Hey Everyone!!
So this week went a lot better than last week! Even though i feel like more
people shut the doors on us this week we were able to work better because my
comp wasn't feeling sick this week!!
So on Tuesday we had district meeting that went really well but in the
afternoon we didn't really end up having a good day but its okay because on
Wednesday we got a full days work in and all went really well! We were able to
visit almost all the people we had planned to visit and that day we could really
see the blessings it was awesome!!
Thursday went all right i guess.. Thursday morning the Zone leaders just
showed up to our room out of the blue and had a study visit with us and then we
went on splits with them for an hour in our area and all in all it went really
well! Thursday night we had ward missionary night and we had a night where the
members and who ever wanted brought a plate of food that was natural to Peru
and they explained a little bit about it and then everybody got to eat some of it
at then end... Before all the members got to eat though they called us, the
missionaries, up to try some things first... Well lets just say i don't like some
of the plates that were up there so i tried a few things and basically waited
around for my comp to try them for me haha.. I thought they were going to bring more food and have a better
variety but in the end it turned out pretty well and we even had some
investigators there too!
Nothing much happened on Friday and then on Saturday we had a pretty good
day and to top it all of at night we had a session of our Stake conference and
President Williams gave a talk and also Elder Taylor Godoy an area 70 came and
gave a talk too! All in all it went really well!
On Sunday we were pretty stoked because we had a couple investigators who
promised that they were going to come to church this week with us and it was
going to be even easier for them to come because it was stake conference and it
started at 10 instead of 8! When we went to their houses to pick them up and go
to stake conference they ended up making excuses and at the end of everything
nobody ended up coming to church... That seems to be our biggest struggle right
now is that none of the investigators will come to church.. They put up any
excuse they can find not to go.. Elder Waddell spoke to us a little while ago
and told us that a way we could get the people to come to church was helping read
the Book of Mormon and feeling the spirit so we have starting leaving a lot more
invitations to read certain chapters of the Book of Mormon but whenever we go to
the investigators houses they never have read what we left them.. So were having
trouble with that no too.. They don't want to come to church and they don't want
to read the Book of Mormon either.. Sometimes it can be hard but just got to
keep enduring!!
In spite of the difficulties i love this work!! Its awesome to be here in
Peru helping people and its worth all the trials and difficulties! I know that
God has a plan for us and wants the family to be together forever! God has
given us the way to achieve eternal happiness through the Gospel of Jesus
Christ!
Love,
Elder Jarman
