Hola mis Hijos,
Alright well this week was kinda slow but there was also
some good stuff so here we go. So Monday night we had a Family Home
Evening with the ward as missionaries. The purpose was to teach the
members how to teach their friends about the Gospel, because our members have
told us that they have friends but they never give us references. So I
decided to planch (roast) the whole ward a little bit, because I could. I
started by sharing D&C 58:26. Just read it. You'll see.
Then I followed that with a quote from Niel L. Anderson: "If you’re not a
full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the
time to paint one on your heart." Then I proceeded to help them know
how to give us references. It was awesome.
Then Tuesday we had interviews with President which went really
well for me. So I've been hearing a little bit that I'm going to train
after this cycle, but I didn't really know for sure. But ater my
interview President said, "I have a question for you. We have a lot of
leadership positions in the mission, but one of the most important is the
position of trainer. Do you think you would be ready and willing to
train?" (Obviously I said yes.) And then he said, "Well, the
Lord and the Spirit have made it known to me that you would be a good trainer,
so I have the feeling I'll call you as a trainer very soon." Soooo
tonight I find out if I'll be training, we'll see what happens. It was
really humbling for me because in these past three months I've been able to see
the Spirit work through me to help these people that we're teaching. So
if I do get called to train, I'll know that it's not because of me, but because
the Spirit has been able to help me and prepare me to be able to do someting
like that.
Then in one of our lessons this week something super cool
happened. We had finished the lesson and our investigators were telling
us about how much they wanted to change their lives. Then Jose said,
"I know that this is the path I want to follow", then, pointing at me,
"I want what he has. Everytime I see Him he has a huge smile on his
face." I was able to tell him that this Gospel, and being here
sharing the Gospel, has made me incredibly happy. It was really cool that
he noticed that about me.
OKAY the funniest thing. Today we hiked a
mountain. We were coming down and my comp says, "Warren! Start
calling pres!" I was like, "Why?" He said, "I'm
gonna sprint as fast as I can and I might die!" Before I could say
anything he started sprinting down the loose gravel of the mountain. When
he was almost at the bottom he face planted HARD. I'm talking full-on
scorpion. I actually thought he died for a second. But don't worry,
he turned right around and gave us a black-toothed smile. It was pretty
dang crazy haha.
That's about it for the week! Hope you all kill it
this week and that you're all in the process of sending me packages! (;
Haha Love you guys
Elder Warren
PS Actually Pres just called me and yes I will be training
starting next week.
