a-ha

This week we travelled to Guadalajara, so we had 2 days without
lessons. We went up for Hna Rodriguez´ training for the new
missionaries, but it was just as good for me too. I learned lots, and
enjoyed it all! I even wonder if it was more beneficial for me or for
her.
 
On our way back to Vallarta, we had a companionship inventory (since
we have them once a week and didn’t have time the day before). It was
perfect timing because I was able to learn what she was thinking,
especially from the training we had received.
 
She told me that she finally understood why I had been insisted that
she learn the outline of the lessons (as the whole mission is required
to memorize) and learn how to do so many things and then also added
that she could see that it was also for the love that I had for her.
She told me that she was grateful to have me as my companion. I almost
cried, after feeling like she just wasn’t understanding or didn’t have
motivation, or I was a terrible trainer,  she finally had that a-ha
moment :) She´s understanding!!
 
It’s a great time being a missionary. :)
 
My testimony of fasting continues as I see the blessings of the Lord
each day from our fast last week. In finding quality investigators,
and actually progressing too! We haven’t had investigators come to
church since the time change of our services. Yesterday was a happy
day for us, because 3 came! Never doubt the power of a fast, it is one
of the most powerful tools we have to receive revelation!
 
Joaquin and his daughter Sofia have only been listening to us for a
week, but are a huge blessing from God. And to think that we were just
looking for a street (called tuna) and yelled to him asking the name
of the street, we then walked down the street and passed him, then we
thought to ourselves.. flying a kite with his daughter and almost one
year old son.. why would we give up the opportunity to contact them?
 
 The second time we visited him, after already have taught the
Restoration we asked him if he had been able to pray and receive an
answer to whether or not the BOM was true and if Joseph Smith was a
prophet.. he responded saying yes, and also mentioned how after
reading the pamphlet we left him with he more clearly understood that
importance of a restoration and the need for a prophet!! Good day,
very good day.
 
Only thing now, is that his wife isn’t a huge fan of him investigating
the church, so prayers for Joaquin and Sofia!
 
Love you all a million bajillion!
