I’m officially done with training!! Training is usually 12 weeks but since I came mid transfer it was 9 for me! We had TLC this week where you have to be able to teach the first 5 lessons in spanish! That kinda sucked but I did it so yeah. Transfers are next week… Im not excited for that I seriously love the missionaries I’ve been serving around. They have changed my life. Hope y’all are doing good and being safe! This week was super fun!
Our boy Dontrell. This dude is awesome he always loves talking to missionaries and taking them to dinner. My first week in the mission I met him at General Conference! He’s hilarious. But recently he reached out to us and asked if we wanted to get dinner and do a podcast!! It was super cool. Basically just talked about our mission and stuff like that and I may have got a little emotional at the end but it was a super cool experience.
We did a whole bunch of service this week! We moved a bunch of people in and out of apartments. Kinda gross how much people hoard. But it was a lot of fun! We gave like 4 blessings this week. Always such a spiritual experience!
We had an awesome lesson with Maragrita this week!! We talked about prophets and some other stuff. We were reading in the Bible about prophets and she didn’t understand what a prophet was so while we were reading in the Bible she was looking up what a prophet was in the Guide to the Scriptures in the Book of Mormon!! Never seen anyone do that so that was super cool! Then we Sent her the Message of Hope that the prophet gave on friday! Then she literally invited us over for thanksgiving!!! Of all people I was not expecting her to ask us. She barely knows us. She is seriously awesome. Her husband told us he’s not really interested but said we make her happy so we are always welcome in their home! He’s a work in progress!
This week I’ve been trying to see how the Bible and Book of Mormon have a relation. Super cool scripture I was reading in the Bible in John 10:14-16 where it talks about there being another “fold of sheep” And then while I was reading in 3 Nephi 15:19-24 its says
“21And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles; for they understood not that the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching.
23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice; and they understood me not that the Gentiles should not at any time hear my voice—that I should not manifest myself unto them save it were by the Holy Ghost.”
Literally one of the coolest things I’ve found while studying. It was awesome to see the two connections. Then I was like hmmm theres gotta be a talk about this. Which there wasn’t but it came up with a talk called “Shepherding Souls” by Gary E. Stevenson. Probs one of my fav talks you guys need to go give it a read. Something that stood out to me was “Brothers and sisters, our greatest challenges and our greatest rewards may come as we minister to lost sheep” that got me thinking about missionary work. You know missionaries come and go but, the members are always there in that area! Missionary work is essential BUT Member Missionary work is just as important!! Love you all and stay safe!!
