So this will be a double week report from your friendly neighborhood missionary. So this week was pretty good I´m not going to lie! We had a fun time looking around for people in the burning sun! Wow it was hot this week for some weird reason. So this past week we were walking around all normal and then we walked by a soccer court (it´s made of cement so it has to be a court) and the kids there all asked me where I was from and they all thought it was SO COOL that I was from America. It was the funniest thing because there were so many little kids gathered around me and my companion. And now every time I pass by there I find one of those kids and they always say hi. What a great missionary opportunity. This week I had my first interviews as a district leader for baptisms in the district. Really interesting stuff I almost messed it up! haha but don´t worry I fixed it. So there is a missionary mom here in my area and my companion once asked her if she felt alone. And she said that she didn´t feel alone at all! That gave me a little comfort because you guys back home don´t have to feel alone. I thought that was nice of God to give me that experience. So there was something really really really interesting that happened this week. We were walking all normal and I look to the side and up the street a little and there was a total gangsta with a rifle chillin on his shoulder . . . . . . I didn´t feel like I was going to die or anything but I sure thought HOW COOL! so normal. So this week we had a lot of oranges to eat and one that I ate had a lot of seeds and I spat out one of the seeds off to the side and it made it into a bucket. Naturally I had to say buckets.
So this week we got a baptism and I was really happy to have that blessing from God. She turned 9 the day before her baptism so that means she was a convert baptism. I am not going to complain at all. And the thing that I really enjoyed this week was even thought someone has struggles does not meant he gives up and doesn´t want to bless someone. We talked to a person this week and he mentioned that he was going to be blessed because he was a bad guy. That is so not true. God wants to bless you but when we are disobedient he can´t give us a reward. That is why he loves it when we follow the commandments. It gives him the opportunity to bless us! I keep working every day to make myself worthy of his blessings and want every day to be happy. I will someday reach the point of happiness no matter what. But when I say that I know that God would just give me a trial and then i would develop the skill. Because he wants us to work for our gifts so that we don´t forget them easily. I know that God knows what we need and how we can get it and keep it. We just need to trust him and what he´s doing so that we can grow. The greatest challenges were given to the strongest soldiers.
