Hola! Did this week fly by to everyone else or was it just me?
This week went so fast it feels like just yesterday I was writing. Over all its
been a good week. I feel like I’m finally ´´in the groove´´ it’s weird because
now missionary work just feels so right. It feels like I have always been a
missionary and always will be. I know that’s not 100% true but it just feels so
normal now. It’s kinda awesome to me to see the lord give me the focus I need
for the work.
FOCUS now that is a hard word a hard action, but the most necessary.
That was really my big struggle this week was being focused and not so much
being focused on the work but on being focused on what the people are saying. I
had to fight this week to keep my mind from wandering because as soon as I lose
the slightest bit of focus I lose any chance of understanding the language. At
times it’s really good and I understand what the people are saying at other
times I will notice that I have no idea what the person is saying. With that
though the lord has been a great strength to me I can feel him nudging me to
focus and pay attention. He is teaching me to focus and slowly I’m learning.
other than that it was a great week Carlos came to church
with us and afterwards we answers his questions about the church and what
happened he is progressing well towards his baptism date which is coming up
really really fast. Sadly though, we couldn´t have our lesson with Jacob this
week (he is the one who speaks French) when the time came for the lesson we
looked and called but couldn´t get in contact with him. I don’t know if I have
said this before but we have a lot of work with less actives here this Sunday I
had the ward secretary print us off a register for the ward and it had 650+ members
on the books in our ward. That day in sacrament meeting we had maybe 75 but probably
closer to 50 in attendance. So the big push by everyone here is for less
actives getting back. So we do a lot with them. We had a great opportunity
to give a blessing to a man in our ward who was about to have surgery. It was
awesome because that really opened up the door for that family they are less
active and haven’t been super open us coming and visit but after the blessing
they were more open and when we went by a few days later they were happy so
have us it was awesome.
I’m learning and developing the greatest love for service I
love helping the people down here it’s great. It opens so many doors and makes
me feel awesome inside. Quite honestly my favorite is helping people push cars
because no one ever turns down help pushing a car. With other things people
always say that they are fine and don’t need help but pushing a car. Ya no one
says no to that. so my invitation for this week is pray for the chance to serve
and then keep your eyes open if you look you will notice that there are an
amazing opportunities to do good all around us I know I see it here and I know
its back at home to.
Have a great week
-Elder Harrison
