Its my first month completed in Beja! I just realised how time flies so fast..
Well this week was pretty chill, we taught a few lessons (6) and found about 3 new people to teach. The progress of the branch is really fluctuating. Some get the priesthood and others fall away!
I was reading this week in the Book of Mormon and I found someone who I feel similar too at times :)
Moroni!
Right when everything was going good after he kicked butt with the title of liberty, the people started rebelling, the laminates started attacking and I'm sure his wife was mad at him for something!
It was a super crazy hard time for him, you can tell, but what was cool to me is how he acted!
He just picked a problem and took care of it.
Then to the next one.
Then the next.
and Done!
The hard part is I cant just put people in jail here! :P:P
Well here its pretty calm. we talk with everyone in the road and were always knocking on someones door :P
Its been a big focus on the mission to get better at teaching.! Its challenging and frustrating when we fail but It helps us get better and do better the next day! The more we practice and study the more we want to teach! Its all about understanding the stuff then it gets super addicting! :D:D
I blew an older mans mind this week Story:
So you know, Elder P and I are just knocking doors on Saturday morning as usual and this older man opens up saying " I am a catholic! You are Mormons! thank you but no! "
after some dancing in the door (talking about other stuff to get him distracted :P) he started talking with us,
the conversation led to the fact he had just turned 41. He seemed worried about what his life would bring him as he was beginning to feel the age.
I politely asked the man a quick question :
"Sir, as a catholic what are your believes on what happens after this life?"
He stopped and thought for a while. Deeply the spirit moved in me and the words started coming out.
After a short pause he began to tell me what he knew.. "Nothing"
I had a great time explaining how this life is not the end and the spirit touched his heart.
We set up an appointment for this week.
I'm so grateful for the Lord and His promises that If we study and search with all our minds He will give us the words to speak to help His family.
The Part more difficult is Satan is working just as hard as we are. Never more or less. Just as hard. We've gotta beat him out!
Share with everyone!
