This week has been kinda crazy.
Probably one of the most unusual weeks of my mission haha. But it was good!
Sorry I don’t have a whole lot of
time so I am going to give you a quick overview of the week!
Wednesday I went out on divisions
with elder Vargas in barrio 6. It went good. It was cool being back with Elder
Vargas again and we had a great day full of contacting. It was amazing how
basically every single visit we had fell through but for some reason it
happened! We contacted a wwwhhhoollleeee lot. haha. And we found some really
good people. So it paid off well!
Thursday we had interviews with
President Smith and had an awesome capacitation. He taught us about how we need
to teach in a very direct and clear way. Sometimes we are so worried about not
offending people that we forget to save them. He taught us how to teach the
doctrine as it is in the scriptures and explain it so that they can understand.
And then called us all (The entire zone of artigas) unto repentance. It was
pretty intense. If I had more time, I would explain a little more but it is one
of the experiences that has marked my mission.
Friday, I went with Elder Naea to
salto to rehearse for the charla foganera we are going to have over there. It
was fun and we got to go make a few visits in my old area in Salto. I am super
excited to get the chance to go and sing with salto the 27th. ITS GOING TO BE
SO AWESOME!!! We have been practicing for the fireside here in Artigas and the
spirit is so strong. It is going to change this place! whoop whoop!
Saturday we put on our obra misional
activity for open house in the church. We played the iron rod. Basically we ran
a rope through the entire church and put different temptations in every room to
keep them from getting to the end (ex. a warm room when it’s cold outside,
friends doing the wrong things, futbol, bailes, etc) and blindfolded them and
sent them through an obstacle course. It was a blast!
Sunday! We had the most spiritual
sacrament meeting ever! The bishop spoke with the stake president and we sang a
musical number in the middle. And at the end, the stake president asked elder
naea to sing the closing song....oohhh my gosh. Not a dry eye in the room. It
was so powerful. He sang I know that my Redeemer lives. I wish every Sunday
could be like that!
Well sorry that this has been so
short. I have got to run.
Let’s all try a little bit harder to
be a little bit better this week! I love you all!
UN abrazo grande,
Elder Staffieri
