This week has been killer.
Hemet is still the same, but just a lot of rain and colder weather this week. My new comp, Elder Bailey, is an awesome missionary to work with. He was in Puerto Rico for 4 months or so before the storm and then was serving in Moreno Valley for 6, so he is about at his year mark. He has been helping me a lot to improve my Spanish and I've been helping him get used to the area.
We have been working hard, contacting a lot of people in our area. We started teaching quite a few people too, but couldn't get anyone to sit in the pews with us this Sunday. Todo va a estar bien! With that, we are going to work more with the members and just keep on praying for these people.
We did have some success getting a less active family back at church this week though! We will be going by this family again later this week, and they told us that they would invite their neighbors who aren't members to listen to a lesson.
There is a good chance that we get our smart phones on Friday, so we are pumped for that. I guess there will be an update on that next week!
The greatest lesson I learned this week is to just open my mouth. I have been working on it continually, but there were certain situations this week where we could of just ended a contact, but instead, we share a scripture and it softens the heart of the people we are talking to.
I have been reading in 3 Nephi this week and have read the first few chapters of when Christ came to the Americas. The chapter that stuck out the most to me this week is 3 Nephi 13 where Christ teaches the Nephites how to pray. It's so important to be having sincere prays, so that we can teach our investigators and all those we teach by example.
Hope everyone has a great week.
