¡Hola! This week was an interesting
week. This week a changed ended and I had a lot of the friends I made here in
the mission go home. My district leader went home too, Elder Vildoso. There is
such a great love between missionaries. People who I never would even imagine
that I would someday be good friends with have come to be great friends. It’s
one of the blessing of being all focused in the same cause all giving our best
to the work.
As for the work in our sector this
week all has been pretty normal. Well ´´normal´´ might be a bit much to say.
This week amigo had a hard fall into alcohol again. We found him twice this
week drunk out in the streets and we had to help him get back home. It’s so
hard to see people you have come to care about suffer in this way. We want so
badly the best things for him and we know the gospel is the best for him. We
feel that he knows it to he just struggles with two things alcohol and his
pride. its interesting how many times addictions or sins are normally followed
with pride when someone tells us we are wrong we have two options we humble
ourselves and accept and change or we get prideful harden our hearts and don’t
change. Amigo for so long could not recognize that he was addicted and needed
help to change and that he was doing something wrong but just yesterday we
talked about repentance and finally I think he realized that he needs to change
that he is in the wrong I hope that will bring the humidly and a change.
As for Octavio yesterday we got to
meet with him. This time his wife was busy so we just met with him he is doing
good and as we began to teach he began to talk about his problem. The main
problem is that he loves to do tattoos and be a tattoo artist. He knows it is
not approved by the church and he wants to do the right thing and was having
the big fight inside of him. We talked and tried to help him realize that it’s
not just the church that says it’s not good to tattoo but it’s a rule from god
himself for us. That if we do our part god will help us find a righteous way to
use our talents. The gift he has as an tattoos artist is truly a gift and we
are sure it comes from god and that there is a good way to use it. I think that
something we all need to know that it’s never just ´´the churches rule´´ but
they are rules from a loving heavenly father and them being his rules he will
help us keep them.
The week has been great we have been
doing a lot of contacts like always it’s been great as things keep happing I
will keep you up to date.
Have a great week
-Elder Harrison
