Elder Hirst in Spain week 65 update
9:53 AM
Monday- for p day, elder reseigh has
some final souvenir shopping to do so I just sort of walked around with him on
that and it was good, Elder Reseigh is a great guy. We ate at a very good
Peruvian restaurant. That evening, we said goodbye to one of the families in
the ward
Tuesday- we had district meeting in the
morning and said goodbye to everyone leaving their areas. Then we ate at
dominoes buffet with some members. Then later we visited a few more different
members for elder reseigh to say goodbye to.
Wednesday- it was transfer day which
are always super crazy. We have to really help people get to the right places
so they arrive to their areas. We just helped with that, then came a sad moment
when my companion got on the train and we said goodbye. Reseigh was really such
an awesome companion. My new companion arrived later, elder Owens from Gilbert,
Arizona. He's a really great, super hard working missionary and a super awesome
bro. We helped more with transfers then eventually got out and just went
contacting a ton of people. Unfortunately from running around all day kinda
stressed out, I caught a cold.
Thursday- we did weekly planning in the
morning. That evening we visited the Nigerian member Morrison and he's always
doing great. He hopes to go to the temple soon. Then we went and taught our
investigator Gabriela from Argentina and she's actually been reading the Book
of Mormon so that's awesome! Then we went out contacting more and eventually
taught our investigator Paula and she's been reading a ton in the Book of
Mormon and really loves it! It's just hard to get her committed to come to
church.
Friday- we taught Gabriela the recent
convert in the morning and it went well. Gabriela is the best! That evening we
stopped by the less active from El Salvador, Juan Carlos. Juan Carlos is the
funniest guy ever, I just wish he'd come to church... then we visited another
less active Gustavo, and he's still struggling with stuff but he's getting
better. Then we contacted lots of people and met some great
prospects!
Saturday- we had correlation with our
ward mission leader Antonio and it went well. Then that evening, we
taught Andrew, from Nigeria, and he promised us he would come to church at the
beginning of December. He's awesome though. Then we passed by some people
and found a great new prospect named July, she seems cool. Then we were
able to teach our awesome investigator Silvina, from bolivia. She just
doesn't know which church do join, because her daughter is pushing her to join
her other one, but she really likes ours too. We invited her to pray to know
what path to take in life and promised that god would answer her.
Sunday- it was good. It rained a
lot. We had gone early to go to church with one of our investigators, but
she didn't answer so we were bummed, but we had good meetings. The rest
of the evening wasn't that exciting.
Well i hope with thanksgiving coming
up, people our thinking of what they are thankful for in their lives. I sure am
grateful for a ton of things, more than anything, the comfort and peace I feel
because I know I feel like i have been able to strengthen my relationship with
god. I'm incredibly grateful for the mission, nothing has been better for
me in my life. The miracle of my mission is just the fact that i'm on it,
because I have gained a testimony of my faith and of Jesus Christ. I hope
all people will think about how grateful they are for the blessings god has
given them.
