This week continues to be hard. I really feel ok in that I'm working as hard as I can and doing all I can do so I'm not discouraged. Just realizing that there is somthing God wants me to learn here. I think it has to do with diligence and patience and humility. The scriptures really help with my search for the reasons why these baptisms are not happening and what I need to change. I really treasure the time we have everyday to study and search the scriptures. Have you guys read the book Jesus the Christ? Well ya gotta go read it. It will change you're life. Everything we do is for the investigators. We study not for ourselves but to teach them the lessons so they can be baptized or rescued.
I was in sacrament meeting last week and looking around and seeing how we had NO ONE of our investigators in the church that day. But I felt like God gave me a moment of his perspective. And instead of getting sad and stressed I felt peace. I am here for maaaaaany reasons and God is using me how he wants. I felt he was happy with what I've been doing here,
I got to go to the Sisters meeting and it was a amazing and good news -I read scritptures and participated without dying! But the best was when I got to talk to Hermana Del Rosario and she had great news from the elders that took over our área. Apparently they have had over 10 baptisms from all the people we had found and taught! We left that area a little sad because we didn't have any baptisms there. But now I have a testimony of planting sedes. God knows what he is doing and we did make a difference there even if we didn't get to see the fruits. It made me so happy! Sooooooooo full of heavenly joy!
Lots more is happening but nobody got time to tell it all. I love you all so much and I really am so happy. No pics this week because the stupid ghetto Peruvian internet stinks haha iloveperu
Love
Hermana Quist
