Hola amados mìos!
Wow, would you look at that. It`s November and I have
6 months in the mission!! I can`t believe it. Time flies,
verdad? I still feel like a baby in the mission. haha The mission is just
one of the most humbling experiences in the world. You have to rely
completely on the Lord Jesus Christ. I arrived in a foreign land and
couldn´t understand a word, and after 6 months I only understand every other
word. haha But the mission opens your eyes to the eternal perspective.
Nothing else matters in the world but the Gospel, and that is why Missionary
Work is the greatest. We help others open their eyes too. People
are lost in the dark, and we help them open their eyes and see our Savior Jesus
Christ, who is the light and life of the world, who overcomes all
darkness. The good news is that we are all missionaries! We are
missionaries for our whole lives! So do I have 18 months left or 60
years?:O But I love my mission. I can´t wait for the many more good
things to come.
This week was a week to show our faith. We basically
dropped all of our investigators. None of them are progressing.
David, who had a baptism date, he investigated the church for the wrong
reasons. We prayed about it and decided it would be best to let him go
to. It´s hard to let go of people that you prayed for, fasted for, and
that you love. But we had to trust in the Lord that it`s not their time
yet. Besides the fact that we have dropped many investigators we had one
of the best weeks of my mission numbers wise. Lots of lessons taught and
we received lots of references too! I feel like the Lord blessed us a lot
this week for relying on him to find new people to teach. We have lots of
appointments set this week for new people, so I am excited! We will see how it
goes!
Because it is 6 month mark, here is a little testimony in Spanish!
Yo sè que Jesucristo vive. Me encanta la
mision y que yo tenga la oportunidad a servir mi padre celestial. Yo sè
que el libro de mormon es verdadero. Es el libro màs poderoso en todo el mundo
y podemos acercarnos a Dios mediante el mensaje que contiene. yo quiero
mi familia y yo sè que vamos a vivir juntos para toda la eternidad. Yo
agradezco mi Padre Celestial cada dia por mi mision y la vida que yo
tengo. I LOVE YOU ALL!! Have a great week.
Con amor,
Elder Maynard
