Alright.
This past week was good for us but also dissapointing. We had 4 baptisms planned for yesterday (Sunday) but they fell through. They were either sick or suddenly went out of town. I don't know for sure. But we reset the date for this Sunday and we will see what we are going to do!
We learned a lot this past week about the little simple things that make the difference. We as missionaries feel responsible for the decisions of our investigators and we have to make sure that we do ALL that we can do in order to help them make the right choices, and that includes diligence and obedience!
So, my companion and I rededicated ourselves. Set goals and everything to be better this week. To find more, teach better, and be faithful instruments in the hands of the Lord.
One thing that I realized this past week is that if we are doing what we are supposed to do, the members are affected too. If we are being good examples, the members are going to notice. 2 weeks ago a father of a priest that accompanies us told us that he is very excited that his son accompanies us because he can see a change in his behavior and how he acts and talks about the missionaries. Now that was a great blessing to hear. That even when we don't know it, we are making a difference! Well then, this last week that same father called us at about 9:30 when we were just finishing planning and he told us: "Elders, can you call my son and talk to him? Because he is not being very obedient today." What a surprise! My companion said. "Wow, he sure does have a lot of confidence in us to tell us that!" It's so true. We called the son up. Told him what's what and helped out the family. They are all awesome and help us a lot. The son is really cool and a super good member and priest. So remember! SOMEONE IS WATCHING AND SOMEONE NOTICES. You can affect lives without even knowing it. So affect them for the BETTER!
Besides that everything is going great. Getting colder but the heat still comes back with a vengeance sometimes. Humidity is killer. Today though I put on my jeans! For the first time since forever. It feels good. But walking in the street with them feels weird. I feel like I blended in a little more. Like I was in hiding. In civvies.
Well today we are going to go play soccer once agian! YEEESSSS. With the members too so it's going to be fun!
Love,
Elder Moore
