Wow, what a blessing you guys received, we´re always being watched over huh? :) A 2008 Mazda 3?! Yup, more proof we are always blessed haha. Don't worry dad, I´ll accept that when I get home. Then you´ll have the chance to buy your Porche.
This week was really great. We made some awesome progress with some key investigators. Just another slap-in-the-head reminder of how important the members are in missionary work. (Don't you guys ever forget that by the way). We were able to do some exchanges within our zone too, for just a day, but It was neat working in another area and seeing the work roll in a different part of the region. Every time we do exchanges I learn something new, either from the missionary I'm working with, or the investigators, or member we are teaching....and sometimes both. Learning is amazing. I have grown to love learning more here on my mission.
It was interesting, sometimes people have trouble imagining or comprehending another life after this, but recently we were talking with one señor who, (his wife passed away recently), when we taught this idea of life after death he already believed it, He basically taught US the doctrine of spiritual evolution, and how our spirits will continue learning and growing even after this life. We got a long way to go before we can obtain Exaltation. It really made me think and reflect on our personal potential. It was a personal motivation for me, to make sure that I am doing the right things to help me progress towards the goal, and a motivation to help other people reach it as well. Yeah, that was a thought I had this past week that I thought I would share :)
My companion and I were walking to our pension the other night when my companion stopped dead in his tracks and said, ¨WHoa¨ ) a very deep statement, but he pointed my confused gaze towards my feet, where very near was a tarantula, about the size of of a hand. So, of course, we took it in a bag to show the world and take pictures haha, it was pretty fun.
Love you all
