Ok ok so got my first week down here in the new area and last transfer the area was blanked so we are having some troubles getting going haha
So here in this ward there is this family, the rojas family and they make up for about 70 percent of the ward and its leadership. Problem is they have all decided to go under a heavy self quarantine to protect their grandma. So they arent even taking our calls right now so the biggest challenge in this area will be connecting with the members.
Buuuttt we did get to meet with an inactive family from the dominican republic and ahh i love them some of the funniest people i have ever met i was ceying from laughter, but they are really awesome and we got invited back so we are hoping that this will open up some doors for us and we can start getting some investigators to teach!!
So this week i just want to invite you all to help out the missionary work in your area as members you are the legs us the missionaries right now they need all the help you can give so go on facebook and find the missionary page in your area and give the posts some love this helps the algorithm get the posts out to people in your area so non members can see it more often, so like comment and share and it will really help out the work, thanks you guys are awesome.
Ok so we had a super cool training this past week from a sister that was super good, so first she split us up into two teams elders vs sisters then she would put up four pieces of paper on the board that had an item written on them like a perfect car, unlimited bank account, popularity, and so forth. Now each round the elders and sisters would have to be in agreement on one of the four to get rid of, and so the game goes but towards the end the pieces of paper start to say family, temples, priesthood, church. But each time you still have to get rid of one thing so we always debated which of thr good things we could give up and then it came down to temple, family, testimony, and priesthood and she said ok out of all of these you can only keep one, wo after debating a lot we came to the conclusion that she knew we would get to and kept testimony.. which really opened my eyes temples can fall and be closed, converts often time have to leave or are disowned by family for following what they know to be true, and people of christ lived without priesthood before. But out of all those amazing things we were not willing to give up our testimonies, which i thought was crazy on the scale of importance i put that above my family?? But it showed us that our tetimonies are evwrything without them we are lost and who knows what qould happen if we dont have a testimony, temples and other things of that nature do not mean as much to us. Now if that is the sharpest most strongest tool we have we need to use it as much as possible, our new president has had us set goals for how often we can bear our testimonies in little ways throughout the week and it has really stretched me and helped me grow so i invite you all to do the same and use that strong tool you have.
Love you all hope you have an awesome week
