Hello Family,
This week was a doozy!
Monday, we had Pday. Tuesday we had a district meeting that was just really weird and last minute planned but it went somewhat well. Then that day we worked hard and gained little. We also received a message saying that we were going to have a Zone Conference, in the house of the mission. Normally that wouldn´t be a problem but for us here in Zone Zarate we had to go FAR. We woke up at 4am to get ready and leave and we arrive at the house at 9:15am. It was a great conference, we learned a lot but we didn´t get home until about 7:30pm. We were exhausted we did some last minute things and went to bed. In the morning my companion springs up out of bed as I slide off at 6:25am for some reason, I am just dead. Trying hard not to fall asleep during studies and lunch, we work hard, little success. We get home go to bed. At 6:25am my companions springs up out of bed and I slide out, even more exhausted. We go out and work and walk and go everywhere. No success. Members cancel, appointments aren´t there. Saturday, wake up. Exhausted, and confused on why I am so dang tired. I am eating well, exercising, and everything but still nothing. That day. No success. More memberes cancel, more investigators aren´t there. We want to apply the things that we learned in the conference but can´t. We knock some doors talk to people in the street. Absolutely nothing. I was even more bummed because the Cordoba temple cultural celebration was Saturday and we had to go with an investigator to be able to attend. Our investigator canceled last minute. We couldn´t go. I have never been nor seen one so I was excited to go. But we didn´t go. We went home, and went to bed. The next morning we go with a member to the 9am, dedication session of the Cordoba Argentina temple that they had broadcast in the stake centers. We had to enter with our recommend. They had a cool temple video before that was showing all the temples around the world and the insides before they were dedicated and stuff it was awesome. I didn´t see the Portland temple though but that's okay.
The dedication was great! It was my first! It was incredibly spiritual and the dedicatory prayer was super specific to Argentina and some cool things were said. It refreshed my spirit, and put things in the grand perspective.
It was amazing.
We went home, ate, and then went to a new area of Campana that we hadn´t been in a long time. We have had plans but everytime something has happened to keep us from going. Its a little bit farther and out of the way but when we went. BOOM, a lesson with one member and 5 investigators, two of which (I had met them before they are very polite but they never seemed too interested) were asking tons of questions about the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon, we were there for about an hour just asking questions, it was awesome, they then invited us to come back this Wednesday to eat dinner with them, then after we found two more people to teach that are incredibly nice and prepared. We hope it turns into something. It just goes to show that the Lord knows where we should work and when, I know it to be true! It was a valuable lesson. I love the Lord! We had more success in those 4 hours than we had in 4 days. We have to listen to the Lord on where we should go and where we should be. That is how it works! I have to go now!
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Moore
