Week 41: Its all about the LOVE!

Las Hermanas

Hola Familia!!

This last week was sooooooo crazy and a way stressful! One of the hermanas has been really sick so Hermana Mackay and I have had to do divisions almost every day to help them teach all the people in their sector. Also one of the other companionships was having some problems so we did divisions with them too and helped them work it out. We hardly had any time to work in our sector but had an activity on Saturday! It was an activity on missionary work and Hermana Mackay and I tried to excite the members to share the gospel with their friends! We played games and ate food and it was really fun! We were worried that not a lot of people would show up because our ward mission leader said that not many people go to the activities but so many people came!! and a lot of nonmembers too! It was so awesome!

We were able to find a few more people to teach but we are still searching with all our effort! I have been reading a talk that is called "El cuarto misionero" I think its like fourth missionary in english but it is so so so so so good! It talks about how there are levels of missionaries and how the fourth missionary is the one who gives EVERYTHING to the Lord. The one that not only serves with their strength but the one that serves with their heart. It talks about giving 100% to the work. Sometimes on the mission we do the things we do because we have to not because we want to. That is the third missionary. The one who works really hard but in their heart doesn't want to be there. The fourth missionary is the one who works hard and loves the work in their heart! The one who knows why they are there and enjoys serving the Lord. The talk explains it way better but I was able to kind of re-find my enthusiasm for the mission! It's still hard but with a positive attitude, it makes everything better! Loving the work makes the mission easier, more enjoyable, and much more meaningful and I am thankful every day for the opportunity I have to be here! 

Some things that happened this week:
