We worked so freakin hard this week. We are getting better at planning so our days are more effective but somehow we still end up walking up an outrageous number of lomas but hey thats missionary life.
this weekend there was a ward dance! we were already at the chapel teaching piano class and they show up with big speakers and 10 boxes of corn flakes and like 8 cartons of eggs...we were trying to figure out what kind of dancing games they could play with eggs and corn flakes....and we just couldnt figure it out. Turns out they were the prizes for the people who danced. We´re very practical here in Biancheri! They turned on the music and we stayed for about two songs to watch the members dance but it was killing us both not being able to join in so we went home and danced to some efy music in the house haha.
Hermano C and Hermana A and her 2 daughters came to the dance and also to church on sunday, wahoo! and they loved it:) We have being trying hard to take members with us when we teach them and its payed off because they have completely taken over. Someone goes to pick them up, someone else drives them home, someone takes him to priesthood and her to RS, and one member has helped us out so much with the marriage. Yesterday a member from the stake came to do the medical exams in their house and this week they can get married!! It has been 5 months since we first contacted Hermano C walking home from the chino and I dont think anyone imagined that they would progress and make it to this point. We taught them again yesterday and it was so great to hear her testimony. We were teaching the word of wisdom and we started out by talking about the blessings of obeying commandments...like the law of chastity. What difference could a piece of paper really make if they´re already living together? But she´s seen it herself that as soon as they started the process to get married, everything else has started to work out. Now they are getting more help from the government and she found a new job that allows her to come to church. A commandment she rejected the first time we taught it (she really likes coffee) she accepted easily because shes seen the blessings that come from obedience!
Thats what Ive learned in the mission and from my scripture study in these past few weeks. We will prosper to the degree that we obey. We obey because we love, not because we have to. Obedience applies to every single part of our lives. Obedience=freedom=progression=
Hearing about Jozenn the Chozenn was tough. She was one of the first people to make me feel welcome in Fort Collins, an irreplaceable part of my CSU family, and the best powderpuff and ward bball teammate ever! Grateful beyond measure for the Plan of Salvation and my love is with my family in FoCo. #horsetoothhottiesforever
Transfers again this week! Its been one of my favorites and Im praying that I´ll be able to take on whatever comes in this next transfer!
love,
