First week of the new year gone in a flash! It's going to be hard to remember what went down this past week but I know that it was exciting and full of learning on both ends. I have had more time to study and discover new ways to find as more people have come down with illnesses. A great lesson we had over a Zoom call was with our friend Vanessa and we spoke about the Plan of Salvation. It was amazing to see her questions and level excitement even through a phone screen.
We had the opportunity to go on exchanges with some other missionaries as well and that was a blast as we were able to cover twice us much in the area and visit as many people as possible. I know the other guys were definitely thankful for the amazing dinner my comp whipped up at the end of the day.
District council was great as usual and I had the opportunity to share my thoughts about goal setting as we head into this new year. Go check out a BYU devo by Dean L. Larsen of the Seventy from May 1980 about this topic. One of his focuses is on quantitative versus qualitative goals, one gives us a set number that is simply and easy to uh understand and strive for while the other allows for a change in character throughout the journey of reaching a goal. There's a lot more too it and I think y'all will find it interesting.
On another note, a baptism was held a couple days ago and it was amazing. Figuring out how to get the font filled was a task and a half and brought back some good memories of Peru. All went well and our friend Victor is happy to be a member of the true church. In between lessons we quickly swung by the Torres family to celebrate their son Armando as he prepares to begin his missionary journey. Some great Mexican food along with some volleyball finished off the week wonderfully.
Hope everyone enjoyed their new years and are looking forward to what lies ahead. It's going to be an awesome year! Chao
