This was
kind of a rough week for the numbers and investigators. These last 2 weeks have
kind of been like that, we are working as hard as we can, but it just seem like
there arent people for us right now. We had planned to bring 15 investigators
to church, and at the last second they all canceled on us. Kind of frustrating,
but it happens sometimes. Sometimes God just wants us to learn patience and
trust in His timing. We are working hard, and the blessings will come (D&C
59:4). The good news is that the Church is true and that we are working in the
vineyard of the Lord.
This
week is transfers, and my companion will be finishing his mission this week. He
actually finishes his mission Wednesday, so right now I am searching for
someone that can be my companion for a few days while I wait for my new
companion who will be coming Monday. I still dont know what it will be...
gringo? latino? who knows. I have a feeling it will be a gringo, but we´ll see
what happens.
Last
night there was a total lunar eclipse here in Arequipa. We went up on the roof
of our house and filed all of the reports and all the other stuff we have to do
on Sunday night while watching this awesome lunar eclipse. Rumor on the streets
here in Arequipa was that yesterday was going to be the Second Coming because
the scriptures say that one of the signs of this would be that the moon turns
to blood. But, we´re all still here, so I guess we´ll have to wait a little
longer haha.
Well,
not much to report this week. It kind of stinks to "kill" your
companion. Hard to stay focused on the work sometimes. There is just a lot of
stuff that happens at the end of your mission, everyone wants to say goodbye,
and the work seems to get lost a little bit in all the farewell meetings and
what not. I love Elder Coello to death, seriously, I really dont want him to
go, but I am going to be super happy to have a new companion and to be able to
just work and focus and what we need to do.
Have a
great week!
