SUS CAMINOS
Hey what's up, pretty good week this week. Didn't end super strong but we good, we'll keep going. We are making slow progress with our families and that's ok, obviously we would like them to make more progress but it's ok, God will provide.
I was on divisions this last Tuesday with Elder Meldrum in my District and it was super sick. Bro is super funny and loves to have fun. We were contacting a lot of the people that me and Elder Steere had contacted before and had 0 luck. However, we did end up finding a super cool family. We saw the mom walk in the front door while we were walking by so we decided to go knock it. A bunch of kids came out so I talked to em and asked em if they had a ball to play with, so they got their ball and all came out and we played with them for a bit. It was super lit. Then after, they got their moms to come out and we contacted em and got an appointment for Thursday. So then me and Elder Steere went back on Thursday and it was super lit. There were even more kids and we played soccer and shared a message with aunts, uncles, parents, cousins, grandparents. It was sick. Then after the lesson they wanted to play even more and the dad even came out and started playing with us and was laughing, giving us high fives, hugs, everything. It was super lit. They were working this Sunday but I'm hoping we can start visiting them more often and get them to church soon! A couple of investigators that we had dropped a couple weeks ago reached out to us and 2 of em came to church this Sunday. It made us super happy and I'm excited to see if this time they want to start taking everything a bit more seriously.
I'm super stressed in the area and it's a tough one. Definitely the hardest one I've had yet but I have been thinking a lot about faith. I know, super basic, but I have realized that I have a LONG way to go with my faith/trust in the Lord's plan for Alotenango. A couple scriptures that I have been thinking about a lot are Isaiah 55:8-9. We get very frustrated sometimes and we all wish we could just have it our way. But what we can learn from these verses is that He knows what's best for us and He has a much better plan for us than we do for ourselves. To have faith is to trust in His plans and understand that what we want isn’t always what is best.
Love you all and hope to hear from you all this week
Stay safe and have faith
Scripture of the Week:
Isaiah 55:8-9 “¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaías 55:8-9 “8 Porque mis pensamientos no son vuestros pensamientos, ni vuestros caminos mis caminos, dice Jehová. 9 Como son más altos los cielos que la tierra, así son mis caminos más altos que vuestros caminos, y mis pensamientos más que vuestros pensamientos.”
