Week 67: Tengo Una Mesa en la Mision

This week was full of miracles and craziness. 

We had our interviews with President Harris this last week and we were able to watch the Face to Face Elder Cook did earlier this month as well. 

Funny of the week: one of the new missionaries was introducing himself and saying he has one table in the mission, while trying to say he has one month in the mission. Learning a language is fun. Makes me wonder what kind of fun stuff I said when I first started and nobody corrected me.

It rained off and on all week, but we always happened to enter a house or be in a meeting when the downpour started. The weather has been a bit crazy but we know the summer heat is about to kick in so we have been enjoying every bit of the cooler weather.

One of my favorite people we are visiting has been meeting with the missionaries for over 16 months and when I first arrived here in this sector we finally committed her to come to church and she came! But for the weeks that followed, every complication came up and she couldn't come again. BUT even after she cancelled our appointment this last week, she called us out of the blue Sunday morning as we were leaving for church to ask if we could come by and walk with her. We were so excited!! Unexpected and a beautiful tender mercy! She was happy and content too and we are so excited to see her progressing!

This week was so crazy and we didn't actually have a minute to stop and celebrate our birthdays until Sunday (yesterday). And Hermana Collins and I almost shared a birthday with a new baby grandson of President and Hermana Harris...but he was born like 20 minutes after the 25th. But all in all, it was a fun birthday. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and who didn't forget about me--hahaha.

Thought of the week: 

We, as a mission, are studying humility this cambio I loved this part I read when I was studying a bit about it: 

¨Humility is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that you know where your true strength lies. You can be both humble and fearless. You can be both humble and courageous.¨

I really like this. Humility doesn't mean letting people walk all over truth and righteousness (or letting them walk over you). We have to be firm and steadfast in what we know to be true. We also must be humble. Humility is not a weakness, it is a strength! And I think the foundation for all the other attributes we want to develop. 

Have a great week!! Love you all

Con amor,

Hermana Eibert
