This week was really great!!! The
work is picking up in our area a little, and it feels really great. Want to
know why? Because we have turned our focus on the menos activos and conversos
recientes. Because of that we got a new friend to teach!! We almost had three,
because we went to visit a menos activa lady, and she had three friends she
invited to come listen. Two of them had other stuff they had to do so they only
stayed there for about 10 minutes, but we got a return visit with Jaime! Only
bad part is, well, he is moving to Madrid in about a week....but he has come to
church, and we are going to go eat at a members tonight, and he is going to
come with us. It's really great. Visiting menos activos and conversos recientes
is a really effective way to find new people to teach.
Also, this week one cool thing that I
learned is that I need to stop focusing on what we haven't done, and instead realize
what we HAVE done. Example: this week I was feeling bad because we only had 8
member present lessons. And then I realized we have had 10 with less
actives/recent converts, and 2 Other lessons. That's a 20 lesson week! In Zaragoza,
that was always our goal, was to have a 20 lesson week, and we did it this
week!!! Even though we didn't hit the mission goal of 12 member presents, we
still had great successes, and that is part of why this week was so great.
Also, I wanted to tell all of you
that if you haven't already, go to mormon.org and watch the video on there..in Spanish
its called "gracias a el", which means "Thanks to Him", but
idk if that's the title in English. All I know is that yesterday if you went to
the homepage of YouTube it was the first video on there, so that was pretty
cool:) anyway, it is awesome!!!! Only 3 minutes, but incredible. Go watch it.
Now.
Anyway, that's pretty much it!!!
Love you all!!
