Yeah, I even wore green today... still doesn't matter. But those ticos
don't enjoy life sometimes with all these pointless holidays, am I
right?
Well let's just say that this week was either really freakin good, or
just really horrible. Let me tell ya bout it. It's pretty juicy stuff.
so on monday we had 2 FHE planned with the president of the branch and
the 1st councilor. we went to the counselors house first and he didn't
show up until 720 when he told us at 7. And the next FHE was at 745...
ok do you think we made it? yes. we did. Even when this man TALKS A
TON. I was like, ok byeeeee, "wait you don't want refreshments" nope
don't have time... chaaoooo. They actually gave us a ride to the
presidents house, but we had to pick up a less active on the way, and
he wasn't home yet!! I was so embarrassed when we got to the
presidents house late. Then the less active left like 10 mins
after we got there. hahaa whoops... he was feeling sick, but it turned
out well after that. and I stopped apologizing. Haha maybe I should
not do that, cause then if you apologize they just keep remembering
what happened..
We visited a less active family, which that's what we did the whole
week cause we had to get them to this district conference we had this
weekend. We visited them and we shared a neat little scripture and
then I asked for references, and they were like, YA this neighbor is
passing through a rough time right now, come tomorrow and we will take
you to visit her... but she's been in San Jose last week, but we will
get her this week, I love member references cause they usually join
the church. MEMBERS ROCK. (remember that)
We had a sick zone conference with president, and our zone is lucky
that we had him all to ourselves! 3 cheers for Guanacaste! anyways, we
got a good talkin to and how we can help our investigators out but
what really has to happen, is that they need to open their hearts, and
if they aren't opening their hearts, there's nothing that we can do, so
we can't damn them more, we gotta let them go and pray that one day
down the road they will open their hearts. It's hard, cause we have
probably 3 people that are actually opening their hearts, and the rest
we've gotta drop them, I love them, but we gotta do it, so we aren't
wasting our time, when we need that time for people who are REALLY
ready. At times we need to realize that we can't just depend on the
members for references, if we aren't receiving any, we gotta work
harder ourselves, and then they will come around one day to help us.
What I really like, is going visiting with members, because they
let ya know where members live, that ya didn't even know were members,
and we actually visited one of those and come to find out they have a
12 year old who isn't a member and wants to learn more :) WOOSHHH.
Part of the district conference, President Wilkinson talked to us
about Ephraim and Manasseh and that we are the ones to GATHER Israel.
We are only waiting for the gathering of israel and the 2nd coming of
Christ. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED. NOW
IS THE TIME. President was slamming on the podium. HE IS AMAZING. The
spirit was soooo strong. and he had all of us, the missionaries in
Guanacaste, which are 31, come up and stand in front of him to see what
kind of army they have here. EVERYBODY WAS CRYING. It was soooo
spiritual. also we had Elder Scott and Oaks talk to us, as well as
Bonnie and Elder Marino. It was really inspiring, and they helped us
really understand that we need to help the inactives get a testimony
again, with the basics, and we need to understand the atonement in our
lives. It was really in and out cause I've been sick. again. but I felt
the spirit so that's good.
So getting to the whole "I've been a little sick" thing, I was just
fading in and out all day yesterday, it started with a head cold, so
I went home after church and rested for a while, and then we went out
and worked, and when we got home the other Hermanas got there too, and
one of them fell and needed help cleaning out her toe, like it was bad
stuff, the nail was gone and everything, haha and so I was doing it,
and the next thing ya know, I wake up crying.. I'm like why am I on the
floor crying? haha then when I was drinking water to help me a little
bit, I went again, and woke up crying again to everybody saying my
name.. haha it was weird stuff. but yeah I woke up today, cleaned a
little and then just slept until now.. I feel like I could sleep
forever... but the stress is just gettin to me, with the comp and
everything not being obedient, but I can do this, I know it...
thanks for all your prayers.
Read, "You can do it now" by Pres.Utchdorf. I love it.. I know you will
too. and I know you've read it a ton. I have too and I love it
every time. :)
HUGS AND KISSES
