This week was a really hard week, we worked A TON but nothing worked out for us. We had about 6 new investigators planned to visit but not a single one was there as they said they would be but i thought at the
end of the week i thought, maybe this is what the lord has planned for me, to work hard but i learned alot of lessons this week about being a better missionary. We also had a meeting with our ward mission leader
and he told me "elder maybe your a planting missionary, planting seeds" and when we had the last prayer it was a like a revelation, I am a planting seed missionary. and im ok with that :) As long as i get back to the pench every night feeling good about what im doing, thats my job.
Then everything was worth it on sunday when the ward had a special testimony meeting for the members that went to the temple. When we were walking in the street on saturday we saw three members that had gone to the temple and everyone of them looked completly different. happier. So on sunday the members gave their testimonies and it was super special. The spirit was suuuuuuuuuper strong. A couple that i am super close to got sealed this week. Familia Flores. IT was super amazing to hear their testimonies about being sealed.
Then one of the members talked about my convert Alfredo from senillosa that went with them, How he was one of the people that worked the hardest in the temple. First one to wake up and last one out of the temple. He had a love for the work that no one had ever seen before. ITs funny cause he went to the temple without telling anyone and so everyone was looking for him thinking that he went to buy bread in buenos aires but turns out that he was looking for the "bread of life" inside the temple. I couldnt help but cry during that time when i heard that, i thanked my heavenly father for blessing me with a convert that was able to go
to the temple to recieve eternal convenants before i left. I am really looking forward to going to the temple in Buenos Aires on my way home. I havent been in a long time and i know its going to be really special.
