My week could be summed up by two experiences: the first being when one investigator told us she likes the church because we do sports. And, the other when we went to contact a woman and her son told us "she says I'm home alone". Hahaha gotta love the mission.
It was just one of those weeks when it felt like no matter how hard we tried and no matter what we did, no pasa nada. But it's ok, because all that means is that Heavenly Father has some really great miracles in store for us!
We had cambios and now I'm with Hna Choque from La Paz! She's really sweet and we're both really excited to work together in Guracal!
Right now we are working with a menos activo family that has taught me more than any one else on my whole mission, the familia Ortiz. The father is a return missionary and he was the ward mission leader when he just decided to go inactive. They just barely started recieiving us, which is such a miracle. It's really interesting, because with his head he knows everything. And he knows that too. He's told us multiple times how he knows all the lessons, he just doesn't feel it with his heart. And he knows his heart is hard right now, but he's sure it will soften someday. It's really sad because his wife really wants to go back, but she's a convert and he makes her feel like she doesn't know enough. But, I just love them so much and I know that I'm here to teach them. I know they will go back, we just have to work really hard with them and pray for them.
As hard as this week was, things are great! I love being a missionary and the hard weeks just make the good ones even better! I know the Savior lives and loves us. I've learned so much about how much Heavenly Father loves us. I hope you all have a good week!
Love you!
