On Wednesday we were walking and saw some people, but decided to keep walking. We stopped and looked at each other, and started making excuses about how it would be so awkward if we went back to talk to them. Lesson #1--when Satan tempts you to makes excuses and not do something, you better do it! These people were amazing and so sweet and they needed to hear what we had to say :)
Thursday we taught a guy named Benjamin who is amazing and also we taught Vicenta. Lesson #2--the Spirit prepares these people. It is merely our privilege to guide them in the learning process. They will make the necessary changes when the Spirit does the teaching.
Friday is was POURING rain and it was so windy the rain was going sideways. Walking to the bus stop we went under an overpass and a car up above passed the same time we did, sending a massive wave of water down on top of us, splashing and soaking us pretty good. Lesson #3--we can always choose whether to be happy or upset in any circumstances, and lesson #4--laughter can ALWAYS make any situation less of a bummer.
Saturday we had a mission-wide meeting and Elder Hamula of the Seventy came! That was amazing. He decided to make the whole thing a Q&A and not say any of what he'd prepared. Lesson #5--Heavenly Father knows what we need and provides a way to get it to us, often through His inspired servants (so pay attention to conference coming up!)
So there's what I learned this week :) Love y'all!
