Well, it´s been another week. I´d have to say the highlight of the week was definitely Zone Conference. Elder Gomez, a setenta, and his wife came. Presidente Resek, his wife, Elder Gomez and his wife all talked and they were all amazing. From start to finish the Spirit was strong and by the end we were all kinda blown away. I think we all agreed it was the best zone conference yet. I learned a lot of things that I could be doing better, which is always good.
As for la obra, it was a bit of a tough week. We were able to find a few new people, but none that seem too promising. The most frustrating part is that we weren´t able to teach our investigators with asistencia hardly at all, and thus, it feels like we made no progress at all this week. Weeks like that are always a little bit of a downer, but it usually means that a good week is just around the corner. Also, from my experience, good weeks seem to happen because you make them happen, so that´s what we´re looking to do this week. Oh, and I almost forgot, Edwin will be getting baptized this saturday. (I´m pretty sure I mentioned him last week, but if not, well...there you go)
Well unfortunately that´s about all I got for this week, which isn´t much. I´m pretty excited for General Conference in a couple of weeks. I hadn´t even realized it was coming up until a couple of days ago. It´s hard to believe it´s been six months since I saw the last one while I was in Alvarez. Time seems to be flying, y por eso, hay que aprovechar de cada momento.
A random quote that I thought was profound:
¨Si los hombres no entienden el carácter de Dios, no se entienden a sí mismos.¨ - José Smith
-Elder Shelton
Here's the weekly translations:
- setenta = 70 (as in quorum of the 70)
- obra = work (as in missionary work)
- asistencia = attendance (at church)
- y por eso, hay que aprovechar de cada momento = and therefore, we should take advantage of each moment
- ¨Si los hombres no entienden el carácter de Dios, no se entienden a sí mismos.¨ = if men don't understand the character of God, they will not understand themselves
