What a fun Halloween weekend! We had an activity Friday and
District conference on Saturday and Sunday. It was a pretty good turnout. Like
at home, there has been a lot of instruction about Sabbath Day worship. It was
so great. We had three people in the church with dates for baptism.
We also went trick or treating! Well, not on purpose. We had
10 min left until we could enter the house so we decided- to knock a few doors.
We were all greeted with 'no thank you' but given a hand full of candy anyways.
I am not sure if that shows we are dedicated or disobedient--- I'll let you
decide
It has been hard to communicate with people this week
because our phone ran out of minutes! It was a travesty. It is literally our
life - with setting up appointments, verifying members etc. It was a struggle,
but it made us think in some creative ways... Thankfully we have more for this
week.
We used our bikes this week! Well... for two days until my
comp's broke... but it was fun while it lasted and we hope to get them fixed
today. They help so much in this huge sector. When we don't have them we have
to spend money on the bus to get around.
Hermana Ovando and I have been learning to teach together.
It has been interesting finding a balance. I have been studying in the New
Testament the teachings of Christ (because he is the best example we have right
:) and something that has stuck out to me is how simple He teaches. With
questions and parables- He teaches people not just lessons.
The gospel really is not that complicated. The scriptures
are so clear. It is Satan who is the master of confusion that would have us
believe that the gospel is hard to understand, hard to learn and hard to live.
If I could just remind you of one thing this week- remember
to delight in the scriptures. They hold the teachings of our brother, Jesus
Christ. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Ready, meditate and delight in following their council. I love
you all so much. You are always in my prayers
Besos
