Hello everyone!
This week we had a zone conference so we traveled to Villahermosa on Thursday and left on Saturday. Other than that, it was just a normal week.
Zone conference was so good! It was really weird thinking that it was my last one and honestly it was kind of sad to think that. I was able to share my going away testimony and that was a fun experience. I have learned to love speaking in sacrament meetings and sharing my testimony throughout my mission, but I got a little nervous for this one. I got nervous because I have thought about this my whole mission. I went up and just spoke from the heart and I mainly focused on the conversion I have seen in my mission, whether it be myself or other people. The spirit was super strong and it was fun to experience it with some of the Elders I started my mission with.
The work here is coming along. We consistently find people but the hard thing is getting people to come to church. This has been my problem for my whole mission and I am hoping I can figure it out these last few weeks haha. We have been doing lots of facebook finding and it has worked pretty well. Basically all we do is search someone's name, for example ¨Juan¨. You would not believe how many Juan's live in Balancán. We add all of them as friends and then send them messages seeing if they want to learn. I would say about 50% answer and out of that we find a few who could be solid.
To wrap up, I wanted to share a quick testimony about the Priesthood. Saturday night I woke up with the worst stomach pain ever and after about an hour of trying to get rid of it, I woke up my companion to give me a blessing. Him being the nice person he is, got out of bed to do it. Right when he started the blessing I felt the spirit and after he said amen I started feeling a little better. It didn't go away immediately but just enough so I wasn't in too much pain. It was a cool experience and I am grateful for my companion who was worthy to use the priesthood at any given moment.
Love you all!
