Well we had some more of our zone leave for the field yesterday and this morning... My district is now the zone... We didn't get any new missionaries this week and we won't get any tomorrow, so we have to combine with an all elders zone on Sunday if we want the sacrament. Hopefully we will get some more missionaries soon:)
Our district now has a Best Two Years story. Hermana Kunzler was teaching an "investigator" with her companera and she switched up some words. So instead of saying God is our loving Father, she said God is our lunch father... Hijole! Muy chistoso! And we have learned a new game. It's called El Jugar de los Limones or The Game of the Lemons... If you know how to play Big Boody, it's just like that:)
We also started something called TRC, which is basically where you either go share a 20 minute spiritual thought, in Spanish, to a member, or you teach a 20 minute lesson to an "investigator" or a real investigator. It was super fun. The first time we went mi y mi companera taught with a member and she was so great. We also talked to a member from Concepcion, Chile. She was super sweet:) Yesterday we started teaching with an actual investigator. She's really interested in the temples and forever families, so hopefully we answer her questions:)
Our Tuesday devotional last week was really good. Elder Bradley Foster spoke to us about not wasting time on our missions and the importance of prayer. He was very animated and compared our missions to a race. He explained that we can't get caught up lacing our shoes in the middle of our missions. We need to use every minute serving the Lord. And I would suggest to ya'll to read D&C 98:1-3. Muy Bueno:)
On Sunday we learned about different cycles. In Relief Society we learned about the cycle of sacrifice. We love the things we sacrifice for and we sacrifice for the things we love. In Sacrament, we learned about the cycle of success. In order to find success, first you need faith. Then comes humility, patience, and then much work. And as you have faith and humble yourself, the Lord is preparing the hearts of those you will serve. And the devotional we had was awesome! The talk was given by Brother Allen, who's in charge of a lot of things dealing with missionaries. But he talked about being an honest and true missionary and he was very firm about what he said, like Elder Holland firm. But he spoke about how we need to be exactly obedient and if we don't want to basically we can just go home. He used the song True to the Faith a lot and it made me think about other's who have served. Some people have even given their lives for the Gospel. We need to be examples of that cause. It was so great! Tonight we are supposed to have a general authority come speak and it might just be Elder Holland. He comes like every two months and he's supposed to be due now. Can't Wait to see:)
Another really great thing that happened was that when I went to the temple I looked up to see my grandma there. Oh my goodness! I was so excited... More in shock though... I wasn't expecting to see anyone... But it was great:)
Anyway I would love to hear from people, so please write to me. Mail is a treasure out here. You can even try dearelder.com too. It's like a letter, but I will get it faster:) Love ya'll!! Behave yourselves;)
Love Always,
Hermana Walker
