Well shoot....... this week was a crazy hard week! Some of the days it was all push.... We had a way hard time with the people, just being mean.... But oh
well that is the life of a missionary some of the days. Some days people hate you
and are ridiculous. Other days people are just way nice! We just worked
hard and prayed that everything would work out! Well, Sunday rolled around
and it was a feeling of somberness that filled the missionaries, as all
of the investigators we had planned on coming did not come. Some days you
will face disappointment, even when you work as hard as you physically
can. The thing I have learned through my time being a missionary is
that you cannot force someone to change. They have their agency. You cannot force
someone to come to church and feel the spirit. You can't force someone to
be happy. You can only provide them with the most ideal environment and
let the spirit do the testifying and have the faith that the person you
are teaching is really feeling the things you feel!
Well life always marches on no matter what. You cannot slow down
the march of time. You can only enjoy the ride! I did some calculations
this week and I have about 36% left of my mission. I have 39 Sundays left. That is not enough time to teach I need more time. Weeks go by way to
fast now. Time is just sailing on. The transfer is almost over. We are on
the fourth week of a six week transfer. Time is the enemy right now. It is
just going to fast!
Well at least you have a temple to go to. Remember that and be
grateful. People take the temple for granted. They really shouldn't,
because when you live in an area where there is no temple, people are
more hardhearted because the spirit doesn't have a as strong foothold. It will get harder the closer Thailand gets to having a temple, because evil will
always try to crush goodness - no matter what we do. The more goodness there is in life the more wickedness will rise.
Well the zoo was pretty sweet. It was way awesome being able to go and get in for less then 2 dollars!
