So today I just want to
share something that hit me this week in our weekly planning session. So
the assistants came and gave us a little training and they talked about
how it's really important to work with members but we need to put in
our own iniciative too. We have been really focused on working with our
ward members but we can't forget to go out and contact too....It that
moment it all kind of hit me. Like we know that references from the
members are super awesome and we always try to get references because
they usually end up being really good and awesome and prepared people
but these people alone will not fill up our teaching pool. We have to
find a balance because if we contact too much, we don't get to our
lessons but if we only go see the members and they don't give us
references? What are we supposed to do then? The example came to me of
you know when you're playing mario kart and there are those little boxes
that have the surprizes in them that like help you go faster and win
and stuff? Well that's like working with the members-that's like getting
the mystery boxes with really great prizes in them but when you're
playing, if you get a ton of those prizes and never use them, or don't
even use your own iniciative to get going, the prizes don't help you at
all...did that make sense? Like we need to work and contact so that as
we go along, we can receive these prize references from the Lord and we
will truly start advancing. Anyway, that was something that came to my
mind this week.
Also
we have an investigator named Boris, he's super great but he has some
challenges that we are helping him get over. He had some word of wisdom
issues but a few weeks ago we had made a plan with him to help him quit
drinking and last week, everything went well but this weekend we called
him...and guess what...he had drank...our hearts sunk...there went his
baptismal date for the 29th of October...but I know God has a plan for
everyone. I could really see the change in him this week as we went
literally every day. He's making progres but he needs more help. So,
please pray for him! He's a good guy who just needs some prayers! Muchas
Gracias!
