OK, let me attempt to update you on the rest of my week!
It's
been a pretty great time! I know I'll get to the field and still be
lost, but all of our investigators keep complementing our Spanish
because it makes sense and is really good in comparison, at least when
compared to missionaries who have been learning the language for two
weeks haha! We had a devotional from the Old MTC [Missionary Training Center] president on Sunday
and he talked about some really good things that we could do to be "100
Watt Missionaries" and really continue to grow in the field. The last
thing I want to do out there is work hard for a while and stagnate or
start having some other problems.
We had a
lesson this week with a lady Hely who was really cool. She was actually
really excited to talk to missionaries who knew enough Spanish to
explain why we disagree with certain Catholic beliefs instead of just
disagreeing with her. We talked about the example in Acts 7 [verses 55-56] that shows
that the Trinity isn't exactly what people make it out to be, and she
felt like she was not very close to God anymore, despite wonderful
experiences in her past with God. We showed her the promise Joseph Smith
gave in the Book of Mormon introduction and then shared Moroni 10:3-5. She
read verse 3 where it talks about the mercies of the Lord and shared an
incredible testimony of the love God had for her to spare her life when
she was living in Guatemala during the civil war and was literally
waiting for a man to pull the trigger and kill her on the street. Did I
tell this story already? Not sure.
Next week, Mexico!!!!!
Love you!
Elder Wadman
