Keep going

Hola a todos!

Espero que su semana fue tan bien esta ultima, y también que han aprendido muchísimo, pero por medio de un medio tranquilo, viviendo el Evangelio.

I hope that your week was so great this last one, and also that you've learned so much living the Gospel!

This week has been a real ride. Yesterday we decided with the sisters in our sector of Sicuani that we'd split our area so that we can focus more and not walk from one end to the other end all within the same day, multiple times. So now we've got our side of the river as well as behind the hospital, they've got the rest. We're giving them a lot of the people we were teaching, but we all feel that it will be for the best, that the Lord will be able to work more effectively now.

Last Monday we had a 4/5 zone activity (sorry Espinar) it was really fun, we played a few games with the fútbol and volleyball. And for the people that went to the school I went to, we also played Koosh! That was fun to play again, the other missionaries liked it too, other than Elder Sanabria won three times in a row. But that was a fun activity, at the very end the food finally was cooked, next time we might bring gasoline to start the fire... Or different charcoal, we'll see... :D

We've got a lot of people progressing, Sharon and Ener whom we found last week are really interested. Edith and Annel her daughter are also progressing well for baptism, they really want to be baptized, just lack a couple requirements like all the lessons. Other people are going good too, but we're giving a lot to the sisters, it helps us remember before we get transferred that they're not "our people" rather they're the Lord's.

I'm learning to be more humble. We can be something, such as humble, or nice, or charitable, but we need to remember that until we are perfect like Christ, we still have to improve. Which means we can recognize an attribute of Christ that we are developing, that we've developed more than others, but that we still need to develop.

The thing that's always been the test, is to put in practice the things that we've already known. When we came to Earth, we had already known everything we needed to, but we forgot it all, according to the great and grand design of Heavenly Father. And here in the Earth, we learn a lot, but the task is to put it into practice, just like it's always been. We can do it, we just need to actually do it.

So, I invite you that you can think of one thing that you can do to act this week. And do it.
