I´m a little short on time, but I´ll fit in what I can!!!
Tuesday: Zone meeting. We talked a lot about attitude and how some of the amazingly powerful countries from 2000 years ago are super poor now, and how relatively new countries like australia and new zealand are booming, and how Switzerland has new shore and is in the middle of Europe but has one of the most powerful Navys in the world, crazy new??? As missionaries and human beings, it´s important to be creators of success instead of creatures of circumstances. I know in our new area, we could make excuses all day, but that doesn´t get anywhere, going out each day with faith and hope and diligence is what will bring success. I had the opportunity of speaking for a few minutes about opening our mouths as missionaries. It was great to speak. It really is so important that we excercies our faith as missionaries by talking to people!!! As we do that we invite the spirit to be with us and we find people that are prepared to hear the Gospel and make changes in their lives to follow Christ.
The zoneleaders asked us all to do intercambios after the meeting. So Elder Degracia from our district came to work with me. We had a really great second lesson with Laura and Pedro. They were able to read a little from the Book of Mormon. They have so many questions about this life and death and what happens after that we decided to teach them the plan of salv which they loved.
Wednesday: We went into a humble neighborhood in our new area where a few of our members lived to scope things out and contact a few people and as we were leaving a teenager asked us for money and we told him no but shared a passalong card with him (better right) and as we were walking out he threw rocks at us. We didn´t get scared or run or duck, but kept our calm and trusted in the Lord. Scripture stories come more and more alive on the mission (hashtag) samuelthelamanite.
Friday: We had a sweet ward karaoke activity that evening, which started out with a spiritual thought from us missionaries on why and to what end we all need to share the Gospel. It turned out really well. We set out a mountain of Books of Mormon for people to take as they left to go and share, and a solid 15 were gone! More should be leaving in the following weeks.
The other days: Working a lot on finding and contacting less actives and old investigators, talking to everybody. Working really hard, with the faith that good things are to come!!!
I love my comp, I love the mission, I love my family, and I love my Savior.
Have a great week!!!
Elder Fullmer
