Hey Everyone!
Well another month has flown by in the mission. I feel
like I am always here sitting at the computer telling everyone how fast the
time goes by. I like what my sister Amanda said that ´´Time is
precious.´´ Isn´t that the truth. We can´t change the past time but we
can certainly make sure that we don´t lose future time. It is interesting
that Time is something that matters a lot to mortals, but God doesn´t have
time. He has eternities. Won´t it be nice to have eternities?
The gospel is awesome. Hoorah for Eternal Families.
My companion taught me a good lesson today. I have
been mocking Catholics a lot lately. Just talking negatively about them
and calling them ignorant behind their backs. I was getting tired of them
slamming the door in my face. haha But Elder Pearson pulled out the example of
our Savior, ´´Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do.´´ I
think I have repented more during the mission than I ever have in my whole
life. I have to repent and start to love my Argentine Catholic people
again. The Lord is constantly teaching me lessons. I have to keep
on learning to love.
We are continuing to work with our only investigator,
Alberto. Sadly, he can´t come to church this week, he has to work.
But he promised us that next week. We will see. The miracle that happened
with him is that we gave him a priesthood blessing this week. He told us
that that night he slept better than he has ever slept. A little miracle
to help him recognize the priesthood of God. He still hasn´t accepted a
baptism date because he wants to come to church first. He has been
passing newspapers every day for the last 68 years. Amazing. But he
is willing to stop to come to church so that is a miracle too. Life is
full of miracles. We just have to look up and see them.
We contact doors, we ask references, we read scriptures and
Preach My Gospel to renovate the Faith, and we keep on working. The
mission is good. I love you all! Have a good week!
Love,
Elder Maynard
