You are lucky with the weather. It is starting to warm up and I will finish my mission riding off into the sunset with some nice weather hahah. That sounds good about the school plans. Its weird that I will be going to college soon even though I'm not looking forward to that... but its alright
This week we had Consejo (counsel) which was pretty good. I got to speak about a change of heart and how we can have this change of heart. I tied it into a puzzle with sometimes we are missing that one piece to complete the puzzle and sometimes as missionaries we have that missing piece as well but if we change are hearts and come to the Lord we are able to complete the picture/puzzle and are able to see clearly what God has in store for us.
After that we had a Zone Conference and well it was good. We did like a "shark tank" thing but you had to sell items that we use as missionaries. It was fun and you had to think outside the box on the importance and the why of the item. It was a great activity
Later in the week we got a call from President while we were in the offices. He asked us if we could do him a favor and as his secretaries we are more then willing to do anything. He asked us if we could go to Cheesecake Factory at 11 oclock at night to give a waiter that had waited on them that same day a blessing. He was going through a rough time. So we were in the offices till 1030 and then we took Uber to go there. We met the guy and he talked to us. We listened for about 30 minutes and then he accepted our offer to giving him a blessing and we gave him a blessing there in the mall in more of a private place. The good part was there were not a lot of people because it was 11 oclock at night. After the blessing we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it. Now he doesn't live in our Mission so we don't know a lot on how he is doing but first things first... the back story behind this was crazy. So first thing was that day was the day that President gave us Books of Mormon to write our testimonies in. What scripture did I put in??? 2 Nephi 22:2 God is my salvation I will trust and not be afraid for God is my strength and my song and he has also become my salvation. So a very comforting scripture. After that President and his wife were going to go to another restaurant but it was busy so instead the went to Cheesecake Factory and guess who waited on them for the 6th time??? Thomas. and who happened to have a Book of Mormon with them with a scripture that was already in it with a testimony.... and we just happened to be in the offices when President called ...and we happened to be in the right place at the right time and that just doesn't happens but rather God loves his children and he helps them through his servants and we were able to see the power of God comfort somebody... the Book of Mormon be a comfort to him.... to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord and to be able to see the plan that God has for us in this life. It is crazy how it all worked out and how we were so ready in that moment and that is because God knows each and everyone of us and he cares for us and he wants us to return to him and we were able to help someone do that. Even though Thomas doesn't see it as clearly as we do we can testify that it is true... that God does love us and he has a plan for all of us.
That was our spiritual experience for this week. It was a great week and we finished it cleaning out the office and making it look good. Also we got to have All you can eat pancakes at Ihop for 49 pesos. It was awesome!!!!
