Good week. Solid, some might say.
Tuesday was a very powerful day for me.
We had the opportunity to go as a mission to the temple!!! So we had to be on
the bus before 6:00am and that was good times. We got there around 9:30 and
entered the 11:00 session because we couldn't have made the 10:00 session. We
finished the session and I had some important questions to ask The Man Upstairs.
I testify to all who read this letter that our Heavenly Father answers
prayers!!! And He answers them just how we need it!!! The power and gift of
prayer is much, much more than we realize at times and I invite you to gain an
unshakable testimony of it. When we finished there, we headed for the bus. And
as everyone was getting on, for some reason Elder Varela and I were the only
zone leaders getting everyone organized even though there were 4 others there
with us. Where were they? Who knows!! Probs real cumff in their seat chowing
down on some CHEETOS!!! And to top it all off, there was some clown of an Elder
yelling in the back of the bus, "Let's go! Come on Varela! Why are we
waiting?!" Now, for those who don't know, I'm pretty patient most of the
time. But when it comes to chumps being jackwagons, I'm not a fan. So I went
over and let him know that he should be quiet. To keep it short, he agreed. And
off we went to Cuautla once again!! All good things Tuesday!!!
Wednesday, well... It’s hump day. Halfway through the week. Not too much happened. We don't however, have any money. And we did however, have a meeting with the stake president in the stake center. So we got to enjoy the lovely hour walk from our area to our meeting. Other than that, we had passed by earlier with Juli and she didn't have much time, but told us she had received her answer!!! BaDaBing!!! We waited ‘til Friday for her to tell us what it was!
Thursday was awesome! We woke up early
to go over to another companionships house. We had been told by the stake
president, who happens to rent their house to the Elders, that they might be
watching movies, leaving the house late in the day, and hanging out at the youth
activities on Thursdays. Now, when we got there, their house has big windows
downstairs and we could clearly see there was no one down there. So we call and
when they answered, we can hear the call woke them up. But the worst part is
that they straight up lied telling us that they were downstairs doing
exercise... We could see everything and they were NOT downstairs nor doing
exercise. So that was fun catching them in the act! We know we can't trust them
now, and also why they haven't had success. Needless to say, we'll be on them
like ugly on an ape!!!
Friday was great! We had our lesson with
Juli and she told us about her answer!!! She knows that the church is true and
has invited a few people to her baptism!!! This is going to be super hard for
her because her whole family is Catholic and they don't like the fact that
she's listening to us. And because of where she works, everyone knows her. And
because we have our lessons outside, everyone knows that she’s listening to us.
So several people have talked to her about that and judge her a little...
jerks. But she could use prayers now and then if it isn’t too big of a hassle!
I'd appreciate it!
Saturday was alright. Almost no success
though. We did however see a sweet mercy of the Lord! It’s not easy getting up
at 6:30 every morning after walking the day before. But if we wake up when
we're supposed to, we have energy and are awake the whole day!!! It’s like
magic!!!
1 Nephi 16:28 "And it came to pass
that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they DID WORK
according to the FAITH and DILIGENCE and HEED which we did give unto
them." Just like all things the Lord gives unto us, our reward and
blessings depend on what we DO with them!!!
This is the work of the Lord! This is
His church! We know it! But, do we live it? And just as important, do we love
it? Thank you for your prayers!!! As Always!!!
Stay Classy,
Elder Johns
