Well, this week a lot happened, sorry for the long letter!
monday, we did a FHE with a family in our ward and invited
another family that has shown interest in getting to know the church, so i
decided to take care of food, and the mom of the family "Candida"
took care of the lesson. I made a whole bunch of french toast and everyone
loved it, no one there had ever tried it, so that was super awesome! haha
tuesday, i had to go to the capital to update my passport,
to be liscensed as one who can be here legally and share about religion, it was
nice to see all my buddies, cuz we all had to do it, but i also saw someone
interesting there, the AP from the west mission, KURT BELL, he is from layton
Utah, i played indoor soccer with him in high school, really small world! haha
wednesday, we went to the temple as missionaries, got to do
a session and talk with president, really is a cool experience every time we
get to go, which is every 3 months, i learn tons with president Corbitt, really
awesome day there.
thursday, we had a zone conference, and elder De los santos
and I gave a little discussion on how to keep faith in Christ through the hard
times as well as the easy ones, went really well, we came to the conclusion
that it all comes down to humility. that is key, as well as repentance, relying
on the atonement, recognizing your mistakes and asking forgiveness, great day!
friday was a normal day, worked hard, had some good lessons,
a normal day in the mission, except for in the morning, we happened to see this
thing out in the ocean, i got my camera, took a pic, and im 99% sure that it
was the cruise ship of my parents that happened to swing by the DR that day,
along with the kelseys, im not sure what kind of loving parents taunt there
childerent like that, porting on a cruise ship at the island where there son is
serving a mission. im just hoping they go again in 2 years or so ;) haha
saturday, we had a sweet activity at the temple with recent
converts and investigators, we left here with almost 30 people in total from
our ward, a grat turnout, the recent converts got to enter the temple and then
share thier testimonies with the investigators on the temple grounds, amazing
really! Melibeth entered and loved the temple so much! Librada and Chandel
attended and loved hearing the testimonies of those who have recently recieved
the gospel, then another surprise happened, JESUS AND KATHERINE showed up with
mama castro and papa robert from paraiso oriental! crazy cool, katherine
brought me my favorite, "Harina Dulce" and we got to chat for a
while, all is going well for them, really a blessing to see them!
then today we had our zone activity, played kickball,
baseball, and soccer in the field in our area, then talked about the unity as a
zone, really good activity everyone enjoyed it, we sat in the dugout when we
finished and realized that we had all gotten super burnt!!! haha so worth it
tho ;) haha
great week overall, super fun, spirit filled, the kind of
week that every missionary hopes for!
until next week,
ELDER AUGER
Elder Sierra with all
the people that came with us to the temple, super awesome trip
