempted to hit
him with the broom that i had in my hand but i just threw it to the
ground and with a solid kick split it in two. all i could do was stare
at him knowing that what ever words i could say would just slide off his
unpenitrable armor of pride. i grabbed two brothers who had came to
play, one of them being Javier. and told him to keep Elder Narvaez out
of my sight for the rest of the evening. i then went with the other
brother to buy a sheet of glass and calk in order to replace the broken
window.......... i hope you understand a little better now what i am up
against. but you are right the only thing i can do is bend to his
standards and try to lift him higher.
we got to planning session and i was once again
tempted to just ignore the fact that we needed to do it but not once in
my mission have i missed a planning session and i wasnt going to let
this son of god get to me so we sat and i prayed and then said you want
control you have it tell me what are we going to do tomorrow. being
saturday we had baptism and it didnt even cross his mind so i just
listened and listened and then when he had finished saying his great
plan on how we were going to work the next day all i said was . . . .
"and the baptism where does that fit in" he turned red and began to
erase everything he had written. but that didnt stop him..... i dont
credit it entirely because of him but last week we had a attendance of 21
people in church. yesterday 12 i try and i try but i cant break him.
and it isnt just me this week we had two work visits one from the
district leader and the other from the zone leader to try and help him
out but the result was the same.
Cristian, the young man i told you about from last
week accepted a baptismal date but talking with president dorius i
realized that he needs the written permission of President Monson in
order to be baptized so that is out of my hands now and i just hope and
pray that my companion can handle it. yesterday evening i received a
call from a unknown number at almost 1030 at night i was surprised by the
lateness but even more surprised by the caller it was Elder Torres from
the area presidency he called asking about our group and we talked a
little about our church situation. 21 people dont fit in our small room
anymore so they are looking into a house to rent. i also took the chance
and asked about cristian. he told me that because it was an accident
that he only had to be interviewed my the area presidency and that it
didnt have to go that far up to the prophet that made me feel a little
better but i still wish i could be here to see it.
this week i ask that you pray more for the area than
for me. ME i can handle it but what really scares me is the area that i
will be leaving. remember that i love you all so much and that despite
everything i am working as hard as i can.
