This week was packed with good and bad things, like every week, but I really loved this week!
I'll start with a week ago. I missed an email due to a lot of work that we have to do as missionaries. We had a baptism a couple weeks ago, Cinthia was baptized to join her sister, Anahi, as a member of the church!
This week I got to play in two basketball games! Our first was on Tuesday and the other team didn't show so we won haha. We got some guys around to play and our team played against the refs and the other men that were there. Our second game we received bad news that we were to lose one of our biggest guys. Yet, we had hope and we beat the team in first place by one point! I love basketball and it helps us take a break from the work so we can recharge our mission energy!
We met some really cool people this week: Christina, Carolina and Carla. They are friends and invited us to teach them this week. They are really cool and they came to church this week!! Pray for them that they will feel the desire to continue and pray as well for the members and the bishop to help us more with the missionary work.
There are two Mama Galletas in our area. Mama Galletas are people that really show and love the missionaries. Two of them, Hermana Dinora and Hermana Tellez, put on a party for my birthday. We had food and cake and music! It was really cool and I love the people here!
I know this Gospel is true, I know that as we continue to work hard we will be blessed if we abide by it's teachings, one thing we are sharing with the people.
THE PARABLE OF THE PEARL
You have seven beautiful pearls. They are very brilliant and shine brightly. You meet a man that has nothing, no house, no food, no car, nothing. How many pearls would you be willing to give him? Two? Three? Let's say you give him six. You tell him that he can do whatever he wants with his six pearls but the last is yours, and it's very important to you. How would you feel about this man if you found out that he robbed you of your last pearl? Angry? Maybe he is greedy? Our Savior has given us six days to do what those things we need to do and he gives us one day, Sunday, to specifically remember Him.
I love this work and the amazing things that happen as we follow all of the commandments!
