Hello People!!!!!!
This is elder pack saying hello and well good day.....
This week has been a very interesting week to tell you all
the truth. I learned on Wednesday that I
would be receiving 2 other missionaries in my area and well I was senior.....
hmm how interesting right? It didn’t have too much sense but that’s how these
things go in the mission. Usually people
get put in trios not in quartets hahahaha maybe we can start a singing
group!!!! hahaha so we have gone to work but didn’t find much success, I say
this week should be much better because we have learned good things and well we
are in a better grove to get things done.
My new companions are Elder Castellanos (23 months) and Elder Reed (5
months). Elder Castellanos is a great
missionary and has held many different leadership positions. I am grateful for the opportunity to be with
him and learn from him.
So this week I taught a lot with elder reed, who is from
Arizona. We worked hard and well didn’t
have too much success. But, I hope in this
week we will do better. So the thing is
I feel bad because I don’t know how to help him learn Spanish hahaha. He is better than I was with 5 months. All that I am doing is not talking English
with him. In this, I am hoping it will
help his Spanish. I have also been
helping him when he makes mistakes and when he needs words. Sometimes I wonder if the things I’m saying
are right, but I think the people understand at least.
This week we ran into a Jehovah Witness and someone believes
in Buddhism. hahahaah It was great. He gave us special water and some bread, but
the bread was filled with some sort of beef potato cambo haha. He doesn’t believe in eating meat because
it’s breaking the no kill law of God. He
also doesn’t believe in a resurrection of the body. It was interesting to talk to him. I asked him, “Why do we have a body then?”
because he had told me that all things had a purpose. He told me that it was an interesting
question and that he was going to go look for an answer. We gave him a Book of Mormon and told him
about Alma 40. The Jehovah Witness gave
me homework to answer what Paul meant in Gal 1:8. Well, I know the answer. I just don’t know how to back it up with the
bible. I need to find a scripture that clarifies what is the gospel of Christ
or of our Father in heaven, then use the Book of Mormon to show that they have
the same purpose. This will be my work
for tomorrow. Elder Castellanos will be helping
me because he doesn’t know either. I
just need to think of how I’m going to approach this with the Jehovah Witness
so he doesn’t put his guard up and get offended.
So this is basically all that happened…oh and well as I
understand, Fabian is progressing well is most likely to get baptized next
week. I don’t know exactly how he is
because Elder Castellanos and Elder Olvera are teaching him. It kind of makes me sad, but I know he is in
good hands. Also, our recent converts
are in their hands hahahaha.
Love you all and hope that you have a great week!!!!
LOVE ELDER PACK
