Week Twenty-Six!
This
week was a long one, not because of anything
that happened, and not because of anyone else, but because of my own pride.
I was pretty upset that I was taken out of Chilca right before my
birthday and I let that bug me even though I knew there would be changes my
whole mission but I still let it bug me a lot to the point where I wouldn't let
anyone in or I would pretend to let them in but really I didn't get to know
anyone.
On Friday I got a reality check and it really opened my eyes to
how ridiculous I was being and since then I have really been able to improve which
is always good. That is one thing I
really learned this week, yeah, we know how much we have improved and gotten
better and met our goals. But there is
always more we need to do.
Yeah, I can understand and read Spanish, but I still fault a lot
of the speaking, yeah, I can look people in the eye and actually talk to new
people but I still need to learn how to be more personable. There is always room to improve and that is
something I learned a lot this week. Being
in a new area I don’t know anyone and they don’t know me. They just see where I am at and not where I
have come from. So that is what I really
learned this week.
The people here are pretty good.
We baptized, on Saturday, a 70 year old man named Lorenzo. He grew up in the jungle and was an alcoholic,
because he said the elevation bugged him.
He quit drinking and became ready for baptism. It was a really remarkable story and the ward
here has been so good to him to the point where one member bought him a brand
new beautiful new cane to replace the walking stick he was using. It really is a beautiful thing.
Love you,
Hermana Peters
Look my
mission!
