Another quick and solid week working hard here in Paita. Lots of miracles occurred and wish I would have done a better job of recording them like always. Almost everyone in the mission left this past week to Trujillo to go through the temple for the first time. It was great to feel their enlightened spirits when they returned and it made me really miss the temple. The song "I Love to See the Temple" has been pounding in my head and I can't wait to go inside again someday. While they were gone, me and two other Elders held down the whole zone which was tons of fun and super busy. Unfortunately they were both ill and we were traveling to medical appointments a lot but nonetheless we are blessed to have the necessary technology.
We had a few productive meetings with the stake president and mission president talking about progression forms for those we're teaching. The leadership in our wards can access this information and better help us with the needs of the person. Coming into the zone I noticed the missionaries have not been filling out their area books online with the necessary points so the members are not caught up. We've been working with the companionships one by one on how to better utilize this tool. Lesson is that logging this information is important because this is a church of organization.
Sunday was filled with miracles. I had the opportunity to give a talk in zoom church about grace and I couldn't have had a better topic to speak about. I shared some points from Brad Wilcox's "Grave is Sufficient" talk and I invite to read it a couple times over. Some inactive members were able to hear it and we have lessons set with them later this week.
We blessed the sacrament like we always do for our friend Anita and she directed us to the boonies where her inactive friend Felicita lived. We shared a quick message after the ordinance and we will teach her nonmember kids later this week too. On the way out from her neighborhood we caught the only mototaxi within sight. His name is Juan Carlos and he's elect. Life as a missionary is something else, thankful for the struggles because that makes these miracles so much better.
Chao todos!!
