We had changes! I was so mad. But I'm good now. Elder Paiz is with Elder Hale in Guaimaca! So happy for them. That Paiz gets to know all my people and Elder Hale is finally relieved. But my comp is Elder Del Rosa! He's 24 from Mexico..really tranquilo and quiet.. but he's cool! With all the comps I've had I'm not complaining one bit. He's been a member for 2 years and has the coolest story! Basically saw an ad on Youtube for a LDS message, looked at it, watched videos all night, chatted with someone online on lds.org, went to church by himself, andddd got baptized in a week. Not bad! Cool testimony builder. But I do miss having a gringo... But it's all good! Tuki got baptized!! Heck Yes!! Got the whole fam going back to church and Tuki GOT BAPTIZED! After tons of missionaries that have passed through, and nobody tried to help them. Sure do love em! But, "see with your heart" experience happened this week because I've felt like we needed to be persistent with Orlando R**, and so we knocked on his door every day this week and we finally found him Sunday! He's back in business! He's just been busy with work but still wants us to come by and visit him and he said he's going to church! Also, with Fam Munoz we're slowly getting there. Want the baptism to be the 10th. They're amazing.
This rain is a killer though. Everyone is getting sick. But we keep on keeping on.
One thing in my studies this week that I've seen from the example of Nephi is that it's great to ask questions, to want to learn more about the doctrine of Christ. But like Nephi, we must be DILIGENT in seeking for the answers. That's the part Laman and Lemual didn't understand. Exercising our faith by keeping the commandments, being diligent in doing so, and then come our answers and blessings. Boom shaka laka. I've seen that with our investigators this week and it's beautiful when they understand.
This week I'm thankful for my house, my area, medicine, my new comp, the opportunity to work with new missionaries, my fam, my Heavenly Father, My great Grandpa, stories, history, Doctrine and Covenants, the Bible, Sigua!, the Temple, Everything!! I'm so grateful right now!
