Hey Family.
30 Jan 2013
Every Monday, Saturday and sometimes Thursday as a missionary you have meetings. District
meetings, Zone meetings, and sometimes they call a special meeting with the
assistants to the president. This week we had all three!! And was assigned to
lead every single one .... ha.
There are 24
missionaries in my zone and everyone of us has something that we need to learn
to be able to become a better missionary. So every meeting we try and focus on
what we need as missionaries, and we prepare something new for them each time.
When I came into
the mission, it was a lot different. Instead of talking about obedience and
following the rules, they taught us how to teach and prepare a person for
baptism. For some reason that tradition went away. BUT WE"RE BRINGING IT BACK!
Haha. I feel that who I am as a missionary started in my first two transfers
with my trainer. I learned a ton and its because he just taught me how to teach.
In the meetings
that we have, my comp and I focus on the practices, questions, invitations and
commitments. I know all of those things work because I’ve seen people get
baptized! ha I’m really grateful to be called as a leader in the mission (even
though I think that my time is running out, well see). Because I can share what
I’ve learned and had success with and it seams that the one preparing to teach
actually gains as much as if not more than the one he is teaching.
This week has been
really different because we have done three intercambios (trade-offs). I have
hardly been in my area; but I’m having some fun with the other Elders and
people we meet and teach, and doing good.
Arturo really like
the conference. He was amazed to think that Elder Nelson is an Apostle! I think
that it made believing our message a lot more easy for him to understand.
Love all of you
