There are so many feelings that are good into the mission. Frustration. Joy. Peace. Everything about the mission is difficult, but it is totally worth it.
Not much has changed since last week. We have a ton of investigators we have been teaching. We have one lady named Bibiana Ruiz that has a baptismal date for the 11th of November. Her husband and two daughters are already members. When we went over to teach her she explained to us that she was ready to be baptized. It was an awesome experience to see her making that decision for herself. It is awesome when we are able to change peoples lives, but when they choose for themselves it makes it 100 times better.
This week we had interviews with Presidente Resek and through my interview I was able to get to know him a little more. He explained to me the importance of the Book of Mormon and why when we teach about it when we make contact with people. He also explained that The Book of Mormon testifies of the Atonement of Jesus Christ more than any other book. Throughout my reading I have focused to see how important the Atonement is to me and how it is found all over the Book of Mormon. Presidente Resek has helped me so much and is really loving. He always encourages us to be better and work harder.
Yesterday, in Argentina, it was Mothers Day!! Because of this, Presidente let us Skype our families!! It was such an awesome opportunity. Though it has only been two months it was great to see that my family is doing well. (They all need haircuts though!! ha ha)
I am grateful for this gospel. The mission is hard but that is the way it is supposed to be. This gospel expects people to change, and if I don't change on the mission, the people won't change either. I know the Atonement is real and the Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ! This gospel is everything and can help us with anything!
