This week was awesome! had the baptism for Nidia and
Joana!! we also had cinco investigators come to church!! Cant tell you
how happy it makes me to see all these pictures on the blog! you guys
motivate me to work harder and harder! nothing I'm more grateful for than
my family! and wow 10 of my mission is now history! I wanted to cry
when I saw that video that Elder Rawl made because that really seemed
like yesterday! miss my trainer Elder Rodriguez. I was reading in my
journal the other day and I amazed at all the experiences that I've had
and all the things that Ive learned! Ive learned that obedience,
diligence and attitude are going to determine becoming a sacred
missionary. Something that I used in my capacitation today is what I
learned my Senior year from my friends grandpa, "a positive attitude
changes everything." at times, almost everyday, as missionaries, things
aren't going to go the way we want. plans or appointments are going to
fall. and your attitude is what is going to determine if you find
success! to me, if plans fall, it just means that god has prepared
somebody else to hear the gospel! Nephi, when god instructed him to
build a ship, didn't say, "oh but god that sounds really hard.. (with a
couple more complaints)" no, but instead replied, "Lord, where shall I
go that I may find ore to molten, that I may make tools to construct the
ship?" if it were Nephi he would've said " Lord where should I go to
find those who are ready for the gospel" so yeah this week as a district
we are going to focus on the attribute faith.
We
have an investigator named Oscar, and the guy is like my best friend.
Hes with a member and they have two kids together! they aren't married so
that's why he hasn't been baptized yet but this week they decided they
are going to get married!! He speaks English and so when we go, we just
speak English! he likes to hunt and fish so I told him when he came to
Utah, we'd go up to the cabin!
Also we had
Martha, the really old lady, come to church! she is so funny! we were
explaining baptism to her and she was like, " are you kidding me, your
telling me that I gotta go all the way under the water?" haha
I
grateful for all the blessing we are seeing everyday. I love you guys
and hope you know that you keep me motivated to work my hardest
everyday! I pray that you have a safe week.
love you
Elder Berry
