Hello Everyone,
I am soo excited for Christmas. Sharing a message about Christ has been so much easier lately it is awesome. We got to go to the Zoo today and it was awesome. Pictures will come soon! We had a blast though. We have had such a busy week this week I don't even know where the time went. I had to go back to Merced on Exchanges again and that was just another crazy experience. Just the people there and not that receptive to missionaries. I had really good Mexican food though that night from a member it was the biggest burrito I have ever seen. It was delicious though!
This week we also had Zone Conference. We had a lot of new rules placed on us from our President and apparently had another talk on Obedience for awhile. He then proceeded to make us all plank while we sang to the song "Called To Serve." I literally thought of home when we got in trouble we had to do push-ups or something haha. It brought back good memories. However, I know that Exact Obedience brings blessings and Forced Obedience brings no blessings. After that though we focused on the points of :
1.) Finding constantly
2.) Teaching Repentance
3.) Baptize Converts
President Clark (Mission President) said our numbers for the month of November were terrible. He is very blunt. Haha and he was like Is the Lord Well Pleased with our mission is he even Pleased? We then stated he is just pleased with our mission and not WELL pleased. He talked to us about how there is a huge difference. I felt like wow we need to work harder. We all blamed the Holidays but we can't lose focus on our purpose and their is never excuses for our brothers and sisters salvation out there. My eyes were opened a lot more and I understood my purpose further. We are Called servants of the Lord. This is his children but this is our family out there. I know I would never want to feel lost or alone in this world and it is only through Christ we can become whole.
Anyways have an amazing week! LOVE YOU!
Oh and apparently my companion and I look like this Sister Missionaries action figures haha!
