I am so sorry that I didn't write a big letter last week. We had to cut it short since we went to the temple this week so we just wrote on our iPads. Apparently I am not very good with technology. it was super frustrating and hard! How do you use it all the time?! Maybe it is just because I had such a long break from it. Hopefully I get used to it eventually.
These past two weeks have been filled with lessons, walking, heat, humidity, the temple, zone conferences, etc. It has been busy! As I mentioned before we had a Zone Conference that trained us for and gave us the iPads. it is a little overwhelming trying to figure out how to use them and try and do our best to use them effectively. We are working on it though.
We have really been struggling to find people to teach. We have several people who have a LOT of potential but the problem is that they have been really busy the past couple weeks. With it being so hot here a lot of people leave. They just can' t take the heat so they go somewhere else for a month since it is summer break. With that, we have learned several new ways of finding people to teach. With it being so extremely hot and humid we have learned and are starting to apply the water plan. Let me explain what that is. During the day we are outside and going from place to place, we are hot and sweaty and look a little pathetic, so we go up to a door and knock and ask for water. While they give us water they are asking us why we are crazy enough to be outside and what we are doing, that gives us about 5 minutes to talk to them and explain our purpose as missionaries. It really softens their hearts!
We have not had any investigators at church for the past two weeks even though yesterday was Stake Conference. We have been trying everything but we just don't know what these people need. We have been praying a lot and know that the Lord will guide us in the right direction. Yesterday however, a less active came to Stake conference!!! It is Hno Munoz. He is such a great guy but just hasn't come to church in 4ish years. Yesterday he came to stake conference and he loved it. His family doesn't know what happened but they do know that he was up and ready to go before everyone else was! It was such a miracle that it testified to me that we are doing a good work. We are working hard and helping people come unto Christ. that is what matters!
On Friday we got to have our Temple Trip. It was amazing. The temple is such a special place and since we can't go very often it helps us remember just how special it is. The peace and love that I was able to feel there have me the strength and the energy to keep working hard. That is why we need the temple so much! It is there to help us and edify us when we are struggling or even when things are going well. I hope that you all have the opportunity to go to the temple soon and feel the refreshing spirit that is there.
I love you all so very much. You are such amazing people and I am grateful to know that you are always there for me. You are in my prayers!!! Have a wonderful week!!!
Love,
Hermana Morey
P.S. Happy 2nd birthday to the best and cutest nephew in the world!!!!
