Going to try to make this short this week.

Scriptures and miracles of the week.  1 Nephi 3:7

    A member of the church had promised to go take us to visit an area in our area the next day,...but he was very, very ill the day before. We had to walk a lot to get there and while he was afraid he wouldn't be able to go, he also believed that he would be able to.  And...sure enough, we hiked up to the Aguacate (translated to Avacado) and had a lot of success in finding a number of people who are rarely at home. 

    We have been making progress in teaching a number of our investigators, almost all are very receptive, but almost always something happens those Sundays that do not permit them to go to church.  Ugh!    

    Had a zone Conference this week-the last with our President Stay.  In June we will have a change of Mission President.  As always, it was something very uplifting and powerful. Loved it! He made an analogy to a train.  We're all on a train (the mission) and when we just begin to understand how to steer the train they kick us off.  Haha, it's so true. I'm only just beginning to feel capable in this work (although still not always completely sure how to do it) but I'm on the downward slope!  But, that's why the Lord said in Doctrine and Covenants1:19,23  19 The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh—  23 That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by theweak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kingsand rulers.

Love this gospel, love this work!  

Take care!
