Already, so this past week was fairly decent. We have had a lot of member present lessons which is very important in our work, and one Hermano Lopez has been wanted to work with us a lot since he doesn`t have much else to do. The best part about him accompaning us is that he has a CAR! Thus, we have been trying to reach out to those menos activos in the country, like way far out. And those lessons are actually very promising! Two times we went out to visit them and they were working so we helped them so that they had extra time, like we grabbed the eggs in the chicken´s coops and we picked tomatoes and such. Oh and for those of you who don`t like tomatoes, we have them with absolutely every meal, I have started to really like them. Instead of having salad like we know it in the USA, they have tomatoes! And usually only tomatoes! One members house was along this dirt road that took us 3 hours to get to (we didn´t know where it was except for ¨it`s the house and the end of the road¨) and when we arrived they lived in the really old looking wood house and outside was a mini coup, and inside they had the new ps4 and a freaking huge flat screen haha! Anyways they came to church, and so did his 3 beautiful daughters! On the way back we contacted someone very interesting. He knew a little ingles, had read the Libro de Mormon (he likes to read and a friends gave it to him) and he has never met the missionaries!, the only issue, he lives in the campos.
Been giving a lot of blessings for the sick, one man, who was not even a member had heard that the missionaries were able to give blessings of the sick, so he asked us to give one to his son. It went great, and hopefully will lead to the water. So another time we were walking just contacting some houses in the campos, we found this giant hand looking thing, which from what my comp thinks, some crazy guy carved it, named luci. Which when I asked luci who...he said luci fer....so who knows ahah.
IT RAINED! One day it rained, the last Thursday, and it poured for about 5 hours in the morning, and then when it stopped the sky cleared and is hasn't rained since! It was so odd, is was freezing that day it rained and then next is was super hot. One thing I am grateful for, every night the sky is clear and I can see the stars as I go to bed. All I know, is it passes all my understanding.
Lastly, my week concluded by my companion and I eating at a menos activo house, she is fairly old and is very sweet and dear to us. Well as missionaries it is a rule for us not to eat mariscos, which are clams. Well she made soup with mariscos. All I know is we ate them gladly without saying a word. Sometimes it is hard to tell what is wrong and what is right. While trying to be cien por ciento obedient, I feel sometimes the rules can be adjusted. But I know this that through having faith in the Lord, and following by odendience,you will find peace and rest in your life. As in Moroni 7:3--
3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the achurch, that are the bpeaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient chope by which ye can enter into the drest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.
As missionaries people are put into our path, and have been prepared for us, but we are disobedient, leaving late,spend to much time in lessons, or other obstacles, we fall off that path that has been layed before us. How can we expect God to let thing fall into our lives if we are not where he drops them?
Hope all is well. May Dois Bendice nos con salud y sus bendciones. Be ready to recieve them, for they are there.
ConAmor,
Elder Siaosi
