Hi family! Well sorry I didn't email you yesterday, there was no time!
We went to bio park which is this like giant petting zoo haha... It was HORRIFYING! I'll send you pictures! Anyways! Other than that this week was really interesting. There were a lot of ups and downs. So this whole transfer we have been trying really hard to find people. And we haven't been finding anyone. But FINALLY 2 weeks ago we found a way sweet investigator! She's 18 and just so prepared. We had one lesson with her and it was so awesome! But then she doesn't show up to her second lesson. We call her and she told us that her mom told her she can't talk to us anymore. That was really sad! Okay. And then the elders passed us this way awesome investigator and we had a lesson with her and it was an amazing lesson. We set up an appointment to come back for another lesson, but she messages us a few days later and drops us too. And gosh. It was just enough for me. I was so frustrated and I didn't understand why it was happening. I mean we were working so hard and I was just so frustrated. I still don't know why. And I guess it's not really that important to know why. I don't know, i had kind of a hard time coming here for my last transfer, but I came with faith that good things would happen. And I feel like pretty much the whole time I've been here it's been a huge trial of my faith. And I mean, those are important and going to happen. We need our faith to be tried, that's how it grows. But I think this week I realized how selfish I was being, and I realized that I was forgetting the most important thing. Relying on the Savior. I've learned how much He understand and how much He is there. And probably more than any other time in my life, I felt His help this week. I know that my efforts aren't in vain. Maybe I'm not seeing the results I want, but I know that my work isn't for nothing. I'm grateful to be a missionary. It's really hard sometimes. But we are never alone in it. I really felt that this week.
I love you guys!
