I love being a missionary!
Buenas Familia!
I hope everything is going good! This week was a very
stressful, but awesome week! On tuesday we had a special meeting in the morning
for all District and Zone Leaders, tuesday night we had a special Zone Leader
meeting with President WIlkinson and the Heredia Stake Presidency, on Thursday
we had our Zone Conference and interviews with President! It was a week filled
with meetings, and meetings are very tiring, but it all turned out really
well! Our missionaries are happy, and are working harder than ever, and we are
trying really hard to strengthen the zone! The month before I got here, the
Heredia Zone reached only 3 baptisms in one month, and now we have the goal of
20 in March, so that will be cool if we can reach that!
Things are going well in Ojo de Agua. We are really looking
for new investigators, and we have been focusing on finding new investigators
everyday. It has been a little rough because the members here are a little
cold, but we are doing everything we can, and we are putting our faith in the
prophetic promise that we will have more success if we work through members. So
remember to help out the missionaries because they can´t do it on their own!
Thats so awesome the Josh came home though! Tell him that I
say hi, and that I am stoked to see him after the mission!
Well this week we had a very neat experience. Sunday morning
we passed by the houses of all our investigators that were going to come to church
and all of them told us no, or they weren´t there. So I was really ticked and
we got to church, and it started without any investigaotrs in the chapel. But
halfway through we saw 2 of our investigators entering the chapel! It was
awesome! Their names are Maria and Carmen. Carmen has a weird tumor in her back
so she walks with a lot of pain, and it turns out that she wasn´t home inthe
morning when we passed by, becuase she was in the hospital getting an injection
for her tumor (in Latin countries, everyone gets injections instead of taking
pills when they are sick...) so she came straight from the hospital, walking in
pain! I love her! She is getting baptized on March 2nd! It really was a huge
lesson in Humility. As a representative of Jesus Christ, I need to be a lot
more humble, and I need to rely more on the spirit than in my own abilities.
I
love the mission, and all that I am learning her. I love you all, and I hope
all is well at home. Tell Josh I say hi, and let everyone know that I love
them!
Love you all!
Pura Vida,
Elder Taylor
