This past week has been incredible! We are working a ful in our area and being blessed abundantly.
This past Tuesday, we had a great
district / zone meeting. We reflected on the interviews and capacitation we had
with president and his call unto repentance. So in district meeting, we talked
about repentance and the doctrine of repentance for us as missionaries and for
those we teach. I shared some experiences that Elder Vasquez y yo tuvimos that
changed my mission and challenged them all to do the same. The Spirit was there
and it was just awesome! Then after wards, we had a humbling zone meeting. We
all did a rendicion de cuentas in front of the whole zone companionship by
companionship in the stake center on a giant projector after the worst week Artigas
has had as a zone. It was awesome. We all took responsibility of what happened
in our areas the last week and took it upon ourselves to improve. AND THIS PAST
WEEK!!! oh did we improve!! And the district too! wwwwwwooooowwww. It was
incredible. I think I had one of the happiest moments as a district leader in
my mission so far! Seeing the progress of all the companionships in my district
and all their desires to get even better!!aaaahh! Nothing could be better. So
we are all way pumped to give even more.
After the changes we made last
weekend, we have noticed a huge difference in our area. We have been working
with more members, finding a whole lot more (found a new family of 6 this past
week!!! :) ), our ward is a lot more animated, our companionship has been
strengthened, the spirit is here more, etc. it’s just been going off in our
area!
This past week we had a choque de
fuerza with our ward too! This is when we all meet up at the church as a ward
and go out to visit menos activos and knock doors and stuff! I went out with
the bishop and second councilor. It was awesome. We went and visited an old
bishop who had gone inactive, and a 3 other inactive families. We had a really
great experience Saturday night and then on Sunday, we saw the results! A full
chapel! aaahhhhh!! I haven’t seen our ward that full in over 5 months! It was truly
amazing! All the members are so excited now to get out and work!
Also, a first on my mission, I
played the piano in sacrament meeting. After what I thought was 5 years of
piano lessons without learning anything except up on the housetop turned out to
be false. Over the course of my mission, I have been teaching myself how to
play again little by little. haha. And now I can play. Well mas o menos. I know
how to read music and this past week I was practicing and I played in sacrament
meeting. It was pretty fun. The ward appreciated it. So thank you mom for
taking me all the way to Rancho Bernardo every week to take lessons when I was
7 years old. I am now seeing the results at 20 hahaha.
Well sorry! That is all the time I
have for this week! I love you all so much ! Thank you for your thoughts and
prayers!
Let’s all try a little bit harder to
be a little bit better this week!
Pray for oportunidades to share your
testimony!
UN abrazo grande,
Elder Staffieri
