Good timbers do not grow with ease!
Hola mi familia! Esta semana fue muy.... bien:)... y muy dificil, y muy
bien:) I will start off well, at the beginning.
Lunes- It was the first time it snowed! And it was literally freezing! That
day we had no car, of course, and we did A TON of stop bys and a ton of
knocking.. REALLY divertido ja ja.
Personal study was really good that day!
Well, actually its my favorite time of day, so its the BEST every day! Here is a
really GOOD quote I got from today from George Albert Smith about Missionary
work! (I only know it in Spanish.. ja ja)
"Obtendremos nuestra exaltacion en el Reino Celestial solo con la
condicion de que compartamos con los demas hijos de nuestra Padre las
bendiciones del Evangelio de Jesu cristo." WOW right? AMAZING- (mom..
translate)
Martes- I got to write all of you lovely people my family!
Miercoles- We had a district meeting, SOO good. Our District leader is
awesome, and so are our Zone leaders, they kinda, well crack the whip I guess
you could say. Which is good. Something I learned was God and Jesus Christ's
work -To bring to pass immortality and eternal life of man. Our purpose (D & C
11:20) To keep the commandments with ALL of our might, mind and strength! With
EVERYTHING!- only then can we hace an eye single to the glory if God!
And.. (this made me think of you dad!) in D y C 81:3-4 To promote the GLORY
of Him.. we must proclaim the GOSPEL... yeah, coolest thing you ever heard!
I know it is! Quote from my journal about hoy, "I feel so bad, every time
Hna Felt says a prayer, I fall asleep, whenever ANYONE says a pray I fall
asleep, I have never been so tired in all my life!"
Jueves- Journal quote today, "Nos tros tratamos!, we try we try we try!"..
We get potentials, we try going back to see them and they drop us, so we try
again! But cool story at the end of knocking we found one person who would let
us in, and it was a blind lady. Wow, the spirit was strong during her lesson. She lost
her sight because of being pregnant and having diabetes.. and at the end of the
lesson when she said the prayer, these were her words, "Thank you God, for
sending me these lovely beautiful missionaries."... man I almost started crying,
because I knew she couldn't see us, but the spirit testified to her, and that is
why we seemed beautiful!.. ah SO cool!
Viernes- ja ja, I realize now the the flu was coming looking back at my
journal, Quote from my journal, "well, my tummy can't handle me eating today, but
well esta bien!" We had a lesson with a less active family! La familia Diaz,
okay, the coolest family EVER!.. they were hilarious, so that was fun to have a
short lesson with them, and as we were leaving (just imagine a middle aged
Mexican, stout, and short..) Hna Diaz, said SISTERS SISTERS (In a Spanish
accent) you need to eat this lasagna! You need to eat it all! ha ha and gave us a
TON of it! I love Latinos:) and this night we had an AWESOME lesson with a
member Hna Garcia! Who actually just got home from her Spanish speaking
mission and got married to Hno Garcia, who WAS AWESOME! Our investigators are
coming to their house to watch the restoration, Maria y Edgar! It was Awesome:)
church is true.
Sabado- well, I had the flu... the double dragon (ask Jacob)... I watched
every church movie available.. it was rough. Having the flu on the mission, is
quite unexplainable. It was horrible.. ha ha... but I am grateful that I had an
awesome companion who took care of me.... ( but I really wanted my mother.. oh
sooo bad)
Domingo- Well, I really tried to be happy at church, but it started out,
hard, because of the CRAZY weather! More then anything we thought it was
going to be a flash flood, but the Lord protected us! The time it took from me running from the
car, to getting in the car, I was soaked... and sick. But church was good, and
our members our awesome. My favorite part of church is the choir:) ... the sing
with your whole heart.. and even though they are all tone deaf... it really is
beautiful to me! In fact, we stayed for the 10 minute choir practice after so
that I could join them! I couldn't even hear myself at all, but I LOVED it! Ah,
I love Latinos:)
So, Thank you my family for you prayers for me:) I really do have the best
family in the whole world:) I keep in mind, Good Timbers do not Grow with Ease,
because that's what President Monson said in Conferenica General! I want to be a
tree with good timbers, though the process, is long and hard, its worth every
minute! Also I loved what the prophet said, Shall I falter? Or shall I finish??
I SHALL FINISH!
I love you!
Hna Hammond!
