So, this week was jam packed. Lots of lessons, lots of knocking on doors, meetings, finding investigators, eating costa rican food, getting a little bit sun burnt (I cannot say anything now, with Jessica in the Dominican Republic, and in the hottest part right now...) When President Wilkinson was our mission president, I would often write him, then copy and paste a bit of that letter into the letter I send to yall....but now that my mission president is from Honduras, I have to write him in Spanish....and I don´t really feel like translating what I wrote to him....so here it is...copied and pasted....good luck 😜 Maybe putting it into Google translate will help....
Estamos trabajando mucho con nuestro líder misional, que tiene menos de un año ser miembro, y muchos miembros nos apoyan. Yo se que en santo domingo podemos bautizar a 5 personas esta mes, aunque por el momento no sabemos quienes...Estamos aprendiendo enseñar con más unidad, yo y Hermana Nuñez, y a resolver nuestras diferencias.
Yo amo ser misionera. Amo Santo Domingo. Amo esta Rama. Soy feliz a trabajar al lado de usted y de mi zona, mi distrito, y mi compañera. Voy a seguir mejorando y buscando maneras a trabajar más eficazmente y ser más osada. Quiero aprender tener más fe, paciencia, esperanza, y reconocer al Espíritu."
I just want to share a little bit of my personal study this week. Acts 14:22 The apostles went on lots of missions after the ministry of Jesus Christ. They did so to strengthen the spirits and animo of the disciples in all parts of the middle east. They let the Christ´s followers know that through many trials, we enter in the kingdom of God. Jacob 1:7, Acts 16:28-32 Paul and Silas, during one of their missions, were put in prison. Even though they were whipped and abused, they sang hymns while in the jail. Then God sent an earthquake and the walls of the prision fell. The guard that was watching the jail was about the commit suicide when he thought that his prisoners, Paul and Silas, had left, but Paul stopped him. Then they taught this guard and his whole family and they were all baptized. Wow. Especially in the hard moments, these missionaries and disciples were always thinking in others and how they could bless their lives. That is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Remember to always praise God and sing and be positive in the hard times, because we might just be used as an instrument to bring about good times for other people.
I love you all so much!
Keep up the amazing work and be happy!
Love,
Hermana Flake
