Worldwide Missionary Broadcast

Hola a todos!

Esta semana recibimos noticias sobre cambios que van a cambiar todo el mundo! Será un gran tiempo ahora en la obra del Señor, el horario y los indicadores claves están cambiando y jamás será lo mismo. Estoy animado!

Alright, for those that don't speak Spanish I'll tell you what that says in a little bit. :P Trying to give incentive to learn Spanish, because you won't believe it if you use a translator. :P :D jajaja

Anyway, this week was great! The sector is progressing, we're finding more people who are progressing well and we're working with some people who are coming closer and closer to Christ. One sister, Ana, she wants her daughter to listen to us as well and her daughter wants to as well. Ana really wants to be happy with her family, it makes me so happy! Taylor is a 10 year old boy and he's interested and progressing really well too. Samuel and Melani, father and daughter are listening as well and she knows that it's true, he has some doubts, but we're helping them.

I'm working on being a better missionary each day and being more exactly obedient, still failing a little, but realizing that it's all a process still. That's helped a lot after reading an article about forgiving the person in the mirror from the Liahona in April 2013. It's a good one that one.

There was also a couple big changes announced in the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast on Wednesday. First the missionary council (Elder Oaks, Elder Bednar, Elder Anderson and a couple Seventies and Sister Oscarson) taught us about Teaching Repentance and Baptizing Converts. Answered questions to teach us, so it answered a couple questions for what I need to be doing better. I also studied today and found more of the relation between repentance and baptism. I think it has to do with sanctification. We become clean through repenting, but then we want to become more, and baptism by fire leads us to that, sanctification. Where we become set apart from our old selves of sin. It's really cool.

Anyway, announcement! The schedule is changing and we'll only have 4 key indicators in the world! Baptisms, people with baptismal dates, I in sacrament meeting and new Is. I like it! It'll be so much easier to focus on our slogan, teach repentance, baptize converts. And I've got pictures of the schedule. The difference as I understood is that we have so much time to do all the things we need to, but there's no 8AM study, there's studies and everything before leaving at 10AM. For example, but yeah. It'll be great. We're still waiting for how it'll be in the mission Peru Cusco, but I'm looking forward to this revelation taking part in my life.

The rest of what's happening, it's hot, that's normal. People mow their lawns with weed whackers or machetes. I finished the first personal journal in my life on Thursday and my second church study journal. Life is going well and my companion is really helping me become more like Christ and doing the work more diligently. We're working hard and having a good time in the service o the Lord!

Have a great week!
