This
week’s been a bit rougher then the past few. I’ve been sick since Wednesday,
and inside for most of the time, and the weather is rainy, and a bunch of stuff
has fallen through, but, through it all, it’s still been a really productive
week. We’ve been able to really see the hand of the Lord this week, and the way
I’ve been able to see His hand the most has been through my companion.
One
of my favorite scriptures is Mosiah 2:17, "when ye are in the service of
your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God". Well, as a
missionary, Elder Noovao already is in the service of God, but then to top it
off he’s taken really good care of me, and even more than that, he’s done a ton
of work in our area. On Friday, I took a good five hour nap trying to sleep off
a fever, and when I woke up, he showed me the pass by plans he made for every
investigator in our area book. Then, the next thing I know is he was studying
the language. He didn’t miss a beat in the work, but just kept plowing ahead
while I’m trying to get better. It’s been really neat to see. He has such a big
heart, and he’s dedicated it to the Lord. It’s all because of him that we still
had a lot of lessons.
Other
than that, I don’t have much to say about this past week. We have unfortunately
lost contact with the reference from our ward mission leader, and so hopefully
we will be able to talk to her this week but we’ll have to wait and see. We did
however find a bunch of great people to start teaching, and today while we were
walking in the old part of town buying stuff, a guy stopped us and asked us if
we could teach him and his wife. Apparently the missionaries had been teaching
them a while ago, and he wants us to go by again, so that was pretty neat.
We´re finding a ton of work to do here, even after all the work we have done
already. I love this area, and this work.
Love,
Elder Dixon
