Hey everybody!
How is it going?? How are you doing??? and what is
your favorite snack? haha. My answers to these questions
are.....GREAT....GOOD.....AND BREAD!!!! haha I know that I have talked
about the bread before but it is so good....However...I have decided
that I am going to not buy anymore...I know I know, You are probably
thinking.. how could you come to this decision???? well I decided that
all of my exercise in the morning is going to waste because of
bread....So I am going to stop buying bread so I can actually work out
effectively ha but I have a feeling that this goal will not last very
long because...I love bread...so I will keep you updated.
Ok now that the important stuff is out of the way...This is how the
work is going...Just kidding. The work has been going really well in
our area this week. We actually did not have very many lessons but that
is ok because Elder Maldonado and I have been working really hard and
working better together. It really has been a special week.I feel like I
have grown more this week then I have in my entire mission so far. I
know....That is crazy right? No it is true. I realized there were a lot
of things that I was lacking as a missionary...And I still lack a lot of
things. But I am more proactive at attacking these areas of weakness
and I feel myself becoming a better missionary.
Because of these changes I feel and know that our area is being
blessed. Elder Maldonado and I sat down and had discussion about the
things we need to do or improve in order to earn the blessings that the
Lord has prepared for us. We set our goals and we went out to work. And
we worked so hard this week! and we did not have any new investigators
or many lessons or anything but we kept working. And guess what happened
yesterday at church....A couple was there that we had not seen
before..We talked to them and they told us they had been talking to
missionaries but the had just moved and they were wanting to get
baptized...Now I want to ask all of you if that was a coincidence......I
don't think so...That was just a cool little story that happened to me
this week and a testimony builder for me.
Another thing that really was cool was we went on divisions with
other elders and I was left in our area to go see everybody and plan the activities for the day and everything. Now usually this is no big
deal,....however I don't speak Spanish very well and I felt a lot of
pressure and was pretty scared. But we went out and worked and
everything was great! we had some good lessons and I felt like I didn't
destroy the area so all and all I think I am learning which is great!!!
Well I really do hope that you have a good week and I am so
grateful for all of your support and your love and prayers. You really
don't know how much that means to me. I love you all so much!! Talk to
you next week!!!
Con Amor Elder Oliver
