Overall this week was a lot
better than last week. Our number of lessons went up a little bit even though
on Saturday and Sunday we only taught one less active. Semana Santa is huge
down here. EVERYONE goes to the beach for the week so my area was freakin
packed with people that didn´t care to hear from us at all, just yell Mormon
stuff at us. I did receive a few friendly waves from some people but it´s
against the rules to talk to them haha. Saturday though was insane, down here
it´s really not Holy Week at all, just free time party week, and Saturday night
they had parties everywhere, it was more wild than New Year´s and Christmas. We
made it through though.
This last Sunday we didn´t
have any investigators in church but our attendance is going up. We´ve been in
the sixties and upper fifties for about three weeks so that´s been cool. Our
one investigator with a baptismal date hasn´t come to church yet and I don´t
know what her deal is. Hopefully we can find her this week and she will be
coming to conference. This last week I´d have to say my favorite time of the
day was personal study every day, I don´t have my study journal with me right
now but this whole last week was awesome. One thing that I´m trying to focus on
is making every good thing a habit. I read from the teachings of President
Lorenzo Snow that living the Gospel is like learning to play an instrument, at
first it´s hard and we have to think about every note, every sequence, and how
to act all the time. After practice we can play the song from memory and from
habit, we have adjusted to be able to do it. And to play something wrong is
almost difficult but it is more easy to correct when we do. The same with the
Gospel, if we are trying to live the Gospel at all times things outside the
Gospel or things we do that make us lose the Spirit seem difficult and are hard
to do. When I read that I really liked it. I only read it this morning before I
left the house but I´m gonna try to put those things in practice haha. I know
that would be a blessing.
Love,
Elder Jorgensen
