We had transfers this week and Hermana Gimenez and I are really excited to start a new transfer together here in Bahia! This last week we met some really great people that we are excited to start teaching! This last week we also have received so much help from our cute little ward. The people here continue to be so impressive to me. The regular attendance every Sunday usually isn't above 65 but all of them are working so hard and they care so much about helping their ward grow. These last couple of weeks we have reached around 80 people and although it might not sound like a lot, the ward has been really happy that some of the work we have all been putting in together to help reactivate their friends is starting to really show.
Hermana Gimenez and I have talked about what we can do to really help our area and to find success, and something that I feel like we are learning together is how to have faith in our obedience. Everyone knows that rules are huge for missionaries, we got a lot of them. We had been talking about the reasons why we follow so many rules, and why we have so many rules to follow. There is no point in being obedient if we are just blindly obeying. We found that when we consciously make the decision to obey, having faith that the outcome of our obedience will help us, we have a lot more enthusiasm throughout the day. Sometimes we don't get to see the direct results of our obedience, but we know that the results are there. Even though this area and this transfer has been a little hard on the both of us, we know that we are here for a reason and that when we do our part the Lord will do the rest.
On a side note Hermana Gimenez turned 23 yesterday! Hence the return of the birthday princess crowns! It was a fun day and the ward members made sure to make her feel special :)
Que tengan una linda semana! Chow!
