Goofy Transfer
Sounds like a pretty good week sounds like you were all able to have a lot of fun that's awesome haha I loved seeing the pictures :) you all look awesome
So I'm going to ask for forgiveness right now, haha because I
left my agenda in the house, and use my agenda to write you guys becasue my
memory isn't so good, haha, but I'm going to try and remember everything that
has gone on this week, all good.... alright here we go ;)
So to start off I'm feeling a lot better in my stomach, I'm
not having as many problems, so I'm a lot better i don't get headaches or fever
so I'm feeling a lot better and we were able to go out and work this week so
that is always good :) We were able to go and see Rosa this week and ahhhh haha
she's good, and thats why its so frustrating because she doesnt get baptized!!
ahhh we went and talked with her, and the purpose of the visit was to expain to
her that we can't keep teaching her because she isn't progressing because she wont
accept a baptismal date... so we knew it was going to be a super intense
lesson, but we got to her house and well she had her friends over and so we
couldn't reject her in front of her friends so we just decided to share a quick
message, and do it another day, but holy flip one of her friends just went off
and started to tell us her whole life story, and she just talked and talked and
talked, haha it was so bad and Rosa was telling her friends that they are
sinners and have to repent and I was just like Rosa please who are you to tell
people stuff like that haha when you won't even get baptized I didn't say it but
sure wanted to haha, its so funny how the people when we start talking to them
they just get hold of the confidence with us and tell us everything, and I'm
just like wow wow settle down haha its good sometimes but there are some people
that just go a little far and start from their birth to today what they have
done where they've been and what they have done haha kinda funny, but I have
sure had to learn patience in the mission I feel like its one of the attributes
that I have learned about the most :) the Next day was awesome because we woke
up and I started getting ready, and in our bathroom its kind of weird because
theres a big window haha, but its just so we can see out nobody can see in, its
in a place so people can't see the window but yeah haha its hard to explain but
I was showering and all I realized that the sky was full of dark clouds!!! I
was so happy haha because theres never clouds here haha and when its like that
means that the day will be cool!! ahh it was such a great feelling haha! and it
was a super cool day, it actually rained a ton! haha and it was cool and all
but then we started getting really wet, and the roads got super muddy because
its all dirt road, so it was cool and all but felt like I was on west Mountain in a
rain storm, and nobody would open the door!!! ahhhh haha but it was alright the
rain only lasted a little bit and it was cool afterwards, we met a sister that
is super cool she had questions super cool, she was asking us why are there so
many churches she wants to know whats the right one, and if hers is the right
one! but after all that she said Elders, look I dont want to offend you or
anything but I'm not ever going to change churches and I was just like what???
haha it seems so silly to me that the people can be so hard hearted just for
the fear of the unknown or commitment, I hope that we never settle for the good
when we can have the excelent, I love this church and I know that it is true,
we were able to have a lesson also with Jesus and Andrea. Jesus was the one to
ge baptized this week but... I'll explain later but we went with them and had a
lesson super powerful and he promised that he was going to go the church and
all that but this sunday never showed up!! ahhhhh we havn't gone to visit him
since but when we do we are thinking that it will be the last time , because
that was the last chance that we wanted to give him to show his interests in
batism and well he didn't show it, and so we cant force him to do the good, it
hurts us to leave him and stop teaching him but as it says in James a faith without
works is a dead faith, he may have faith but isn't putting his faith in action
so we are just going to have to let him go, but we are sure that the Lord has
someone else prepared for us :) no worries
We went with Rosa to let her go also and it was super hard,
because she knows what she has to do but doesn't do it we explained the
importance of not to wait to do the good things, becuase we loose blessings,
but she told us that she will tell us when she will be baptized, and she
thought that we were mad at her, and I explained to her that it isn't anger that
we have but sadness, because every night we pray for her that she will make
good decisions, and we feel like Alma from the Book of Mormon when the people
wouldn't do what is right and he would feel a spiritual weight, I told her thats
how we feel and she felt bad, but not enough to make the decision to get
baptized.. but she said she is going to keep going to the church so thats good
:) hopefully she will make the desison to get baptized and will invite us
haha ,
We had interviews today !! ahhhh super crazy hah the zone
leaders called us at 1030 last night telling us we had interviews in the
morning in Navojoa so we had to wake up super early on our pday and go to
Navojoa for the zone interviews, I was able to have a really quick interview
with President we mostly talked aobut the branch and the members, it was quick but
it was good to see him and his wife are so good thank you guys so much for
everything I love you all so much and have an awesome week!!
Love Elder Tanner
