Hey all!!
Well, I am going to try to make this fast because we have a
crazy half p day today because of...well this is my first announcemtne,
tomorrow we are going to have special changes and...I am going to be
training!!!:) Haha I am still going to be here with Elder Crandall and
everything but Elder Da Silva from the other side of the ward has finished his
mission, and they are sending his companion, Elder Gamiño to finish his
training with us so we will be in a trio for these next two weeks, i am super
excited!!
The big thing from my last week were our interviews with
President. It involved Eldre Crandall and I running around all day because we
were in charge of the interviews from the whole zone and we just had a lot of
chores we had to do the whole day. But, I was the last interview and it was all
worth it for what President said to me! We had a super spiritual interview
about what the Lord wants of me these last 6 weeks. I have never felt an
approval stronger from the Spirit than when President said, ´´Elder Stout, if
you just keep doing exactly what you are doing, you will be able to walk onto
the plane and feel the approval of our Lord Jesus Christ because you have
faithfully and dutifully served Him. If this were the mile, now would be the
time to kick, run hard through the tape, don´t stop for a second and that´s
what He needs of you, but thank you for all that you have done, you just need
to finish what you have started.´´ i am so ready to do just that these last few
weeks.
We had a cool experience of finding a family on Saturday!
The jimenez family. We have been buckling down and trying to look for all o
fthe less active members of our ward, and they were one of the families that we
had on our list. We had to be a little persuasive to get in, but they finally
let us in! Then, we applied what President has taught us of putting outsleves
in their shoes, we really tried to imagine what it would be like to have
missionaries visiting them after so much time, and we just tried to be their
friends and let them feel our love. I dont know why I wanted to talk about
htem, but I was just really excited by al lof that!
Ema and Cristian and Jorge all came to church this week
(Valeria too) and they are all progressing really well towards baptismal dates
and are also introducing us to the entire world!
Yesterday our 4th of July was pretty calm! After our
leadership council in the morning, President and Sister Mecham invited us to a
bbq which was cool! Then Elder Crandall and I found rootbeer so that made our
day! Also we found nervios that day too and so I included a picture of me with
our friendly neighborhood crazy hermit.
As I promised the scripture of the week is from D&C
50:45-46 to start off my new chain!
And the day cometh that you shall hear my voice and see me, and know that I am. Watch, therefore, that ye may be
ready. Even so. Amen
Lov you all, Elder Stout
