Happy freedom day friends!
Nothing too crazy has gone down in the last week or so... Just a new
mission president, I'm training a brand new missionary, and I kicked
my zone leader while playing beach soccer and broke my toe. Okay so a
lot has happened. Smith is leaving me and my baby is flying in from
Mexico tomorrow and I'll pick her up Wednesday! Pray for her sanity
because she is getting a mother like me.
As for my broken toe and new mission president, we had a big meeting
to get to know President and Sister McAteer. They are converts from
Canada are pretty dang amazing. The assistant to the president got up
to start the big meeting and ended it with saying: "and that's what
missionary work is all a-boot, isn't that right Hermana Eldredge." (If
you didn't get that it's cause they're Canadian and I'm in a boot)
After President McAteer was talking about trials that come with the
work and he said "sometimes you'll have bad days! You'll get door
slams! You'll get yelled at! You'll kick your zone leader and break a
toe!" Nothing like being put on blast in front of the whole mission
and new presidency.
This past Sunday we had our 2nd Spanish group meeting, it was a
success! This week Elder Thomas (the zone leader I kicked) gave us a
talk by Gene R. Cook on faith it was an answer to companionship
prayers. We have been a searching on what to do because our first two
meetings we had no investigators and barely any members. But Elder
Cook speaks of a story of his mission where they were asked to raise
money for the new temple. They set the goal with the Lord, but they
also had a "if not" plan. They would raise the money for the temple
but if they fell short they would pay the rest of it themselves. So we
decided we would do that with the group. We would do everything
possible to get members and investigators there, but if no
investigators show we would teach the members on missionary work. We
said many prayers and worked our hardest this week and we didn't even
have to use the if not plan, because a family we are teaching came! It
was a total miracle all made possible by the Lord.
Faith is the first step of the gospel because it is so necessary for
everything we do. If we have faith in the lord over our own selves, we
don't have to worry if things don't go our way. If we are submissive
and diligent and willing to do all He asks, we need not worry about he
outcome. He makes all the difference!
Los quiero!
