final semana de cambio 1 (Semana 11)

Zona Andalucia


YO YO YO

Wow I find myself saying this every week but time really does just fly by! This is week 6 of my first cambio. It's crazy to say that because I can distinctly remember my first few days here like it was yesterday. Just straight up crazy.
Ok so this past week was a pretty good week. It has been getting cooler, like 15ish grados, and it has rained almost everyday so that's been fun. Wet and cold and always working which is actually really awesome! I am loving learning how to work here and am really really grateful for this opportunity.
This past week we met a young familia con una niña that has 2 years. The dads name is Carlos and we met him trying to find a member named Victor. So when we started talking to Carlos we were asking him questions about Victor and when we could find him and stuff like this but then he says to us, yeah Victor was talking to me about yall's iglesia and then said that he really wants to learn more. He said that he wants to become closer to our Heavenly Father and wants to rely more on Him and Jesucristo. We talked a little with him, set up una cita, and left cause we had to get back to our casa cause it was late. As we were walking my compañero y yo just looked at each other, fist bumped, and asked what just happened. It was so awesome. SO we then came back on Sabado and had a little lesson and invited them to church, we weren't expecting them to actually go because we had only talked this one time but their response was amazing. Before we had even told them the time or location they asked what they needed to wear. They even had something but they decided to move it to another day just to go. We ended the lesson and Hno Carlos prayed, and he offered one of the sweetest prayers ever. It was also the first time he has prayed in his life. He is such an awesome dude.
Well today we had our last zone activity and played some futbol, basquetbol, and hand ball. Then ate some delicious campenchanas and took a zone pic. Its weird because its not gonna be the same next week but it'll be just as awesome.
Well I don't have as much time this week but want to just leave a quick thought. This past week we had Zone Conference and talked about Jesucristo and about Christlike attributes. We were challenged to pick one and study and help us develop. So I studied charity, or the pure love of Christ. As I was studying I realized that Charity is like fe in that it leads to action. When you have charity and want to show it you do it by showing it. I just want to share 2 verses of the Book of Mormon with y'all real quick
Mosiah chapter 18 verse 9
"...mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places.....that ye may may have eternal life."
Mosiah chapter 2 verse 7
"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."
Always try ways to show your love through your actions!!
 

Well thats all for this week!!
Love and miss y'all lots!!
