:D yep, true statement. and we have a "vail" in the Vistor's Center that is obstructing our view of the Temple right now :/ The construction workers are chiseling away that the flow and cutting new holes for new electric wires and stuff that I really know nothing about but I'm greatful for it...just praying it's done before December or our festival will be even more chaotic than I've heard of.
This week i have yet again learned that the Lord has a plan for each and every one of us and even if all our appointments fall through, he will help us find what we really need if we just keep the faith in him. so we've had some full pros days this week...actually all this week and it has been great! On monday...appt after appt fell through but we kept treking alone. We even got to wear PANTS and do some service in a garden - another thing I know nothing about but should. But amidst all the failed appts we were able to meet some new people and set up appts to come back. We started singing a hymn to an elderly lady yesterday who was so touched she wanted literature to read...we didn't have any Book of Mormons in hand but we gave her a pamphlet and said we'd come back again :) So if you ever don't know what to do on a doorstep - SING! one of the Quickest ways to invite the Spirit and it helps others soften their hearts to what your saying.. And to everyone reading this who is not a missionary -Sing when you need the Spirit! I do that all the time in my head...outloud, whenever I'm needing and don't have it for some reason or another.
Oh and I was having a little bit of a rough time this week..just thinking too much and there was a Brother Barrera who came to the VC, I've met him once before and he loves missionaries (apprently he just gives referals of everyone he knows...he's a member missionary). Well, I was talking to him and he just really helped me pass over what I was frustrating myself with and just let me know to keep going...Satan Gets to us! He tries so hard cause he knows how good it is and wants for no one to be happy because he can't be. Well. He chose to not be happy. And we can choose to be happy or not. Just don't let him get YOU down. YOU can do it. Read the scriptures, pray for help...one of Heavenly Father's angels will come and help you.. I promise you that!
As for our area - well it has been a little slow. We had to drop our investigator because she's not ready to forgive some people in her life :/ BUT we just got so many more miles so now we can go to an area that has so many hispanic people that we never see because of the limit of miles we have!! The Lord has a plan and we're finding it! Oh - and super cool experience we had with a member who is having a hard time right now...Basically we went to the VC and she told us all that has been going on and how her husband is growing stronger in his faith but how every hard thing keeps coming at her. The Spirit was so strong! I was so impressed to promise her that her and her husband would be together again one day and that they would both be prepared and enter the temple together. And in the mean time, they are going to be instruments in the Lord's hands to help build others up...! WOW! It was amazing. And I testify that that is true. I know it.
