Hope
everyone is doing well at home! I had a great week. One of the highlights is
that we had Stake Conference Saturday and Sunday. That was great, got to sit in
an air conditioned building that look like a chapel in the states and feel the
spirit impact my heart!! Nothing better in the world than that. There were some
really good talks. Our President Rodriguez gave a talk and Hermana gave a
little one on Sunday. That was really cool and we had 4 investigators show up.
We weren’t expecting for any because when we were telling them about stake
conference they said that they couldn’t go. But when we got picked up by the
church bus (our Branch is 40 mins away from the stake center so the church let
us rent a bus to take all the members together all in one trip) so when they
picked us up there were two investigators on the bus but then 2 more showed up
solo.. one of them that showed up, we have lost contact with her totally... We
have stopped by here house like 6 times in a row different days but she is never
home but when we talk to the family that gave her to us as a ref. says that she
doesn’t go very far when she leaves her house so I don’t really know where she
is going.. ha But she must go far enough to slip out of the vision of Los
Misioneros.. ha she is lucky that we never see her in the streets because we
own the streets here!! ha J She has a facha for baptism
the 22 of March but I don’t think it will work out because she is still in the
first lesson because she has disappeared from the world for 2 weeks.. ha
Anyways in the Stake conference we had the privilege
to listen to Elder Anderson talk twice he is our Area President. But wow does
this man of God know how to talk with the spirit! He talk about praying and
missionary work and what the rules are with every president of the ward deal is
with missionary from Stake President all the way down to Members... but this
Stake Conference was all about missionary work and how everyone should be a missionary
in there wards. Which is SO true I thought missionaries did it all by
themselves before I left on a mission. Like they had to go find their
investigators and teach them and baptize them but its not like that! It’s all
about the members! Members are the people that drive the missionary work!
We didn’t really have a great week with
lessons because a lot of people fired us.. But what I have learned on my
missionis to have patience with people!! At the first of my mission I would get
so frustrated when they fired us or didn’t want to take the lessons or didn’t
really understand the gospel that we are teaching them. Because they just
changed your plans completely and you walked all the way to there house to have
a lesson or to teach them what you just studied this morning to help them
understand a lot more easier.. and now its just like whatever I guess we'll
just have to stop by tomorrow and well use the 30 mins that we had for them
either for another person that we don’t have that day or we'll use it for contacting
people..
I love this gospel and since I have been on
the mission I have changed completely the little things that would make me so
mad or frustrated its just like whatever man well just roll onnn with the
things we have. JI love you guys so much and I pray for you
often!! I hope you guys have a great week!! :)
Love
Elder Medrano
