This week has been really awesome and funny. We worked hard when we could and lamped harder when we couldn't. There
is something really remarkable when you put faith and works together.
This week we have really seen the fruit of our labor. We have loadsssss
of people to teach right now, more people to teach than we have time in
the day. On Saturday and Sunday we had Stake Conference with President
and Elder Honda Civic of the Seventy (he's from argentia and his accent
is absolutely horrible). Anways the theme basically was about member
responsibility. All the missionaries loved it and hopefully it'll help
boost the moral of our dwindling ward. As always, we tried to always work
with members this week and with our efforts combined our investigators
are progessing like crazy. Transfers are next week and I think I'm
leaving, but were going to put fechas for the baptisims with in the next
two weeks. There is no better feeling than arriving to an appointment
to someone who actually kept their commitments.
Anway the work is going
super well. Astri, one of our recent converts told us that she wants to
serve a mission. She just had an interview with el opispo and will go to
the temple for baptisms this upcoming Saturday...uber dopeeee
In
other news this week I sang a solo in our Stake Conference in front of
Pres Douglas and Elder Zivic. I didn't know I'd be singing a solo until I
was sitting on the stand about 10 minutes before. I sang 'Lord I will Follow Thee'. I won't go into detail, but let's just say it didn't sound
like Natalie Packer's version of 'I Stand In Holy Places'. President
jokingly told me I should never sing in front of anyone ever again, and
another elder told me that it was by far the worst musical number he
had ever heard. I guess there is no gift of musical tongues. (But
at least the real gift of tongues is working now). It hurt my ego a
little, but I've recovered. I met a missionary from Nibley, Utah who says
he knows Uncle Boyd and Nate. Elder Irish. I forget his first name but
we had some good laughs reminiscing Nate jokes.
Also we couldn't work
yesterday because the people had a huelga. Basically people rioting in
the streets because they want 24 hour power. The people basically burned
a lot of tires, shot guns, drank beer and threw a ton of trash on the
street. I wish I could take pictures.
Anyways life is going
great, its so amazing to feel the spirit everyday so strongly. I didn't
prepare a spiritual thought but basically just want to share a scrip that I found in my personal study this week.
I'm a sucker for scrips to boost moral and this is absolutely perfect.
I'm loving life here in the DR and wouldn't change a thing!
