We
have had a crazy week greeting and training new missionaries, and also
saying goodbye to the Elders and Sisters that went home this last
week...I feel like I have spent 2 complete days in the Airport haha.
This whole week we have been doing companion exchanges with
companionships all around Hermosillo. My companions and I have had a
week full of miracles.
One
companion exchange I had with an Elder Maldonado...We were in a pretty
difficult area here in Hermosillo...We walked, contacted and walked and
contacted some more...all day long. We are trying to teach all of the
missionaries that walking is the same thing as working....So with this
Elder we walked from house to house, knocking doors all of the way to
our destinations. We ended up contacting more than 40 people and set
appointments to return with more than 20...Elder Maldonado...was really
excited to keep going...We had a very good day....At the end of a very
long day knocking doors, at 8:15 a man at last answered the door and was
super excited to hear our message...He let us in quick and offered food
and water and sat down with us...We discussed the Restoration of the
Gospel. Later he took the Book of Mormon, from our hands as a Celestial
Gift from God, as he accepted the invitation to read and pray... after
recieving the Book he was so excited to read it he started reading the
introduction before we could leave...At the end of the day I was able to
teach about the Diligence...and what blessings are in store for us if
we are Diligent...I returned to the house walking a little funny (like a
young cowboy after his first day back on the horse) and extremely
tired...
It
was a wonderful experience, I really noticed how much the other Elders
and Sisters look up to us as Mission Leaders...We hope to have this type
of experiences with all of the elders in the mission...that is the goal
any way ...
Well sure love you guys lots...Hope you have a good week...
Love Elder Child
