Monday: Bad
Tuesday: Crazy. Worked really really hard.
Wednesday: District Council with the gooniest district in the world:') ALSO we have new standard of excellence for the mission. Each companionship is working to find eight new people to teach in a week and baptize four every month! We're working really hard with a couple friends to prepare them for their baptisms and I'm just absolutely stoked.
Thursday: We went to the center of Carlos Paz to teach our friend Omar and that was awesome. AND in that same hour WE RAN INTO SOMEONE WE MET TWO WEEKS AGO but lost contact with! AND THEN we ran into another friend who hadn't responded to us in a lil (awkward for us) JUST after! The Lord 100% made our paths align and I was so grateful. Then we took the bus to a little town about 30 mins outside the city to teach our favorite family. On the ride over, we taught four different people and took two of their phone numbers! I love days like this.
Friday: Exchanges!! I spent the day in the center of Córdoba with Hermana Flores. very fun! and really cool to teach some of their friends.
Saturday: Pablito was baptized!! We were very proud <3
Something that really touched me from this week was an experience I had on Thursday (Thursday was a very beautiful day for me alright).
As we were waiting in the line to buy bus tickets, I started looking around at all of the people. As I watched each person walk by, I truly felt the love God has for them. I've never felt this before this strongly.
Doctrine and Covenants 18:10-11
"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;
For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him."
I looked at each person and knew in my heart that they were all beloved children of God. That He knows them intimately, their hearts their trials their weaknesses. That God sent His Son to suffer for each and every one of them. To redeem them! This moment was perspective changing. I have a new sense of purpose as a missionary and as a person! To maintain this love that I felt for them. To strive each day with all I can to show it and help people come unto their Savior.
If not any one else in the entire world, God loves you and Jesus loves you. (and I try really hard:)
And also I just love this scripture --
Doctrine and Covenants 109:73 "That thy church may come forth out of the wilderness of darkness, and shine forth fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners"
It reminds me of this...
Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
okay! have a good week haha that's all.
