San Jose North - Week 5


Dear Family,

This week was good, it was hard but good. Sister Spencer is really doing well, I hope that I'm as much of help to her as she is to me. she's really a great missionary.

Yesterday we only got two people to come to church and both of them won't commit to a baptism yet.  We had other people promise that they would come to church and we really believed them; we believed that they wanted to, but then none of them came. It really bummed me out.

Then after church Sister Spencer told me that I looked kinda tired so if I wanted to rest for a minute upstairs while she made lunch that I could, so I went upstairs and it was really hot, and my fan wasn't working the night before.  I have to fix it every time I use it but yesterday I wasn't doing it right or something. I got to thinking about how we're doing the best we can to be obedient, and I'm aware of other missionaries who aren't being as obedient but their areas are thriving, and we're praying and trying to get creative on how we can get people to want to come to church, and we are being lead to a lot of people.  We find so many people, but they just don't care, and I was thinking about how my fan always breaks too. So then I knelt down and put my head on the ground and just prayed and cried for a minute.  I just wanted to know what to do.  I really want to help these people but sometimes it feels like they don't even want to help themselves, and i just wanted to fix my fan too. I remembered Enos, and I decided I would pray until I felt better. It took a minute but I eventually got up. I got my propeller working for the fan, enough to get a steady breeze, and then I climbed onto my bed and laid still for about 5 or 6 minutes. Heavenly Father gives peace to those that ask. We still have problems.  We still have people that aren't willing to commit, but Heavenly Father spoke to my heart and mind for a little bit.  He told me what I needed to do and what He wants me to know about my problems.  I know He loves me. I know He cares. I know He would do this for any of His children. We're still working on our things but I'm grateful that He is helping us.

I'm doing a lot better today, I feel more peace and in control of these situations. Thank you for all that you do!

My rice just broke through my bag and spilled!

Me screaming that my rice is gone and I'm hungry.

Me laughing about it...anyways, who cry's over spilled rice.

The front of our entrance to our apartment

There is beauty all around!
