Learning and Growing

Mba´tekopio che familia kuera!!!!

 

Things are goin well here in tres bocas. We had an awesome zone conference this last week. It was all about focusing on the attributes of Christ in ourselves and changing ourselves to help out others. We also focused on teaching the people and not lessons. The gospel touches different people in different ways and it is our calling to be able to listen to the spirit and adjust to what God wants this person to hear in that moment. So you know how on your mission some times you have to do something a bit different to invite or have someone talk to you so we were teaching a friend of ours who is Ricardo; he was outside of his friends house who we also know, who also is named Ricardo. The ricardo inside would pop out his head and make fun of the ricardo with us for talking to us and just being distracting. so having seen them playing pool in the room outside i said to the one inside ¨hey if i beat you in pool you gotta listen to us for 20min¨ he agreed. The best and fastest pool game i have every played and it was an amazing lesson and opened them all up to listen to us more and take our message more seriously.

 

This week has also been full of bdays (dario), service, moving rocks painting roofs, cutting trees all of the great ol stuff. Being able to serve a mission is truely the biggest blessing that i have ever received, i have grown so much and am able to grow just a ton. I am a completely different and better person because i am here in che retá pora (missing a squiggle line on the r) i love paraguay i love my mission i love this gospel even more. I met an RM who was an amazing missionary he told us of what he has learned and everything else you can just tell. the sad thing is that he has been inactive for the last year. this gospel will always be apart of my life and nothing can take me away from the gospel of Jesus Christ because that is the source of our true happiness. Whatever we are doing if we focus more on Christ it will get better. Put what we want to the side and do what God wants the we will learn so much.

 

I gotta go. the storm put out all of the lights so we are doing internet late today and gotta get off by 6 to go and work. i love you all and pray for you daily

 

love
