This week was full of ups, and full of downs.. A mission is amazing.
I don’t think there is any better way of finding out every single one of our
weaknesses than this. This week, [some members] got back together and are well
all over again!!! WOO HOO!! But, 2 more families left us and said they don’t
want to accept us in their house again because of rumors they heard or from
pastors of their church. It’s sad and crushing, but we keep our heads up
knowing the Lord has other people prepared and waiting.
Yesterday we didn’t have a single investigator in the church
and it was heart-breaking as well.
This week was more than difficult.. all but 4 compromissos
that we had this week fell through.. usually we have 6 a day, and we ended the
week with 4. It’s sad. We love these people as soon as we see them and
automatically are willing to kill ourselves in work for them, to do everything
in our power to make sure we help them in some way.
This week really made me think of Christ and how people
treated him. He did everything perfect, he slaved to save people, and in the
end he suffered the greatest pain because of the love he had for us. In the
end, last night, we were tired and exhausted and ready for a new week, and continued
through the street. We were impressioned to walk a different road that was the
longer path towards our house.. so we went. On this road, we decided to knock
on a door (clap our hands) and talk with someone in a strange looking house.
Last night, after we were almost ready to give up and cry..
we believe we found our miracle. This woman is more than prepared, and
basically said she wanted to jump into the baptismal font. It’s true.. when we
do our part diligently, the Lord does His and the blessings come. Keep that in
mind. When we feel like we can’t go one more step, take 2 and the Lord will
catch you and carry you home.
This week we have multi-zone conference tuesday and then we’re
going to the temple afterwards!! WOOOOHOOOOOO! Next Monday I’ll probably email
later because we have a meeting with Presidente Del Guerso. He’s going to talk
for the last time for the entire mission, then afterwards [a sister] is making
lunch for us! Love you all and hope you have a great week!
com amor,
Sister Bido
