Hola! This week was good though not all that interesting, so I'll just give the highlights...
Monday: On P'day we went to Plaza Cristal, which is a mall. It was great, because it made me feel like I was back home for like 2 seconds.
Tuesday: MOLE which was actually pretty good.
Miercoles: We ate Rabbit! A member gave it to us, and it was actually pretty good. We had interviews with President George and he talked to us about marriage. We also made brownies with Hermana George.
Thursday: Hermana Alicia gave us a blender: Woo!!! The members here are pretty great. Plus, it's no longer a rule that we can't knock on doors, so we had the opportunity to knock on our first door... and it was a success! Woo!
Friday: We had a lesson with an investigator we've been working with for a while now. We actually saw some progress, which was a great feeling. Things start to click in their (the investigator's) brains and everything about why we do the things that we do as a religion makes sense. It only happens when they start praying and reading the Book of Mormon, because God starts to help them and they start to listen to his counsel. We had companion exchanges with the Mactumatza Sisters. Hermana Banda was here with me in Terrazas.
Saturday: An investigator gave us like 10 mangos! :o) We also taught a new investigator who's from the US but lives in Tuxtla. It was weird haha.
Sunday: We gave talks in church. I talked about love, loving God, and loving our neighbor. We learn in the Bible that the way to show God that we love Him is by keeping his commandments. It's as plan and simple as that! We can love our neighbors when we share the gospel with them. Like Lehi and the Tree of Life, he tried the fruit and found it to be so good that he had to share it with his friends and family. Is it not the same? Is the gospel and Atonement of Jesus Christ not the most desirable fruit to be had?
Afterwards, we sang a song called, "In the Hollow of They Hand," and it went okay - we had a few technical difficulties, the sheet music fell a few times because the pianist was playing a little too vigorously, but it was fine. Honestly, it was a good week but a little tiring... though something I really like that I saw from this quote, "Serving a mission is not a sacrifice, it's an honor." Sometimes it's easy to fall into a routine of thinking that the mission is hard – teaching, speaking in another language, being far away from home and it is hard, but more than that, it's an honor and a privilege and I'm grateful for it. Thank you all for supporting me! :o)
Con amor, Hermana Dangl
