Hi Everyone,
I used to think that the time
was flying by but now I think it’s going at the speed of light. It’s impossible to slow down! I’m getting used to Comitan though little by
little. This week was “cold” and I
realized that I’m basically going to freeze to death when I go back to Utah because
“cold” here is like 60 degrees. Some
bullet points for the week.
- We went to Trinitaria, a colony about 25 minutes from
Comitan. We visited a less active
and then started looking for more less actives. We weren’t having luck though so by a
stroke of inspiration we went to the Post Office and asked for their
help. It turns out that all of the people
we were looking for live super far away, very sad.
- Hermana Diaz and I had
an in tune with the spirit moment when we were both walking and talking
but stopped at the same moment, looked at each other and turned around to
contact a teenager who was smoking a cigarette in front of the liquor
store. I asked him when was the last
time that he had felt peace and he said, “never.” My heart broke a bit for him . . the
Gospel is so awesome because Peace is exactly what it offers to all
people. #PrinceofPeace
- District Meeting! My
first one here. . . they announced some changes in the mission. . . now we
can drink Coca-Cola! What?! I don’t even like it that much but we
had to drink one to celebrate. Also
they’re going to give us a huge map to cover our whole wall,
basically. We learned a lot though
about how to be better missionaries.
It’s easy to blame lack of success on everything or everyone else
except yourself. . . the area, the members, the time of year, the climate.
. . but the best missionaries make the best out of what they have and find
success. I think it’s a principle
that applies with life as well . . . we can accept the circumstances of
our lives or we can change them.
- As a Zone we’re going to read the whole Book of Mormon in a
month . . . that’s 23 pages a day!
We are underlining in purple every time the Lord promises us
something . . . it’s actually really cool to see just how many promises
there are when we are obedient.
- We’re in the church choir and are going to sing in a
Multi-Religious Event. They say
that the Catholics always win and it’s possible that it’ll be true this year
as well but we’ll see.
- And our miracle of the week was finding JL. We were stopped on the sidewalk because
we were lost and a man approached us and asked us who we were and if we
could teach him . . . He went to church on Sunday and we visited him in
the afternoon, and we invited him to be baptized. He has gone to many different churches
but he told us that when he partook of the sacrament he felt peaceful and
calm and knew that it was the true church.
So when we popped the question . . he said, “When will I be
prepared?” MIRACLES ARE REAL, and God totally prepares His children and
puts us (and them!) in the right place at the right time. :o)
I’m doing well, I’m getting
accustomed to my area, companion, the house, the climate and everything and
praying for more miracles! I hope you
all have a great week!
Con amor, Hermana Dangl

They are allowed to drink Coca-Cola now.

I subbed as Jeffrey's Primary teacher and the lesson was on Missionaries so I had the kids write Hermana Dangl a letter.
