Week 80...Mental Tenacity

Mental Tenacity

What up,

Let's get to it. This week was good. We found a boatload of people to teach and we had some super powerful lessons that came out of the blue, it's awesome to feel the blessings that God gives us after you work and struggle for so long. Things are looking a little bit better in our sector and in the zone, but things are far from sublime. Cerrillos has been without a doubt my Gethsemane. 

Elder Suarez is a great guy, super funny, and he's also mature because he has 26 years. The problem is he doesn’t really like our area, Cerrillos is not Republica and he expects to be seeing the same success that he was seeing in the golden zone of the mission! As far as I'm concerned we are disciple of Jesus Christ and we won’t just throw in the towel and give up and look for an easier way. We were sent here to use our talents to try and help others come to Christ and help other missionaries accomplish their potential.

We had a lesson with La Familia Palacios this week and we basically had given up on trying to baptize Fanny (the mom that's not baptized), we showed the video that the church has on Dad's and our role as dads to Martin (the husband who is a recent convert) ... it really touched fanny and out of no where she's just like "oye, Weaver quiero que me bautice el 30 de este mes." The problem is that I’ve heard the same thing before and I said, "Fanny, no juegue con mi corazón." She laughed and explained that she was serious, but we'll see if she actually fulfills with her word. I hope so. 

Susan and la familia Alarcon are killing me! We talked again about the Atonement and about repenting because one day Christ will come and we gotta be ready for that day. I love Mosiah 27 and Alma 34 and Alma 5.  

Grandma let me know that ya'll bought a boat! WHAT THE FLIP KIP! What kind of boat is it? I want to use that puppy when I get home but I'll be coming home in the middle of winter! 

Preston you're a stud! Thanks for being a great example to Adin and always standing up for what is right! True Disciples of Christ... that's what my brothers (and sister) are! 

Glad you enjoyed your time in New York! Sure love you all a ton! Grandpa is as busy as ever with the Fort Collins temple it sounds like! I can't wait to do a session there when I get back! Its’ cool that Grandpa and Grandma are so involved with it! 

Loving the mission and working as hard as ever to bring this little Stake to greatness! The prayers are appreciated! You're all my heroes!
