Alright well first off sorry I
didn’t write last week! It was a crazy day and I had to do a TON of stuff to do on
the computer. SORRYY!!
So this week was good! It started off
great, on Monday we had a Family Home evening with a member family and
their niece, Guliana(12 years old). We taught a lesson and she accepted the
invitation to be baptized on the 29th of this month. She’s way nice
and loves the church. She’s gone a million times but has never been baptized,
so we’re way excited about that! Great start to the week.
Tuesday... we wake up and
MOSQUITOS. I have never seen so many in my life. I have over 40 bites from this
week. I’m convinced the mosquito’s are from the devil because the drive
missionaries CRAZY!!!
Wednesday... We had Mission Council
in the Mission Home and Elder Viñas of the Seventy came and gave a little
workshop. SUPER GOOD. He spoke a lot on how we can be regular missionaries or
we can be exceptional missionaries that have power to help others. He said that
to become one of these exceptional missionaries, we need to learn how to be
humble. We need to learn how to repent daily. We must be humble to help the
people were teaching be humble enough to listen and change. A missionary said,
"A golden missionary always finds golden people to teach."
I believe that to be true. I think that as we become better people, God will
entrust us with people that are ready to hear the gospel. After, Pres. Guiliani
spoke on FAITH and how we must have faith and HOPE in the missionary work in
our areas. People that say that “it’s impossible” will never achieve anything.
We must have faith that we can
do it. That’s true with anything in
life! We can always have more faith in others and in ourselves!
Then on Sunday, we got to go see
the re-dedication of the Buenos Aires temple! It was way cool and I’m super
excited to go after my mission. I’m so grateful for temples and the blessings
that they are! Everybody should try to go to the temple more
often!
Alrighty, well my times up! Love
you tons!!!
Your favorite elder,
Elder Hjelmstad
