WEll first off as you can tell from the title is i have transfers...bleh. Wasnt too excited to find out especially considering Elder Mora and the other elders in our district are staying put. But anyways i dont know much right now but im off to Juarez. The ol city. Yep haha dont know my companion yet but i leave tommorrow i believe. Im gonna miss Elder Mora. He was a great trainer and im going to miss Lebaron. Kind of scared and nervous because my training is over and im no longer considered new but im excited for the challenge and we will see what happens...hahahhaa.
Anyways. I got all the packages!!! wow i was so happy hahah i got alot. I defs dont deserve it and im so so so so so thankful for all the support of you guys in my life. I really couldnt be more thankful and it is like my energy source here. Haha really cant wait to open them! ITs gonna be hard to bring the stuff to my next area though.. haha oh well ill have to make do.
Well Ill share a couple experiences from this week! Well first of all last monday we had our family home evenings and what not. As i mentioned last week is the Dádiva or He Is The Gift initiative by the church. So we started showing the video to members and to investigators for family home evenings. On monday we did THREE in one night. Which FYI is crazy haha. thats indeed quite alot. haha. But if you havent seen the video watch it. Wow i can definitely say i felt one of the stronger physical manifestations of the spirit. I felt... i dont even know but as we watched it and then testified of the Gift of the Savior...I felt.. Idk this gospel is true guys. I also got to play piano and do I Believe and Christ and I know That My Redeemer Lives!! Such a cool night.
On wednesday we went into it with the mindset of CONTACT EVERYONE about this intiative. Usually our goal for contacts everyday is 2. For this week specifically it was 10 everyday. Wednesday we GOT 30. Crazy. We had some of the young men help us and it defnitiely felt like an army of servants going forth to preach the word. I took 3 of the young with me and Elder Mora another few and we contacted for an hour and a half. Wow what an experience and really good for me to practice my confidence with spanish. haha cool stuff. I have also had the chance to share our traditions of Christmas Eve with people and they all love them
One other good thing is taht we finally got our hands on some nutella this week and ive basically just been drinking the stuff. So yea i havent changed one bit haha.
Another thing i have really been enjoying this week is reading the words of the latter day prophets through the ensign. I have been able to get my hands on a few copies and i must say they are quite refreshing and powerful.
One more cool thing this week was me and my comp really got along. We sensed transfers and we have been able to get along really well and what not and he was so happy to get his package from you guys!!! You are all the best. But This week i was having a hrad time recognizing the spirit and how i feel it specifically and how i can sift through my feelings and determine promptings and what not and i felt pretty terrible saturday. Saturday morning i refound one of my favorite scriputures ever. Moroni 7:41. It didnt have to do with the Spirit but the plainness and power of that verse hit me so hard that i teared up and that never happens. It was awesome. And of course we fasted and I bore my testimony in church and i felt really good and im gonna kill it today and leave this area on a AMAZING NOTE. So thankful for being sent here...and we will see what hpapens next.
Tell everyone i Love them!!!! Thanks for the prayers and tell andrew good job and continuar a seguir en mis pasos ;) Follow in my steps! good job with the piano!! PICS TO COME
TEAM MEDEIROS!!
