Hello Hello!! How is everyone doing?? Can you believe it is almost May? Where is the time going! This week flew by so fast I am so shocked it is already Monday again!
Last week was full of new things! On Monday after getting groceries and cleaning, we went and visited the Laconsay Family! They live around about 7 different members in the ward so they are not new to the word "Mormons" but they were very curious about our religion and beliefs! We talked with them about the Restoration and what that is, why its important, and how we can be blessed from it. Sister Laconsay had so many questions that were so good. We are hoping that we can go back and talk to them more often when they arent at work!
On Tuesday we had a Zone Training! The whole zone met up in the Lingsat chapel and we all shared ideas with one another about the work and how to better help people come closer to our Savior. Elder Tavita gave a workshop about the little things that the devil tries to do to keep the Spirit from abiding within ourselves! He used the example of
money,
music,
phones,
and sleeping in! (Satan got me real good on that last one when i was younger during the Summer!)
Using money for the "want" instead of the "need" can put a heavy burden on all of us. Especially all you College students reading this, you are not alone!! hahaha.
Music is awesome and I hope I can remember all the lyrics to High School Musicals soundtrack when im home,,, but it is distracting as well! I think almost everyone has had that feeling of "should i play this song right now?... moms home... probably shouldnt.." And thats okay! Hahah none of us are perfect but we need to remember that music puts thoughts into our minds, especially words. And those words tend to come out of our mouths when we listen to the music too often.
Phones-Self Explanatory!
Sleeping In- Now as a missionary this might be more applicable. Missionaries wake up every morning at 6:30 am in order to exercise and prepare food before studying and going out to proselyte! But as a normal civilian, being late to work, school, or to McDonalds before they stop selling Egg Mcmuffins at 10 can be very stressful and might make others mad at you. causing tension and driving away the feeling of Gods love -The Spirit-.
I loved Elder Tavita's workshop and his idea to think for 3 days about the little things that you are doing that is keeping the Spirit away. Then the hardest part, Be humble enough to accept that, and change it!
We all had lunch as a zone after the training which was very delicious! Everyone brought food for a pot-luck-like-lunch! Masarap!
The rest of the week was good too! Our new Ward Mission Leader help MCM on Friday and a lot of the members of the ward came too! Nanay Teresita came to church again this week and has also progressed so much in her understanding of the Gospel and the Spirit! I love the members of the Ward here and the people I am around! I am also grateful for the Spirit of God in guiding each one of us on our quest through life back to our Heavenly Father.
I hope you all have a great week! Dont forget to read the Book of Mormon! :)
