Here it is
Well this week has been a whole new experience with my new
companion Elder Guzman. It has only been a week but I feel like we are working
harder and more importantly I feel like we are working together. It was quite
the change but we have great companionability and camaraderie. I feel
like I am actually making a diference in our investigators lifes. We have been
working on finding new ways to present the lessons to some of our investigators
whom we have been teaching for a long time. Right now We dont have anyone on
the verge of being baptized but I am not letting that get me down. We never
will know when heavenly father will drop a prepared investigator or less active
right in our way.
Looking back at how much I have changed from when I left my
home it is amazing. I was sitting in the gospel doctines class with one of our
investigators and realized that I was not straining to understand what the
teacher was talking about or teaching. It is amazing to me that in these short
four months I have grown so much mentally. I find that my problem solving
skills are faster and my reaction time is quicker and even my balance has
improved in the mission.
I have also seen major spiritual growth in my life for some
reasons I will get the urge to talk about something completely off topic but it
leads to a gospel doctrine that is close to the investigators life. I have a
much deeper knowledge of the scriptures too. yesterday our investigator was
talking about how she does not understand how everyone can be resurrected and
for the first time in my mission I had known exactly where to go in my
scriptures because I was already opened to the page! It was Alma explaining to
his son what the ressurrection means.
I would like to tell you how much moquegua has changed in my
time here. I feel like the entire mentality has changed profoundly. We have
become unified and we are working together as the zone of Moquegua.
From San Francisco,
