We had transfers!
My new companion is Elder Díaz!
He is from Chile and has about 16 months on the mission. we still live with the Zone leaders: Elder Amaya whonis from venizuela, and Elder Dias who is from brazil.
so since transfers ive spoken 2 or 3 licks of English!
Im still district leader in the same area on bikes and Im loving it!
My new companion served in this area about a year ago so at church i was introducing him to all the members but they were all like ohhhhh Elder diaz you're back!
I am very excited to be with Elder Diaz
Hes a great missionary im already learning tons from him!
One of the highlights from the week was saturday, so we have this sweet adorable abuela in the ward (well we got tons of em)
Anyway her name is sister moreira and her husband is not a member, everytime we go over there he scurries off into his own room!
Although a week or two ago we found out that the husband collects and fixes up old cars. Hes got 5 or 6 of em!!!
196osum toyota mark two
70s spitfire
60ssum datsun 280zx
A sweet old ford which I forget the name and a few others!
So on saturday we felt inspired to visit this sweet couple.
There they were, sitting on the porch having a nice chill!
We waved and greeted them, and sure enough there went the husband scurrying off! The sister stood up and chatted with us for a bit, she told us we she just got back from the temple she also noted how mucha privelidge it is to live so close to the temple, for her it takes 30-90 mins just to get to the LA temple. She expressed her love for the temple, (I Love the temple too! And its even more of a privilidge to have one in my back yard back in Utah!)
She also expressed how much she longed to be able share the temple with her sweetheart husband, this, broke my heart,,, so i asked: do you think your husband could show us his cars out back? (Cuz for those who know me well im obsessed with cars and trucks and breaking things and then fixing things,,,the sister knows this too!)
Anyway she jumped up and thought that was a fantastic Idea!!! She got so excited and gitty spun around and ran inside, than out came david! David and I talked eachother's ears off for 10-20 minutes about car sweetness!!! Even cooler was I was able to pull it off in spanish!
As we were talking the sister would poke her cute little head out to watch us, she had the biggest smile! We then got davids phone number which was a miracle and we might see some service hours in the next week.
Later at church we talked to the sister and she was excited to thank us for being able to talk to her husband,
Latet that sunday after Church Luis was Baptised!!! It was a great baptism, the baptismal room was PACKed with members supporting him!
Man! everyday I have so many awesome and great experiences! And I cant write em all here but I am learning so much! I am humbled everyday, and I make so many mistakes but thats how we learn!
Im loving this work! Its the best there is
Best things I learned this week
1:Magnify your calling
2:the best Leaders are the best Followers and supporters
3: if you always speak from the heart and be true to yourself aswell as those around you, life is good, life is fun, life is happy :)) people are happy
I listened to a talk this morning from Dallin H Oaks and he said something like: when we focus less on blessing our selves and more to bless the lives of others is when the revelation truly comes
Im grateful for this chance I have to bw a missionary here, its Hard a lot, but its so worth it! Im learning so much!
Almost 50xs a day we see people with frowny faces :( and as soon as we wave and say "hey have a great day!" It instintly changes that frown upside down!
I loving seeing people smile, all the stress lf the world just disapears when we simply breath, and smile :))
I love you all so much
Take care! God has a plan for EVERYBODY!
