we are working right now a ton
with the program he is the gift and making sure everyone has the chance to see
it. It is going pretty good. We had also planned to have a baptism
this coming saturday but Alejandra all of the sudden said she wasnt going to
church anymore. After finding a ton of investigators they all decided
this week to stop progressing...we are trying not to get desanimated. I
had a really strong impression that I should be focusing more on my companion
than trying to run around crazy finding new people and having the best
numbers. I really have the desire to finish strong with great numbers and
everything and I will try but after talking with my leaders I have decided that
I am killing my companion. I have been running around with my head cut
off leaving her behind in the dust. Now I am more conscious of her needs
and in each prayer I ask God to help me to focus on her so that she can learn
to be a good missionary and baptize many people for the next year and a half.
She will be able to accomplish more that I possibly could in only one change if
I teach her well enough. In the mission, I have learned that God always
is checking my humility.
It has been kind of
hard to train only because she is SUPER NEW. She doesnt even have very
good higiene so I am starting from the very basics. I just hope I am
doing enough. Dont get me wrong, we are still finding new people and
focusing in on baptisms but now that isnt my number one goal. My number
one goal is to teach and love her and I feel and know that through humility
will come success. And never had I ever thought that it would be so hard
to get a baptism in south america! But here is argentina the people are very
set in their religions and honor the virgin mary. Now I think I understand what
it means to be hardhearted and stiffnecked. I just keep praying for the
guidance of the spirit each day to be able to find the people that God has
prepared. I love you all and wish you luck in this busy season,
con mucho amor,
Hermana Gunter
