This past week was another one of those super busy weeks, filled with conferences, minicambios, and a bunch of other reunions! Monday my companion had to leave with another Elder in our house, Elder Barrios who is now a lider de Districto so I was in Quillon with Elder Mills, to which all we had was a Noche de Hogar with some of Elder Mills Menos Activos. It was a bit interesting since I was the one leading the meeting and did not really know his peeps. We had our interviews with the President, one every three months this past Tuesday and everything is going great with our mission! Also, was able to talk to him and we finally have real beds in our house! Whooooo! To be honest, we really were not able to work all that much this week due to a already filled agenda!
In between the times where we were not having reunions, and were able to work, and with our work both good and the bad seem to show themselves. Starting with the bad, Elder Bueno and I had a mother and her two kids with fecha to be baptized, they were golden, having been taught by the missionaries about 10 years back, all these feelings of the spirit came back into her life and she was ready to be baptized then and there and wanted her kids to be baptized too, and so the second time we returned to talk to her she had completely changed, now she was a little depressed, and though still wanted to talk to us, told us that after talking to her husband, we were not allowed to return, mainly being because when the other missionaries were at her house, they would visit her everyday, and often times took away her time with the family and her husband. WHAT A LETDOWN!!!! And so after that we left her house to contact another one of the people we taught, and to our surprise one of the members of the branch was at her house! And so we were able to pass in and teach them with the member and now we have two other invests, Rita y Ignacio! They have been to church twice and love it! So just like in life, the mission has its ups and downs, and sometimes it changes drastically fast! All we can do is just keep on keeping on right!
One scripture I love is in Mosiah 4:9. In our life so must flys by as each and every day progresses. One thing that I have been promted to share with almost all of the miembros of the church is that we have spiritual highes and lowes. And many times the highes are much much fewer than the spiritual experiences in our lives, but if we think back to the day we became converted into the church, and the day we were baptized, and the day we had our first child, and any other high we were priviledged to recieve, and remember how we felt and what it was, that the times that are harder in our lives may become easier for we can remember. Remember what we knew then, and know now.
9 Believe in aGod; believe that he is, and that he bcreated allthings, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has allcwisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not dcomprehend all the things which the Lord cancomprehend.
And many times we may not even understand what and why things happen in our lives. But if we remember the moments that matter the most. Our lives will have more meaning and be much easier filled with more happiness and tranquility.
I am grateful for everyone in my life, and wish the best!
Con Cariño,
Elder Siaosi
