The Hike and referrals

This week had its ups and downs… Tuesday we hiked a mountain (again) to our referral from a couple of weeks ago, but she wasn't there. This mountain is about 1 mile long and no vehicles go up it except, for personal ones, that everyone has up the mountain, so we had to hike it. It is a stupidly steep mountain, and I’ve put some pictures below.  Everyone else doesn't like us on the mountain, they are all solid Catholic and Iglesia. So we headed back down and ended up walking for 5 hours because we got punted from everywhere we went! Then it started down pouring rain.  Yeah, we were wet, I had a headache and it was late now, so we headed home a bit earlier to get some studies done that we didn't do in the morning.

Then Wednesday, at District council, I got one of the sisters angry at me, not on purpose I swear. She had to practice teach to me, and I was told the type of person that was tough and I had to do it well.  I did it so good, she got furious!!! WOW it was scary. I tried to calm it down afterwards but she was LIT UP. I Promise, I didn’t mean to provoke her at all, it just happened to be that way I guess, because I was such a good actor!!

Then nothing really on Thursday.  On Friday We found some cool new investigators!! TONS OF REFERRALS from investigators and they even gave them copies of the Book of Mormon. One of our investigators even started kissing the Book of Mormon.

Friday was really great!! Really the only good day out of the days to be honest.  We did teach a man on Sunday who WAS SO EXCITED to know about the Book of Moron and the history. Now that he is interested, and we told him it is more of a story that is the Bible, he was excited, and said we would read as much as he can with his crazy schedule.

So overall it was a decent week this week. Next week is transfer week and we will see if anything happens to us this week or not. If not, we go to the New Mission! The tension is high for transfers!!

So spiritual thought for the week!!

Keep pushing forward!! There will be times where you are discouraged. Whether it is about your body, grades, school, friends, work, anything, this is the adversary’s job to tear you down. Don't let him!! You are Amazing!! keep doing the best you can and know that He is here for you always and he loves YOU!!

You are His child!! never forget it!!
