last monday was a great pday and lots of fun! we had our second family
home evening with a family that weve been teaching and they loved as we
read from the scriptures with them and taught them the sacredness and
importance of reading from the scriptures! :)
on
tuesday it wasnt quite as super interesting.. we payed rent on our
important..(not quite as fun..) but still important to keep up on!
always be obedient and on time with expenses! then we came home and made
"gizo" which is an argentine soup that is just like a chowder with lots
and lots of vegetables and we put chicken wings in it! haha (we only
had chicken wings..) it turned out super good and everyone here cooks it
in the winter! (im very excited for all the soups!)
wensday
we had planned to meet up again with the family that we had family home
evening again to have a follow up teaching night with them.. and before
hand we made cookies for them at angels house! we made sugar cookies!
im not sure how good they were because i didnt have any.. that afternoon
me and elder donahoo started a fast after reading a talk that morning
titled "40 day fast" im not sure who gave it but its an initial fast for
a day and then its a thing to help you focus on things that matter! me
and elder donahoo are doing it to focus on the missionary work and to
show heavenly father that we want to put our lives in his hands!
on
thursday we had ZONE CONFERENCE!! my first one! how great and special
of an experience that was!! i had the opportunity to spend the morning
listening to the inspiring words of my mission president his wife and
the leaders of our mission as they had revelation to guide our zone so
we could be more effective! it was kinda hard for me to understand all
the words they said because i am still reletively new and they speak
amazing spanish! but i felt the spirit help me and i had a great time!
and smiled lots!
on
friday we went and helped angel with service in the morning by cleaning
up branches and leaves that were in front of his house.. and afterwards
we had lunch with him and his sister mercedes after! they are soo sweet
and take such good care of us! they feed us every friday and oh how i
appreciate all they do for us!
on
saturday not to much happened but that night we had a ward missionary
activity where we got to watch all the past missionary work and baptisms
that had happened in our ward! it was such a sweet experience!
on
sunday or as i like to say MOTHERS DAY! :) i had the very special and
wonderful experience to talk with my beloved family! it brought soo much
joy to my heart to see them and the smiles that all of them had as we
could talk for that short time! it was soo special to me! i sure do love
them all and am soo grateful that they support me in this grand work!
this
was a quote from zone conference: "lo que no está en el proceso, no
aparece en el producto" or in english " what isnt in the process, wont
appear in the product!" and my mission president spoke those words of
inspiration to us!
i love you all and pray for you! have a wonderful week!
con amor,
Elder Ty Driggs
