Alright, it's been a minute since I've gotten one out, but I've got a good reason...I forgot. It's been an intense transfer, I was busy up in Bellingham, but Seattle is a different kind of busy. There's so many more Latinos, but they all work insane hours and so finding is insane. We've got this one spot, outside of a shelter for people that just got in the country or homeless people, amd the majority of them are from South América which is fantastic for us. The bad part is that it does belong to another church so we can't really go inside...BUT, we camp outside amd wait till they come out so we can swoon em over to our religion. We made 10 friends in a week after doing this.
Another highlight is we have a friend who has been taught for probably like...8,9 months and he said he couldn't progress cause he was dealing with divorcing his wife in México. But we got FANTASTIC news! He got it all done!! Yes! Usually it's sad, but he came to us all excited, and if he was excited, how could we not? Since then we've been meeting with him and trying to get him to progress towards baptism. We had an amazing lesson about repentance and how we can be forgiven for everything we've done as long as we are willing to put forth our best foot to change. We did go a little past curfew teaching the lesson...BUT, worth it cause the spirit was so strong during the lesson. And then he drove off and got knicked by a police officer cause he took a turn too soon. He doesn't have a license. But he got off free! I'm so proud of him.
We walked around the temple grounds with some recent converts, had a lesson there about next steps and it was rad. Super awesome lesson.
We had our MLC this last Saturday and it was amazing. Our mission president talked all about correction and how we need to stay humble in all of our doings, excepting correction as we go, to be able to become the best us we can be. To be especially attentive to the corrective voice of the holy spirit. Correcting with love more than anything else, just like the spirit does, leads to better unity in the companionships, ability to work better and stronger, and dedicate more every day, to the Lord. Becoming a true disciple, willing to do whatever it takes to serve the Lord with all your heart, might, mind, and strength. That is exactly what I aspire to do on my mission.
Also Roman's 8:31. Gas scripture.
