(Sorry family! I love you but I just have time to write this one quick one this week!)
It was honestly one of those down weeks of the mission. I have been talking a lot about a young matrimony these past few weeks who are leaders in the Evangelical church. They were progressing soooo much and were excited to be baptized as Jesus Christ was. I went over last Wednesday on a mini cambio and they came out with toooons of doubts. I answered them with both the Bible and Book of Mormon but in the end, they didnt want to interpret the scriptures from the Bible the same way as I did so I stuck with the Book of Mormon. I threw it all on the Book of Mormon of if it was true or not. I told them if they could prove to me that it was false, I would drop everything and go home to the United States that day. They told me that they knew that it was impossible to prove that it was false but that they were happy with the Bible and didnt want anymore scripture. We went over two days later and they told us that they didnt want us to come back. Thats just a little bit of what went on but it was rough.
Every Sunday night we have to report numbers to our leaders and I thought I was in for some hammers from my leader because we had a hard time getting people to church. He could tell in my voice that I was being hard on myself so instead of doing as I thought he would, he said that I was an amazing missionary, doing an amazing job as a leader, and that he loved me a lot. That helped so much more than anything else he could have said. I really am grateful for my leaders here in the mission.
I love yall! I could write more but we have to get in the shower really fast and go meet up the Branch President to do visits in thirty minutes! Again, I love yall and I pray for yall! Thank you for all the prayers!
