I hope you everyone is having a WONDERFUL summer . . . oh yeah, I forgot, it`s super cold where you`re all at. Hehehehe . . . but seriously, I think I would prefer the cold weather right now. If you look up the weather in Lima Peru, it`ll tell you about 75 degrees, well the area that I`m at is about 85 degrees with 60% humidity . . . so . . . it`s still pretty nice, lol. I`m sweatin, but I`d rather be sweating than freezing.
So, the most awesome thing that happened this week . . . well, there were a LOT of awesome things that happened this week, but anyway, our mission president gave us a new standard that we have to teach a minimum of 32 lessons in a week. Some companionships have been doing awesomely with this, teaching about 40 lessons every week . . . I don`t know why but I have struggled so much to even reach the miminum. All week long we were working straight from lunch at 1 until we got home at 9 or 9:30 at night. Hungry, tired and with our feet about to fall off, and almost nothing it seemed at times, to really show for it. Only having taught 3 or 4 lessons (which, in our mission, isn`t a lot). Well, this week, on saturday, we were at 22 lessons, so during our daily planning on saturday night, we made the goal to teach 10 lessons in one day. The most I`d ever taught in one day was 6. Well, we worked super hard, we went on splits, we prayed really hard. We searched for people to teach, and with a lot of FAITH and a lot of PRAYER we were able to teach 10 lessons. Something that I realized I really need to work on is just having faith and relying on the Lord to lead us where to go and who to talk to and what to say. When an appointment fell through, minutes later, the Lord placed someone else in our path who was willing to listen. It was a great day yesterday and I`m super excited to report to the mission president that we taught 35 lessons or even more. It`s gonna be awesome.
I hope everyone is having a great month of january . . . I usually am not a fan of this month . . . february . . . tan poco . . . neither . . . My english is horrible. My spanish isn`t that fantastic either, but hey, it`s all good. Anyway, I love you all so much! Remember who you are and what you stand for! lol :)
