Last Monday was p-day. Super relaxed. Didn't do a ton. We had a FHE with the Garcia's and I taught. The lesson wasn't perfect and neither was my spanish, but the spirit testified so strongly, which was super, super cool! 2 Nephi 3:24 "...being an instrument in the hands of God." It's a cool feeling. I've been praying a lot lately for, well, help. I'm on a mission, but this past week or so, I haven't felt like I'm doing much. This lesson helped me understand a little better that I'm here doing God's work. Literally. Not what I think is God's work. Does that even make sense?
Tuesday: Has anyone read the book of Job? I read about it in the Bible Dictionary - pretty cool. "The Book of Job suggests that affliction, if not for punishment, may be for experience, discipline and instruction." God doesn't give us trials to punish us (well, sometimes). He gives them to us to make us better people.
Wednesday: Today was a party. I went on divisions with Elder Parker in his area for the day. There is this area call "Las Tablas" and it is super sketch. Elder Parker said they never go there after 6. 'Cause you'll die. Anyway, it is always fun to do divisions. And it was fun to be with someone from the US. Good day.
Thursday: We had a zone meeting this morning and 'twas a good time. This zone is da bomb because it is only elders. There aren't any sisters, so we are super tight. Just a heads up: If you tell a latina that you really don't want food, they will still make you food. We visited a recent convert/less active member and talked with them for awhile. He asked me to say a prayer. That was a pretty inspired prayer as he said it was exactly what he needed and they are really going to try to come to church again.
Friday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!! The big 5-0!
Saturday: We had a zone activity this morning contacting people in another area. I was with Elder Martinez from Nicaragua. He's super cool. Hey if y'all have time, go read and seriously ponder Alma 5:14-15. It's kind of like a member self quiz.
Sunday: Church en la manãna, fue bueno, estuve muy cansado. Tuvimos Almuerzo con la familia Hinojosa Herrera y tuvimos helados de fruta. Sinceramente es mi segunda comida favorita, despues el pay de limon de Angeles. Tuvimos una junta en la tarde por pocos Horas, entonces tuvimos tiempo a descansar. Buen dia. Que Tengan una buena semana! (Church in the morning, it was good, I was very tired. We had lunch with the Hinojosa Herrera family and we had fruit ice cream. Honestly it's my second favorite meal, then Angeles' lemon pie. We had a meeting in the afternoon for a few hours, then we had time to rest. Good day. Have a good week!)
