Weeek 67
It was a tiring week because of a few things. On Tuesday we got to our new area here in el alto. We moved into the house of the elders and it was not a pretty sight when we got here. We spent a lot of that day cleaning the apartment. What freaked me out the most was when I was cleaning by the microwave and killing a bunch of little bugs when my companion comes out and tells my that they were all little cockroaches and that there was probably a nest in the microwave! Needless to say we asked for a new microwave. It was tiring work and we were sore the next day, but we know to be able to really be comfortable the first thing we needed was the spirit in our home.
Haha and the next day we were walking around sore all over, the knees, the arm, the back, and that brings us to the second tiring thing. All the members. It was was also a good kind of tiring. We have met and got to know quite a few members, and it's great! But also tiring talking and listening and traveling. But worth it because now we know where more people live. This ward has a lot of gifted members and they are gifted in many ways. And they share their gifts. We were able to serve a sister and she taught us things about pastries, (our arms were sore after making Italian fondant but it was fun!) Another sister shared about her experience of moving to different places in Costa Rica just to turn branches into wards and then moving back home. Another sister that does massage type things, and many more sisters and amazing families.
We are excited to work here, and even though it's super tiring, we look forward to finding those the Lord is preparing through the members. No one ever said it would be easy and it feels great coming back tired knowing we could help a lot of people.
We also had a Thanksgiving celebreation with dinner and everything and I even got see a family from my first área who live in their stake and were helping with the dinner. I met a lot of great families and look forward to teaching here for maybe the next three months, maybe 👀
Also I loved studying again the words from our prophet this past general conference. "Our covenants are a place of rest. The reward is godly power! This power eases our way." The book talks about a group of people that learned the gospel of Jesus Christ and were baptized in the waters Mormón and later on they were straightened by their testimony and covenants. They remained faithful to the Lord even in intense tests. The same can be true for us! Christ wants to help us, and He really will help ease our way.
Mucho amor,
