Man,
the weeks are FLYIN’!
This
week was a little slow on the numbers side of things, but I’m focusing on what
really matters - the people - and I feel good about what we’ve done.
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: It’s what you do
in your spare time that counts. This is something I’m learning little by little
through experience - that preparation is EVERYTHING. Preach My Gospel talks
about a lot of things that we should do while we’re teaching (ask for
referrals, ask questions, invite members to lessons) and we like to hyper-focus
on these things, but I’ve seen a lot of missionaries who leave the house of
their investigators and immediately start to behave inappropriately. As a
result, it doesn’t matter what they do in their lessons - they misbehave in the
street, the Spirit isn’t there while they teach, and their investigators don’t
FEEL the message the way they should. No Spirit - no success.
What we do in our spare time
reflects our true desires. If you spend a whole day teaching a class about the
importance of the family only to come home and spend the afternoon on Facebook,
what are you really saying about your family?
This
week, I’m going to try and schedule an appointment during PDay. That’s oe of my
committments to show God I really want to share the Gospel. I invite all of you
to make a change in your lives to fill your spare time with the things you
REALLY care about.

I FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON
CHALLENGE! It was awesome!!! I started reading on the 1st of February,
highlighting the names of Christ in red and doctrines in blue, and I finished
on Tuesday of last week. I was filled with a desire to repent of all the things
I’ve skimped on and re-dedicate myself to be the best missionary I can be.
Marbel called us on Wednesday and asked us to go and give her a blessing! It
was a great opportunity to serve. She’s starting a new business so that she can
be more self-sufficient, and she’s worried that it’ll go badly. The Lord
promised her that she could have success to the measure of her faithfulness and
dedication to His commandments.
MIRIAM SEPARATED FROM HER BOYFRIEND. After we taught about the Law of Chastity,
she talked it over with her boyfriend and, concluding that he was unwilling to
have a temple-worthy relationship, chose to separate! That means that she can
get baptized!!!! :D
We played basketball with the young men!! It was super fun and refreshing.
Pdays are awesome!
Thank
you all for your love and support. This week, I hope to get lots of emails
about how you’re demonstrating your sincere desires to God!!! He will shape
your lives to give you more happiness than you ever thought possible.
Love,
Elder
Carson
