Elder Hirst week 73
9:14 AM
Monday-
not too much, we just went shopping and found some great deals on suits (pics
to come) but unfortunately we have to get them tailored. But man we got such
good deals. Later that night most of all our plans fell through so we
didn't have too much
Tuesday-
We had district meeting and it went way well. I love our Swedish district
leader Elder Karn. Later that evening we taught one of our investigators
from Morocco. He told us the truth which is that he doesn't have
intentions to join the church, he just wants to learn, but he said he'll come
to church and he's read the Book of Mormon already quite a bit.
Wednesday-
we got to teach our new
awesome investigator Jorge. He's so awesome and such an awesome guy and
really loves meeting with us. His circumstances are super hard though so it'll
be hard for him to progress, but we know god will help him if he allows him
to. That evening we just focused on contacting everyone!! We talked to
like 80 people by the end of the night! Unfortunately, nobody seemed really
interested. We really made a push to focus on contacting Spaniards this
time but that didn't work out super well for us.
Thursday- we had weekly
planning. Then we went and taught Morrison. For Christmas, we
ordered him a set of Quad scriptures that he wanted. When we gave it to
him he was so happy. Then he had lots of friends there at the house and
we decided we would preach about the Book of Mormon to them. Lets just say none
of them were happy, and they began to completely argue and weren't happy with
our "other bible." Morrison was such a champ though, he defended his
testimony valiantly and tried to help us explain it. Later, we went by to
visit a member who just moved into the ward. She is from Peru and has two
daughters. We visited them and they seem very cool. Then we went to
the birthday of one of our members and investigators (who are friends) and had
a little family home evening/ birthday party thing. The best part is that
they just opened up a KFC here in Sevilla and that was the food that they
got. Also, we invited one of the less actives of our area and he came and
had a great time
Friday- that morning we went to
stop by some members who we have been working with to get references.
They gave us 9 references which is so awesome! The unfortunate part for us is
that 7 of the 9 references will live in the hermanas area so not a whole lot of
work for us, but it's still good. That evening we were able to meet with a
couple less actives and talk to many people in the street. We met one
really awesome lady from Peru
Saturday- that morning, we
did service for the best family which is unfortunately moving out of our ward
and to ecuador. We will miss antonio and Cecilia a ton. They literally are
shipping their entire house there, so we helped them pack and bring all the
stuff down to the truck. The Hermanas here helped us too. We were all
dead by the end, but Antonio's parents invited us over for a very very good
Spanish meal consisting of a great stew and salad. That evening we had
correlation with our ward mission leader and talked about how we can improve
less active and recent convert work here in Sevilla 2
Sunday- church was so awesome. We
had an investigator, Rosa, surprise us by just randomly showing up to
church. It was a cool miracle. We had stopped teaching her because she
just wasn't keeping commitments, but she finally came and she said it was
because on Friday she had made a conscious decision she would come, and right
as she did she got a call from a person she had been interviewed by for work
and she said she got the job! So she has decided it was God telling her he had
blessed her. So she came and liked it and we hope she keeps coming.
Sundays are always great days in the mission.
