Week 14: A sauna but you can't relax

Cool VW Beer Van
Monday-I am grateful for silence and the peace that comes from it.
Tuesday-I am grateful for pictures and how the spirit teaches.
Wednesday-I am grateful for haircuts and time to study.
Thursday-I am grateful for happiness, Nat Geo, my testimony, watermelon, and trying.
Friday-I am grateful for BBQ sauce, ice cream, honesty, double rainbows, and sunsets!!
Saturday-I am grateful for the beautiful sky, goals and the BOOK OF MORMON!!!
Sunday-I am grateful for limes, not caring about the weather, dishes, and my knowledge of the true Gospel!

I have been out for more than 3 months now, I don't know how I feel about the time yet.

The Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion and if you have a testimony of that singular book, you have a testimony of the true church, read the Book of Mormon and pray about it! 

We made some pretty high goals for us on Saturday so that we could meet the standard. We worked hard and were able to meet our goals that day! It was a good testimony builder for me. If I use faith and work hard, the Lord will provide. 

I think I am going to go deaf from all the darn dogs here holy cow!! You don't understand!

Got hit by the rain a couple times, but the rain isn't necessarily that bad. What's crazy is after the rain. I felt like I was just walking through a sauna but I couldn't relax, it's insane how humid it is! 

The Bible videos are great y'all.

To be honest this week was difficult in terms of teaching and baptizing. We had 3 people that we were teaching say that they don't want us to continue visiting them. Pretty rough. So we spent a lot of time trying to find new people to teach but it's all good. 

It is so easy to get caught up in the numbers of missionary work. You make goals with numbers every day and you talk about how many lessons, how many people you found, how many in church, how many baptized. And, we have to report on our numbers multiple times a week. But on Sunday we visited a member and had a super good conversation with him and he said something to me that I have heard multiple times, but I feel that I really need to apply it. Its about the quality of baptisms, not the quantity.

Focus on the person and not the number.
 
Breno and rainbows
My companion thinks that I am crazy when I say that I still want to run even when its a shower outside. Oh well. 

Continuing to have some really good food and even better dessert.

Learned about humility this week. Yeehaw!!
