Short Tall; District; Service and Pizza Pictures
Well this week has gone by well and we really saw alot of succes. We had 8 lessons with a member and this is really good for us especially when there is like only 8 active adults that are available to go with us. But at the same
time it was really depressing when we only had 29 members come to church for sacrament meeting. I got really frustrated too when we had a "ward council" meeting and not much got done. We went over goals for this year and there was a lot of talking and Elder Hernandez just tells me this is what happens every time and nothing changes. It doesn't help when i can't understand half of what is being said and so i don't know how to help but i am especially afraid of when my companion leaves and i am the most experienced Elder here in Rosario and i am expected to know stuff. How can i be an instrument in the Lords hands when the instrument is partly broken. For me this is a fear that some how i won't have helped some one recieve the gospel because of my own inabilities to leap the small but yet enormous barrier of the language. Well enough depressing talk because I am trusting in the Lord to prepare people to be able to understand the limited knowledge that i have at this time and place and the the plan is much grander than me or my efforts. I liked the quote by Neil A Maxwell because I am going to make my self as available as I can be so that God can work through the small abilities i do have and then enable me to do so much more.
