Hi Family,
This week was great! Lots of memorable moments. I didn't really mention this in my letter last week, but last week was tough for us, we struggled a lot to find new investigators and it wasn't our best week. President called us in for interviews Tuesday, and we read a scripture together in the Bible that says, "Neither he that sows is something, nor he that reaps, but rather God, who gives growth." (Sorry
for my rough English translation.)
Sometimes in life (and especially in the mission) we need hard times to
humble us and help us remember that success is not the result of our own
efforts, but rather a gift from our Heavenly Father. So after a humbling week we
were quicker to recognize the abundant blessings we received, not earned, this
week and it we were able to find a lot more new investigators!
Raquel didn't go to church yesterday which was a bummer, so we will have to
postpone her baptism a few more weeks. We couldn't visit Freddy this week because
the pool was pretty busy, but we are working a lot with a teenager named Juanito
who is doing good and obtaining a testimony little by little.
Update on Javier: He went to seminary this whole week which made me super
happy and also went to the Bolivian equivalent of Mormon Prom on Friday so he is
doing good.
I am excited for Conference and cant wait to hear from our Prophet! I know
these men are called of God and this is an amazing opportunity to receive His
guidance in our lives. Please invite a friend or someone who has never been so
they can feel that too!
Elder Harris
