another good transfer has gone by and i cannot believe the end is so near..... i remember thinking, shoot, im gonna be a missionary for ever!better get used to it. well. i dont know if i ever got used to it. im amazed more and more every day, i learn more and more everyday, and im still learing to master this missionary stuff, but here it is. 6 more weeks. AND ISTILL LACK SO MUCH!!!!! i guess that is why God gave us 100 years to learn and not just18 months. thank goodness.
well we had a good week.
some highlights.
Cezar has A DATE!!!!!! una fecha bautismal. he accepted a date for the 25 opf oct. let me tell you, he was athiest (spling?) (ateo? someone who doestnt believein god. no se en ingles...) anyways. and then we taught him about our loving heavenly father and how he gives us purpose to life and now he ispraying every night and wants to repent of past errors he commited and is willing to do what ever it takes. o sea... BAUTISMO! yesss so he is PROGRESSSING a TOOOON. we are pretty excited about that. its investigators like him that make me feel like ya. im doing my job. called to serve.
Jesus and his daughterts are also coming a lot great. we watched the book of mormon cartoons about abinidi with them yesterday. we showed up to their house and they were cleaning, we asked what are you cleaning for ? they said the FHE we are having tomorrow! they are so excited for the FHE we are having to night with our pensionistas family. its gonna be good. we are teaching lesson two. and WE ARE STOKED! i LOOOOVe being a missionary. its seriouslyu the BEST.
so this transfer, found out that Hermana Rejala (my daughter) is TRAINING!!!!! that makes me ABUELITA!!! (grandama)!!!!!! super excited for her. and she is STILL in the same zone so we can still do work visits with them to see how they are doing. ill send a 3 generation pic when the granddaughter comes. hehehehhpretty stoked about that. hermana rejala came up to me with a camera last night and started filming me. i was so confused. then she told me that she was training and i flipped! i was so stoked for her! and she got it all lllllll on film. that little buger... so fun thought. so excited! I LOVE MY MISSIONARIES!
we didnt go to church yesterday. it was elections week.
it was wierd. preach my Gospal says "when a nation forgets God, it grows weak and will fall". i saw yesterday why this is a 3 world country, because even though they are alllll catholic, they dont know God. they dont truly love him. he comes second to them. and it. is. sad.
but im am super excited for general conference next sunday. my heart and ears and mind will be open.
last monday the APs called hermana bills and i up and asked us if we would participate in a workout video for the mission. what the???? so 6 missionaries, 3 sisters and 3 elders alll got together and made a cardio and stretches video that they are going to burn for the WHOLE MISSION! my legacy will remain and ill be known as the super flexible yoga fenatic sister missionary. i was the lead in the yoga stretches portion of the video and my companion the cardio guru. she loves crossfit. she teaches me cross fit workouts in the morning. so when i get home we can watch my strange work out video and laugh at me together. itll be fun.
well. the mission is still sucha sacred experience. i have truly grown to Know my savior and my Father in heaven more thisweek. as i repent daily and feel of his grace and mercy DAILY.
food for thought.
what is the difference in believe and know. and how do you overcome the beliefe barrier and KNOW?
that is wehat my studies and prayers have consisted of this week. i want a better KNOWLEDGE. i feel like i firmly believe, but i need to KNOW. and what am iwilling to do to truly KNOW.and have a knowledge of each gospal principle.
the gospal is truly restored and it is true. and the savior lives.
we are so blessed.
and that, i feellike i KNOW.
the work is great. i am happy. i love my calling. and i love peru.
and i LOOOVE you all
con amor
hermana gonzales
