Our zone is the coolest.
Just the honest truth.. Last night we had a total of 16 other people from 4 different zones that wanted to attend our ''Pizzona''. We through together a zone activity today and it just rocked. Everyone came! We played a good couple hours of soccer, ate our pizza like nobody's business -- 6 slices per person. and finished with coca cola floats. Everything about today was a success. and after today, without being prideful, it's clear that hainamosa is the zone the be in. And everybody knows it.
But the week was just a wonderful, sweaty, hot, sunburnt week. It's fair to say we've gained the title of the Michael Jackson missionaries. Our teaching pool is pure teenagers and younger kids (like 10-12). Last night we successfully taught a house of 10 smiley kids who Jesus is and why it's good to go to church. I'm not sure how we swung that, but all of them want to go this next sunday.
Speaking of next sunday, we have been informed that the Ward Los
Solares has been evicted (persay) due to remodeling on the building. So, we're be in a little house of a member that definitely will no accommadate our congregation of a whopping 95-100 members. I'm interested to see how it's gonna play out.
Also, this thursady we're got the bus thats taking us to the temple. ElderPalacios and Lasso have two new converts that are going for their first time. If i'm not mistaken, we'll get to go in and help with baptisms. First time of the mish. I'm stoked.
Amazing encounter of the week. We past by a less active Hermana who is just the sweetest old lady married to the most loving and happy husband. We had mentioned, or I had mentioned that we wanted to have a family night with them and make the Habichuelas con dulce. (google it). Come to find out, she misunderstood and made a whole pot JUST FOR US. So we feasted and feasted, and then she i'm not joking , filled up a bubba keg of the beans so we could have some for later... SCORE
This past district/zone meeting thing. It fell to me to direct. and I want to share the scripture I shared with the group with you guys. It's a slamming get yourself excited for the gospel kind of scripture:
22 Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.
23 Let the mountains shout for joy, and all ye valleys cry aloud; and all ye seas and dry lands tell the wonders of your Eternal King! And ye rivers, and brooks, and rills, flow down with gladness. Let the woods and all the trees of the field praise the Lord; and ye solid rocks weep for joy! And let the sun, moon, and the morning stars sing together, and let all the sons of God shout for joy! And let the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever! And again I say, how glorious is the voice we hear from heaven, proclaiming in our ears, glory, and salvation, and honor, and immortality, and eternal life; kingdoms, principalities, and powers!
What have we got to lose? Why are we holding back? This is our time. We are all sons and daughters of the all powerful, we are here to futher his work. It's time to ask ourselves if we really are doing all that we can. We've got Christ's coming to prepare. It's our time, right now to bear testimony of his live giving and life changing gospel. The responsibility falls on us.
Shall we not go on in so great a cause?
Lets do this, there's no better time to start than right now
Love you like bear cares for it's cubs
