Hello Everyone,
So this week, we had the opportunity to listen to a member of
the seventy. He spoke with real power and authority. He was really hard on us
because he wants us to be true disciples of Christ and teach to the best of our
ability. He taught us how to really teach by showing rather than talking. He
taught us the best techniques to really touch the hearts of the Peruvian
people. My companion and I have started to pray and read the Book of Mormon
with our investigators. They are usually not too motivated to keep commitments.
Last night was really hard for me. I found one of my best friends drunk in the
park, Walon. I was nearly in tears when I asked him what he was doing? I felt
bad because I think I was a little hard on him. He could definitely tell I was
hurt by what he was doing. I let him know that we are still here for him no
matter what and that the atonement can pick us up every time we fall. The
mission field is definitely a big roller coaster ride. My companion and I have
been really focusing on menos activos this week. We are trying to get them to
come back to church, but they can be stubborn sometimes. I know with all my
heart Christ restored his church and we truly have the authority to act in his
name. If we will do his will, miracles will happen. I have seen them.
Love Elder Goold
