¡Hola!
This week was awesome! I'm in Paleca I in Soyapango, I'm the District
Leader, and I'm finishing my companion's training! The funniest part is that we
look alike! I'll send you a pic next week. It's been forever since I was DL and
the first couple of days were sooo stressful because of all the responsibility
that was instantly dumped on me, but now that I've gotten into the swing of
things over these past few days, I feel fine. It was weird at first too because I
have Hermanas in my district and when I called them the first time it felt
awkward because I've never had to call Hemanas before, haha. Things have been
going great though. It's really helped me focus even more and strive to be more
exact and set a great example for the district. It's a little disappointing
because we have to enter the house at 7:00pm, but we make the most of what He's
given us to work with.
Yesterday the Bishop gave us four Elders the chance to speak in Sacrament
Meeting and give the class during the 3rd hour because it was the 5th Sunday. It
was really cool being able to talk to the members about strengthening their
testimony and conversion through the Book of Mormon and how to share the Gospel
in a non-threatening way.
The Zone Leaders talked to the Stake President and
this Saturday starting with our ward we're going to do a "Tarde de Rescate"
(Afternoon of Rescue) where all the missionaries from the zone come and we go on
divisions with members and visit less-actives and investigators so we can boost
the attendance in Sacrament Meeting.
As we continue to find ways we can work
together with the members I know that we'll see many miracles wrought in our
ward and we'll be blessed with becoming instruments in the hands of God to bring
thousands of soul unto repentance as Ammon and the sons of Mosiah did among the
Lamanites and as we will among these the descendants of the Lamanites.
Did you know that Elder L. Tom Perry passed away on Saturday from terminal
thyroid cancer?! It's crazy to think he's gone, but obviously he's finished his
work here on earth and the Lord needs him even more in the Spirit World. Time is
short in this life, but as we make the most of it the Lord can make more out of
us than we could ourselves.
¡Levántate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
Love,
