Week #57- I love being a missionary!

We did a lot better this week and we are having good success. We have a few investigators that are really progressing and  we are close to giving them a baptismal date. One of the members here gave an less active member some advice and I really loved it, he gave the example of a baby learning to walk, and how it falls, falls, falls, and falls some more until finally it can walk without falling. I have been thinking a lot about why I cant just do better, but now I understand better. I have fallen many times, but I feel like I am getting closer and closer to just being able to stop, and be able to walk without falling.Me and my companion are getting along really good and we had a really cool experience yesterday. We had an appointment with some sisters that have been having a lot of problems in their home, We prepared a lesson and we helped them feel a lot better, but after they had a ton of questions, and we had all the answers, but not in our own words. All the answers we gave were in the scriptures and we taught with unity and it was just awesome. I love being a missionary because we always receive revelation for the people we teach. The Chilean missionary in my room had emergency transfers so now I am living with Elder Barnson. There was a big flood in one of our zones so they moved all of the missionaries out of that zone. Now they are all in Chaclacayo. Its really wierd, a few people have died so its pretty bad. But all of the missionaries are fine.

Love Elder Monson
