We went into this last week feeling really awesome about our work. The week before we had found a lot of awesome new people and we were making plans as to what our next move was.
The zone leaders came down Tuesday night, unexpectedly, to have exchanges. I got to work Elder Pires, from my first district in Anapolis. On Wednesday we worked in trios and Elder Swenson and I teamed up with Elder Boyne,
the other zone leader. I always feels that I learn a lot during exchanges, but that the work seems to slow down.
Thursday we met with little success, and again on Friday, but then Saturday arrived!
Saturday we were tracting out a street and we were finding a lot of soft people who didin´t want to keep commitments. After a horrible lesson, where the person just wanted to challenge us on everything, I turned to Elder Swenson and said:
Me: This is going to be awesome!
E. Swenson: What?
Me: All our lessons today have been horrible, so you know what that means.
E. Swenson: Sure do.....
Me: It means that we´re getting tested to see if we´re worthy of the blessings God wants to send us, so we´re going to find someone awesome today.
That night we taught a family of four that accepted all the commitments and a baptismal date. Now I just hope that I don´t get transferred before they get baptized. Sunday night we found two more families that accepted baptism. Milagres sao reais quando voce cre!
This last week we also started to teach two kids English.
With love,
Elder David Short
