We are about to have Zone conferences again. Im pumped we are
going to talk alot of teaching because the mission has gotten alot worse at
teaching. And the mission numbers show it. In may we had over a 100
convert baptisms, now in December we had less than 40. but we found more in
december, put more baptismal dates, and there were more people attending
church. So its the way we are teaching them. According to the interchanges
that we did with the zone leaders we saw a reflection of that. Even some of the
zone leaders are struggling in the way they are teaching. So these zone
conferences are really going to be focused on that!! thats exciting. Also
we did 2 interchanges this week one was with Duran norte and the other in
Quevedo norte so in my last 2 sectors. It was fun seeing all of the people
again. I kinda feel sad because do you remember Medardo? Well we
found him and it looks like he is not taking the right roads. he picked up the
habit to drink again. I really feel sad for him but on the other hand i really
feel happy. because i know that my savior died for him and that makes it
so he can repent and jump on the right road again. A video really brings
me a lot a peace in my mind. its called why we need a savior. it came out
christmas 2015.
Even tho it came out such a long time ago its i still
remember the first time i watched it because it really simplifies the saviors
atonement so that even a little child could remember it. We showed the video to
a family that is a little uneducated a while ago and here there is a lot of
people like that. I dont think Ecuador has that great of a education
system. In Guayaquil its better but either way its kinda sad. So the
people like that we need to use a lot of videos and pictures so they can
understand. We asked them before we turned it on to look why we need the
saviors atonement. We made sure they understood the question and played
the video and the spirit filled the room. I wanted to ask them the same
question that i gave them from the start but i was prompted to ask just how they
felt they responded that they were really grateful. we asked why and they said
because thanks to him we can turn around and start over.
I know that we dont have to dwell on the same sins
that we have committed before. He gives us a chance to forgive and forget
and start with something better. I love the savior i know that he surely loves
me more than i love him because he is always focused on the goal of getting me
to the fathers kingdom. Im trying to be better everyday and i know that i
have weaknesses and alot of them but i have to work on them. I love you
guys alot and just by your examples to me you guys have shown me what a true
leader is and trust me more than once i have felt like a parent here hahah i
love you guys so much
