Wow so things this week were incredible! We got so much done and this week we had so many blessings poured out on us! Oh it was so good! As far as unusual things like getting my thumb sucked by a gold fish or hit on by a crazy new caledonia chick, this week was pretty boring but as far as blessings it was so good.
This week in our district we decided that in order to reach our goal we had set for a district we needed to get to work and each equipe teach 14 lessons. We thought it wouldn't be possible but we took courage and hope and decided to make it happen. Elder Silvester and I both took our goal to the Lord and asked for his help to accomplish this challenge. We knew that we could only achieve this goal with the Lord's help. So we went to work! We called every potential investigator all of our other amis and all of our current amis and took also every oppurtunity on the bus and at bus stops to talk to people and now.....we HIT OUR GOAL!!!!! We had set our numbers previous to Elder Darguence's challenge so we surpassed them pretty largely but this next week we are really hoping for the same results. Nothing feels better than put all the effort you can to do the Lord's work.....even if it gets tiring.
I am doing much better myself. I have refound my testimony and i have found a strong drive to work hard but also relax. I've taken time to let my mind slow down instead of constantly thinking thinking thinking! Walking by the river here and also having rendez-vous outside is really helping. Also something i have started doing is just being open and honest with my feelings. If something is bothering me i say it and if i feel like i am starting to get angry or frusturated i just take things a little slower. Also something that is helping is not always punishing myself if i feel like i am not doing what's right. I have really stopped being so annalytical and that is actually helping me grow and have more room for spiritual revelation. I feel much more guided right now.
Well yeah that is me right now! It is the last week of the transfer so i will have news for you on saturday! I think elder Silvester is outta here but we'll see. Anyway for the moment i think that is all! Thank you for your prayers and support! I got the post card from bellingham today and that was so good thank you so much! I love you all! a bientot!
