Hola a todos!
--
¿Qué
tal? ¿Cómo están? Esta semana para mí ha sido bueno, ocupado y triste y
muy feliz. ¡Como se cambia su actitud durante la semana!
Well, this has been a good week, a long week, a sad week and a very happy week. The normal pretty much. Other than one thing...
The
sector is doing better! Friday I went with Elder Yangali on divisions
and that went well, we contacted some people and taught some too. We
went to visit yesterday also, and first off we knocked on the door where
we´d contacted a 10 year old girl who was the only one home on Friday
when we passed by, so we came on Sunday when she said her parents would
be home. She answered the door again and said she´d go get her parents.
Then
her dad came with the pamphlet we´d given his daughter on Friday, and
told us that he´d been a Mormon before, that we were new to the area and
that he wanted nothing to do with us. As we were trying to ask why he
didn´t want to talk to us he just stepped back in his house, said that
he wasn´t Mormon and that he was Catholic and then slammed the door in
our faces... We went on, I thought we should maybe go back like some
missionary stories talk about, I mentioned to Elder Lewis this idea and
he turned right around and we knocked again... And nothing. So we kept
going.
But later that night we visited with a
young man whom some members had presented us to and had a very spiritual
lesson and we have another appointment next week with them. We´re very
hopeful for these two brothers Jim and Eric.
On
Monday we went touring the downtown historical center and we went to
one shop where they insisted that we put on Waiki (Incaish) garb and we
got pictures. We also visited the 12-angled stone, which isn´t anything
much to look at unless you realize how exact the Incas had to cut each
rock to line them up like that. (photo where I´m next to a rock wall)
The wall is still original Inca. We also got a tour of the Marriott
hotel which was super cool. (free!) And then we went up to the White
Christ on the hill. I learned this time that it was a gift from
Palestinians who had been treated well by natives when they stayed in
Cusco, they shipped it over seas to put it on the hill. (Elder Lewis has
these pictures, so I'll get them when I can)
During
the week there was a lot of stuff going on, but it´d going good.
Basically I´m seeing that the more I strive to be like Christ and remove
bad habits and even not great practices I feel better and am feeling
the Spirit more. So, I invite you to take a habit that you have and
would like to change, see what other habit(s) you can replace it with
that are good, and ask God to help you change them out. And you´ll see
that it happens, not all at once, but it will. And you´ll feel better
because you´ll be better.
Have a great week!
Hurrah for Israel!
